While at this work he'saved £10, and, being single and unfettered, lie decided to start out on this magnificent sum to tour the world. Ho obtained a steerage passage to South Africa,' and landed at Capo Town with only a few shillings. . Ho worked there for a month',- and earned another ,£lO, and mado for Australia. ' Another month's work at Brisbane bought Ills passage to New Zealand, and for the past two months ho was an employee on <v dredge oil tho Molyrioaux River in Otago. Ho was leavmg Auok-' land with a steerage ticket for Sydney •and £6, and he confided to tho pressman that he had spent the time of his life, and felt that his fifty-eight years weighed as lightly as twenty.
