In their departure from Bombay, Frank and Fred have left the Far East
behind them; but, as they are yet a long way from home, they can hardly
be said to have finished their travels. It is quite possible that they
may be heard from again, in the company of their good friend, the
Doctor, and may allow us, as they have heretofore, to glance at their
letters to friends at home.
