THE ROYAL WELCOME 65 



The account would be incomplete, though, were reference 

 omitted to the royal welcome that awaited us at Rockland. 

 Upon landing we found the church bells ringing, and the city's 

 business for the moment stopped, while the city fathers as well 

 as a goodly number of her sons and daughters greeted us at 

 the wharf. In the evening there was another reception, and 

 there the expedition as such appeared for the last time, and as 

 the most fitting way in which we could express our gratitude 

 at the interest shown in our work and safe return, as well as to 

 contribute our share towards the evening's entertainment, the 

 Bowdoin College Labrador Expedition Glee Club rendered, as 

 its last selection, a popular college song, of which the burden 

 was, as also the title, "The wild man of Borneo has just come 

 to town."
