Adventures and Letters

CHAPTER X
10/79

Now do cheer up and believe in the luck of Richard Harding Davis and the British Army.

We have carte blanche from The Journal to buy or lease any boat on the coast and I rocked them for $1000 in advance payment because of the delay over the Vamoose.
I am so happy at thinking I am going, I could not have faced anyone had I not, although we had nothing to do with the failure, we tried to cross fairly in the damn tub and it was her captain who put back.

I lay out on the deck and cried when he refused to go ahead, we had waited so long.

The Cubans and Remington and Michelson had put on all their riding things but fortunately I had not and so was spared that humiliation.

What I don't know about the Fine Art of Filibustering now is unnecessary.
