O. J. L.—Is that the end of the answer?
Yes.
O. J. L.—Very well then, now I will go on to the third question, which appears to be a bit complicated. "What do the following suggest to you:—
Evinrude
O. B. P.
Kaiser's sister."
(No good answers were obtained to these questions: they seemed to awaken no reminiscence.
Asked the name of the man to whom Raymond had given his dog, the table spelt out STALLARD quite correctly. But this was within our knowledge.)

Note on the Reminiscences awakened by the
Words 'Argonauts' and 'Dartmoor'
On reporting to my sons the answers given about 'Argonauts' and 'Dartmoor' they were not at all satisfied.
I found, however, from the rest of the family that the word TELEGRAM had a meaning in connexion with 'Argonauts'—a meaning quite unknown to me or to my wife—but it was not the meaning that his brothers had expected. It seems that in a previous year, while his mother and I were away from home, the boys travelled by motor to somewhere in Devonshire, and (as they think) at Taunton Raymond had gone into a post office, sent a telegram home to say that they were all right, and had signed it 'Argonauts.' The girls at home remembered the telegram quite well; the other boys did not specially remember it.
