Transcriber’s Notes
Changed landside to landslide in “I had been struck by a [landslide]”.
Changed Beech to Beach in “Palm [Beach], Fla.”.
Changed air ship to air-ship in “Dr. Treadwell’s [air-ship]” for consistency.
The word land appears to be used as a euphemism for lawd or lord. This has not been changed.
Minor punctuation changes have been made for consistency.
