That part of the world
is a cauldron of conflicting intrigue
and one or other interests concerned probably knew that Mr Gareth
Jones knew too much of what was going on
He had a passion for
finding out what was happening
in foreign lands wherever there was trouble, and in pursuit of his investigations he shrank from no
risk.
I had always been afraid that he would take one risk too many.
Nothing escaped his observation, and he allowed no obstacle to turn from his course when he thought that there was some fact, which he could
obtain.
He had the almost
unfailing knack of getting at things
that mattered.
