โWho are you?โ he hailed.
โShipwrecked sailors and passengers of the ship Nantucket,โ was the answer of Mr. Holdfast.
They were taken on board, and discovered that the vessel was the Phocis, from New York, bound for Melbourne.
โWe shall reach our destination after all, then, professor,โ said Harry, โand you will be able to give your entertainments as you at first proposed.โ
Professor Hemenway shook his head.
โI shall take the first steamer home,โ he said. โMy wife will be anxious about me, and even now is in doubt whether I am alive or dead. You can return with me, if you like.โ
โNo,โ answered Harry. โAfter the trouble I have had in getting to Australia, I mean to stay long enough to see what sort of a country it is. I think I can make a living in one way or another, and if I canโt, I will send to America for the money I have there.โ
In due time they reached Melbourne, without further mischance. Harry induced Jack to remain with him, but Mr. Clinton, with a new stock of trousers, purchased in Melbourne, returned to America on the same steamer with the professor.
Here we leave Harry and Jack to pursue their course to such eminence as they may desire from the characteristics they have portrayed in this narrative.
