The sledge which Mossa had been

was no indication thai he had made
any effort to get out of the firebox.
There Is a strict rub, that men malt

reduced to a low temperature. This
is because heavy and dangerous gass

that Mossa had entered the firebox
when it was too hot and had lieen

given was with this thought In mind.
According to- Dr. Menne, Mossa
had partaken of a heavy meal Just
