Determined to come to Canton at all hazards, he hit upon the plan of concealing himself in the bass viol. A companion concealed himself in the bass drum. Friends diguised as itinerant musicians carried them over the frontier.

Why We Chose It
“It was a thrilling experience. As I lay in the bag bass viol I could hear the musicians parleying with the soldiers. Soon I heard a scrapping of the strings. They played a popular song. Then the solders allowed us to depart over the border in peace, and we were safe.” Today’s edition is full of great stories!
