In their trial










   








  What had happened?

  Had they left some record

  had they made a document;

  what let them trust a soul,

  especially their own?





  The Casement story
  has been written by
  our great imaginer 
  of the Andes from
  London. I don't sup-
  pose this explains
  its strength?
