...result. Here were the facts - the vision which had showed me my friend's murderer, and Mr. Edmund Austen, brother of the young woman - who was my plighted wife. Ah, what a deep and bitter tragedy was expressed in those few words! How could I account for these things except through supernatural causes? How could I account for supernatural causes?

From the beginning of the controversy with Yale, the Crimson has been strongly in favor of a race with that college, and has thought any other course except that of New London impossible.
