Full particulars may be expected in our next; which, to meet the demands
of our numerous readers, will be charged twopence instead of a penny.
It is proposed to reserve one sheet for advertisements. Applications
for space should be made at once.
From the _Anthropomorphist_, July 25th.
We regret to say we are unable to publish a further instalment of the
report of the deeply interesting investigations being made at the
present time by our members in Giants' Bay.
Contrary to expectation, no communication has been received for several
days. We shall endeavour to accommodate the extra matter which may be
expected in our next by issuing a double number, which will be charged
one shilling instead of sixpence. In response to numerous requests we
beg to intimate that a limited number of advertisements will be
inserted, for which application should be made at once.
Part II.
From the _Stilly Gazette_, July 24th.
We understand that the last arrival at Giants' Bay has been our talented
young fellow-islander Dr John Smith. Dr Smith has arrived at the Bay
at an opportune time, as we hear that Giant Blunderbore is ill, and will
doubtless avail himself of his guest's well-known professional services.
From the _Giants' Bay Broadsheet_, July 27th.
The following bulletin has been issued: "Giant Blunderbore is still
suffering from the effects of his recent sharp attack of indigestion;
but is better. His appetite is good; and he feels able to resume his
receptions."
Later.--Giant Blunderbore has had a slight relapse, and some anxiety is
felt as to his condition. Dr Smith, of Scilly, at present resident in
the hotel, has been called in, and a consultation is about to take
place. Meanwhile Giants Cormoran and Galligantus are prepared to
receive visitors daily at 3 and 8 p.m.
From the _Evening Tell-Tale_, July 28th.
The Missing Tourists.--
Extraordinary Rumours.--No News of the Lincoln Clergyman.--
Fifty Scientific Men Missing.--The most astonishing rumours continue to
come in from Giants' Bay. In addition to the disappearance recorded in
a recent issue, we have received information that a whole congress of
anthropomorphists has been missing for a week. They were quartered at
Cormoran's Hotel, where their personal effects still remain.
Many conjectures are afloat, the most reasonable of which appears to
point to the probability of the unfortunate tourists having been
engulfed in the sands, which at certain states of the tide are said to
be highly dangerous along this coast.
Later.--At the Round Table to-night a question was asked as to the
extraordinary disappearances reported from Giants' Bay. The Home
Secretary requested the hon, member to give notice of the question for
this day week.
From the _Giants Bay Broadsheet_, July 28th.
The following bulletins have been issued:--
12:30 p.m.--Giant Blunderbore is decidedly worse. Contrary to medical
advice, he partook of a hearty meal last night. Dr Smith is still in
attendance.
