I AROUND TilE WORLD. I A Letter That Never Camo and Another That Did. Yorkville Enquirer. Although Stirring events have taken plane sinee that time, mAnv of our readers, no doubt, reinom- , her T Allen MoQuarv, the young man who eame through this section last December representing that ho was engaged in making r n a trip around the world for an Arkansaw girl. His story was unique, ho was a plausible young fellow, and ho received consider-j able attention. % It will be remembered thatl young McQuary promised to J write a letter to The Enquirer on his return from Cuba, and as a I matter of interest, The Enquirer promised to print it, in eonnec- j tion with a cut of him made from # a photograph baken opposite the j Ganson Dry (ioods store. The last that was heard from Me- | Canary, directly, was about the! mi-'dle of February, when ho took a steamer sit Charleston for .Jacksonville, Flu. The Cuban situ- j ation began to grow more and j more critical about that time, and j the young traveler appeared to ho ! lost in the shuttle. But whether j of any interest or not, The Enquirer had promised a letter and 1 flip nil-tor#1 -mil wi? wnmn Ii'.idbu I I "" 1 ago wrote to McQuarv's friend, M S (fieriti, nt Mountain Grove, Mo., asking as to his who reals nits. The reply was not received until last Tuesday. It reads as follows: Mountain Grove, May22.1898. Kditor Vorkville Knquirer: Nearly four weeks ago, I received a letter of inquiry from j you in regard <> Mr T Allen Mc- j Query, and while 1 am ashamed that it has never before been nnswered, 1 assure you the reason was because 1 kept thinking 4the next day, would undoubtedly bring tidings from the young mau. Rut I have heard nothing from him sinee ho was just in the act of entering the Suez canal, at Port , Said, Egypt. J He succeeded admirably in fulfilling his contract as to Cuba, and after returning to this country, he 'stowed awav, at New Orleans on the steamer 'Indiani,' and was not heard of again until at Gibraltar, Spain, and Port Said, Egypt. I should have heard from him by this from Yokohama, I supposed; but probably lie has not had time enough to get me a letter from there, although I am confident ho has reached that point ere this. I will receive a telegram the moment he sets foot on American soil at San Francisco, and will immediately notify you afterwards. The reason he could not carry out his contract with you folks, is easily understood, when you consider the situation he is in having to go as a 'stowaway.' Of course, in his letter to me from Egypt, he said he had al ready 'crawled out,' made the acquaintance of the captain (the crew knew he was on?in fact, helped him to conceal his trunk, etc., and hide himself until a thousand miles or more from America), and that they were now fast friends, etc. Said he had become considerably harden ed to the life of a 'salt,' and was getting along very nicely, although the climatic changes went some I I a wiihi Mv?r?iy wuDoiimor twniie. I think, unless he got mixed up in the 'fray1 near Manila, that I shall bear of him being in this countiy by the 10th of next month, at the farthest. He has shown extraordinary grit, so far, and I feel confident that he iafgoing to make it in on time with ftyinr colore.
