# Page 34: Story Prose from "The South Sea Island Number" This page contains printed story prose in two columns. The text depicts a conversation between characters named Kavanagh and Bruch, apparently set in a tropical hotel. Kavanagh expresses his intention to search inland for someone named John Maxwell, whom he believes can be reconciled with a woman. Bruch discourages this plan, warning against interfering in another man's life. The dialogue references orchid hunting, gambling, and mentions a character named Maxwell who allegedly experimented with poisonous orchids. The passage appears part of an adventure or mystery narrative set in an exotic colonial location.
