'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.’
