LEARNING TO NAVIGATE 95 



there for our honeymoon. My young brother, who 

 had suffered very much from fever, decided that he 

 would return to London, but I had not the smallest 

 desire to get back to the conventional life of civilisa- 

 tion. So far I had been learning to collect rather 

 than actually collecting. I formed plans for some 

 great inland expeditions, feeling that I had now learned 

 through past mistakes how to win greater successes 

 in the future.
