less time than I had estimated, but, looking back over it, I
cannot say just how it all happened. We certainly have been
busy traveling. In ninety days we will have finished what is
estimated to be 5,280 miles, under all sorts of
transport--steam, paddle, sail, and good old North American
foot-work.

"The boys are all safe and sound, bigger and better than
when I took them over, so I don't see what you can say
against your erring brother after this.

"How did the youngsters behave? Well, I'll tell you when I
see you. They were fine, and that's all about it. They send
their love, and so do I, and some or all of us will see you
with the first boat north from Skagway. Rob has a full
diary, and John a good sketch map, so they'll be loaded for
you all right.

"Do I renew my promise never to take them on another trip?
Of course I remember that _promise_, but can I manage to
keep it, now that these chaps are such good travelers? I
don't know. Well, suppose we talk that over when we meet
again?

"From your affectionate brother
"DICK."
