After this he was to continue to write the incidents of the opening; and when the whole approximated to the 6000 words needed, he was to come himself to the telegraph.

I, meanwhile, went into the streets and devoted myself to picking up incidents of the procession, the deportment of the population, and the weather; and when I supposed that the opening of the doors was about to take place I went to the telegraph office and deposited 1200 words.

Long before these could be sent, Taylor's first installment came, and then Taylor himself with the second.

Young, seeing my staff always present, and thinking me asleep, took his time.
When Taylor's second part had been deposited and paid for, I saw coming down the street in a furiously driven carriage Mr.Sauer, with the first part of his message.

I slipped out at a back door and was not seen, and Sauer returned for the continuation of his telegram.
When Smalley's first dispatch had been put on, I saw Sauer coming again with his second.
