Two groups of people on strangely dissimilar projects have set up from San Francisco for French Indochina. a chance they took passage on the same steamship. One party was headed by Dr. Howard Carter, archeologist, scientist, explorer.

Let him tell about his party. It is my object on this expedition to drive deep into Cambodia in the north-central part of French Indochina in search of a lost city, a sister city of the famous Angkor.

In my party, I have Professor Lebrouen, medical advisor, my assistant archeologist, Perry Mills, and my daughter, Celia, who was acting as my secretary and historian for the trip. We as, likewise, with us as a young, comere student, Tocquan.

Strangely on the steamship, we met an old friend, Captain Bart Friday. But let Captain Friday speak for himself. Yes, my right hand men skipped Turner, my secretary, Patricia Young and I, doing a bit of a job for the French government for a change.

We're transferring an international prisoner, citizen of French Indau-China, from Hawaii back to Saigon, French capital of Cochin China. By coincidence, the prisoner, Fen-Lo, is of the same race as Tuk-Kwan, the student in Dr. Carter's party.

Yes, Captain Friday was returning the prisoner, but one night at sea, Fen-Lo escaped. In the search that followed, Celia's terrified voice was heard. The searching party found her safe, but with a strange, horrifying story.

Last night, the steamship landed its passengers. Dr. Carter's party is staying at the Hotel de Duant. And now on this hot bake oven morning, the members are seated at an outdoor sidewalk table under the arches that mark the hotel's entrance.
