THE END OF MY TOUR 



Mount Everett, which rises nearly eight thousand 

 feet above sea-level, towered on the right of our track. 

 Randall pointed out the place where Everett, one of the 

 early explorers, after whom it is named, was discovered. 

 He had got lost near the Yellowstone Lake, and after 

 many narrow escapes was found on the mountain almost 

 at the last gasp. On the same mountain you can also see 

 a kind of breastwork of stones which was put up by the 

 Red Indians when they were resisting the advance of 

 General Harvey's troops, many of whom they killed. 



With our return to Mammoth Hot Springs my tour 

 through the Yellowstone Park ended. We went straight 

 back to Gardener, where I was very glad of a rest in 

 Dick Randall's cosy little home. After so many nights 

 in the open, with the worry of bears to keep one on the 

 alert, a sleep in a real bed seemed a wonderful luxury.
