RETURN TO WHITE HORSE 247 



"Yes, and several other hunting parties are 

 aboard with him." 



It reminded me of Puck's boast, "I'll put a 

 girdle round about the earth in forty minutes." 

 It seemed strange to know that the man who 

 had helped me to make all the arrangements 

 for my successful trip in the Yukon was right 

 here within talking distance of us, and in a 

 few hours would meet me in Seattle. 



Mr. Potter and his party, together with the 

 other hunters sailing on the Admiral Sansom, 

 had been in the Kenai Peninsula and had been 

 taken on the steamer at Seward, Alaska. As 

 the steamer makes only one trip a month to 

 Seward, it behooved all of the hunters to be 

 "out" in time to meet her. Each hunter had 

 been successful in killing several bull moose 

 and bears, besides a number of white sheep. 



At noon of the day of our arrival we all met 

 at a dinner in a large hotel as the guests of Mr. 

 Potter, and a few of the experiences of each 

 party were rehearsed.
