nything very bad,
and we shall see no icebergs. The early summer is the worst time for
them, for the warm currents have loosened them from the icefields in the
north, and they float southwards. The voyage is uneventful, and,
seasoned sailors as we are, we never miss a meal during the week that it
takes to cross before we sight the chimneys and wharves of grimy
Liverpool.

As we step on to British soil once more, on the wharf we turn and look
at each other.

Has it come up to expectation? You are not sorry you went with me?

As for me, I have never had a pleasanter companion and never wish for
one. Hullo! here are your people, ready to carry you off, rejoiced to
find you safe and sound after not having seen you for nearly a year,
during which time you have spanned the world and travelled somewhere
about twenty-five thousand miles.

Good-bye!
