Of what followed in the next tour days he knows nothing. .On Jnne 4 he found himself in Richmond Infirmary, where he had been taken by the police. It was in the Richmond Infirmary that a man who had .not seen him for twenty years recognised him, and told him his name was George Buck, and that he was formerly an Oddfellow at Isleworth. Every effort has been made to aid his memory, but nearly everything is a blank.
