HOMEWARD BOUND 



car that was ours on the railroad journey back 

 to Cordova was a delight and a luxury to us all, 

 and we shall always remember Mr. Corser's lib- 

 erality and kindness in tendering us the use of it 

 with the most pleasant thoughts. 



While waiting for the boat at the Windsor 

 Hotel, Cordova, Alaska, I was presented with a 

 card bearing this inscription: 



THEODORE R. HUBBACK, 

 Pertang, Jelebu, Fed. Malay States, 

 Via Singapore. 



Mr. Hubback was on his way, in the company 

 of a friend, Mr. Keeler, to Kenai Peninsula for 

 moose and sheep. Having killed rhino, hippo, 

 elephant, saladang and about all the smaller 

 kinds of game found in his country and there- 

 abouts, he now came to the United States on a 

 trip consuming two months from Singapore to 

 kill moose. He was a sportsman thru and thru, 

 and since then I have received correspondence 

 telling of his great success on the peninsula, 

 where he secured beautiful specimens of moose 

 and sheep, and some wonderful photographs of 

 wild bears. He is the author of a couple of 

 interesting books on the subject of hunting big 

 game in his country. 



After a long delay at Cordova waiting for our 

 boat, we finally boarded it for the journey home, 

 a very pleasant one, both by boat and train. We 

 arrived in Denver on October 4th at 7:45 p. m., 

 after an absence from home of sixty-nine days.
