1 A JOURNAL OF A VOYAGE AND ANOTHER VOYAGE Wednesday, July 20th. (New York). Nicholas, arrived from Philadelphia with the purpose of seeing us off, certainly may congratulate himself on attaining the purpose. A small host of young men drank the ex- cellent liquor of 42 East 49th Street for three hours with great distinction. When they had become sufficiently mellow, Nicholas made a speech in which he referred to us as the two men whom we may never see again, but whom we hope to see in two years. A tremendous volley of cheers greeted the first observation; and amid the tin- kle of breaking glasses the banquet was altered into a rather disorderly caravan leading to the Grand Central Station and the 9:45 to Montreal. No more speeches were made. Billy Ward presented us with a very handsome tin of tobacco. Then his figure melted into Nicholas', Al Look's, Frank Look's, and Bob Wiley's, as the train departed on time in the frantic manner of an executioner's carriage. Nicholas had presented us with two bottles of cham- pagne, which Hannibal stored away, referring appropriate- ly to the nature of people who smuggled alcoholics from a dry country into the wettist country in the world. We sat up late in the smoking car beaming luxuriously into the night, and biting deep into the meaning of the episode.
