54 TWENTY YEARS AGO 



w 



here, as requested by telegram, my things 

 and servant were all ready, and at half-past 

 six I was duly present on parade. 



Afterwards I went back to the ship to get 

 my luggage, and above all my heads, which 

 hang on the wall opposite me as I write. 

 Of the bison I think I have every reason to 

 be proud, for the horns are no less than 

 thirty-two inches across the span (outside 

 measurement), and each measures nine-and- 

 twenty inches long, being sixteen and a half 

 inches in circumference at the largest part.
