The Survivor

<p>Hyram and Lisbeth have been living in San Francisco since it was called Yerba Buena. They have been here long enough to meet some strange and sometimes desperate folks. Hyram likes telling their stories. He hopes you will like reading them. The tales are short enough to read while waiting for your horse-drawn streetcar. The first one is about a starving boy who turned up one morning looking for work.</p>
