15/73 I was going round for the third time when the wrecking of the steamer had interrupted my trip. I am not in any way a vain man. I would no sooner begin, "When I was in the Himalayas hunting the humpo or humped buffalo," than she would interrupt and say, "Oh, Harold, would you mind going down to the billiard-room and seeing if I left my cigarettes under the billiard-table ?" When I returned, she was gone. On my completion of my third voyage we were to meet in New Orleans. |
