He could neither talk nor understand English, neither was he conversant with the system of making signs, but Frank Maginn took him in hand, and to those who know Frank this means much. Frank and the young man started in search of some one to talk with. Many was the joke he played upon our citizens, but at last they found some one who understood Russian and the Swede in:ormed him that he wished to go to Mackinaw where he has a brother iving.
