"I DECLARE this is almost like coming into another world, isn't it?" "Yes, and I, for one, am glad to get back. I like a good horse, and no one enjoys a few days' shooting and fishing better than I do; but when I get tired of the saddle and the woods, I like to see the blue water and feel the solid planks of a yacht's deck under my feet once more. We had a good time though, in spite of all our adventures and mishaps." "We certainly did. I am like Perk, who, after he had been down into the Cave of the Winds, under Niagara Falls, said he would do it again for no money, but seeing that he _had_ been down, he would not sell his experience at any price. I couldn't be hired to make that same trip to Fort Bolton again--being "snowed up" was the worst part of it to me--but since it is all over and we are safely out of it, I am glad we went."
