The
boys
'
eyes
ranged
along
from
the
teeth
and
from
hand
to
hand
,
down
through
the
pebbles
and
sand-grains
to
Edwin
's
fingers
.
And
back
again
they
ranged
along
the
ascending
series
in
the
effort
to
grasp
such
inconceivable
numbers
.
"
That
was
a
lot
of
folks
,
Granser
,
"
Edwin
at
last
hazarded
.
"
Like
sand
on
the
beach
here
,
like
sand
on
the
beach
,
each
grain
of
sand
a
man
,
or
woman
,
or
child
.
Yes
,
my
boy
,
all
those
people
lived
right
here
in
San
Francisco
.
And
at
one
time
or
another
all
those
people
came
out
on
this
very
beach
--
more
people
than
there
are
grains
of
sand
.
More
--
more
--
more
.
And
San
Francisco
was
a
noble
city
.
And
across
the
bay
--
where
we
camped
last
year
,
even
more
people
lived
,
clear
from
Point
Richmond
,
on
the
level
ground
and
on
the
hills
,
all
the
way
around
to
San
Leandro
--
one
great
city
of
seven
million
people
.
--
Seven
teeth
...
there
,
that
's
it
,
seven
millions
.
"
Again
the
boys
'
eyes
ranged
up
and
down
from
Edwin
's
fingers
to
the
teeth
on
the
log
.
"
The
world
was
full
of
people
.
The
census
of
2010
gave
eight
billions
for
the
whole
world
--
eight
crab-shells
,
yes
,
eight
billions
.
It
was
not
like
to-day
.
Mankind
knew
a
great
deal
more
about
getting
food
.
And
the
more
food
there
was
,
the
more
people
there
were
.
In
the
year
1800
,
there
were
one
hundred
and
seventy
millions
in
Europe
alone
.
One
hundred
years
later
--
a
grain
of
sand
,
Hoo-Hoo
--
one
hundred
years
later
,
at
1900
,
there
were
five
hundred
millions
in
Europe
--
five
grains
of
sand
,
Hoo-Hoo
,
and
this
one
tooth
.
This
shows
how
easy
was
the
getting
of
food
,
and
how
men
increased
.
And
in
the
year
2000
there
were
fifteen
hundred
millions
in
Europe
.
And
it
was
the
same
all
over
the
rest
of
the
world
.
Eight
crab-shells
there
,
yes
,
eight
billion
people
were
alive
on
the
earth
when
the
Scarlet
Death
began
.
"
I
was
a
young
man
when
the
Plague
came
--
twenty-seven
years
old
;
and
I
lived
on
the
other
side
of
San
Francisco
Bay
,
in
Berkeley
.
You
remember
those
great
stone
houses
,
Edwin
,
when
we
came
down
the
hills
from
Contra
Costa
?
That
was
where
I
lived
,
in
those
stone
houses
.
I
was
a
professor
of
English
literature
.
"
Much
of
this
was
over
the
heads
of
the
boys
,
but
they
strove
to
comprehend
dimly
this
tale
of
the
past
.
"
What
was
them
stone
houses
for
?
"
Hare-Lip
queried
.
"
You
remember
when
your
dad
taught
you
to
swim
?
"
The
boy
nodded
.
"
Well
,
in
the
University
of
California
--
that
is
the
name
we
had
for
the
houses
--
we
taught
young
men
and
women
how
to
think
,
just
as
I
have
taught
you
now
,
by
sand
and
pebbles
and
shells
,
to
know
how
many
people
lived
in
those
days
.
There
was
very
much
to
teach
.
The
young
men
and
women
we
taught
were
called
students
.
We
had
large
rooms
in
which
we
taught
.
I
talked
to
them
,
forty
or
fifty
at
a
time
,
just
as
I
am
talking
to
you
now
.
I
told
them
about
the
books
other
men
had
written
before
their
time
,
and
even
,
sometimes
,
in
their
time
