The
’
Swanhilda
’
is
the
mother
of
the
fleet
,
Pres
.
I
had
to
buy
HER
,
but
the
keel
of
her
sister
ship
will
be
laid
by
the
time
she
discharges
at
Calcutta
.
We
’
ll
carry
our
wheat
into
Asia
yet
.
The
Anglo
-
Saxon
started
from
there
at
the
beginning
of
everything
and
it
’
s
manifest
destiny
that
he
must
circle
the
globe
and
fetch
up
where
he
began
his
march
.
You
are
up
with
procession
,
Pres
,
going
to
India
this
way
in
a
wheat
ship
that
flies
American
colours
.
By
the
way
,
do
you
know
where
the
money
is
to
come
from
to
build
the
sister
ship
of
the
’
Swanhilda
’
?
From
the
sale
of
the
plant
and
scrap
iron
of
the
Atlas
Works
.
Yes
,
I
’
ve
given
it
up
definitely
,
that
business
.
The
people
here
would
not
back
me
up
.
But
I
’
m
working
off
on
this
new
line
now
.
It
may
break
me
,
but
we
’
ll
try
it
on
.
You
know
the
’
Million
Dollar
Fair
’
was
formally
opened
yesterday
.
There
is
,
”
he
added
with
a
wink
,
“
a
Midway
Pleasance
in
connection
with
the
thing
.
Mrs
.
Cedarquist
and
our
friend
Hartrath
’
got
up
a
subscription
’
to
construct
a
figure
of
California
—
heroic
size
—
out
of
dried
apricots
.
I
assure
you
,
”
he
remarked
With
prodigious
gravity
,
“
it
is
a
real
work
of
art
and
quite
a
’
feature
’
of
the
Fair
.
Well
,
good
luck
to
you
,
Pres
.
Write
to
me
from
Honolulu
,
and
bon
voyage
.
My
respects
to
the
hungry
Hindoo
.
Tell
him
’
we
’
re
coming
,
Father
Abraham
,
a
hundred
thousand
more
.
’
Tell
the
men
of
the
East
to
look
out
for
the
men
of
the
West
.
The
irrepressible
Yank
is
knocking
at
the
doors
of
their
temples
and
he
will
want
to
sell
’
em
carpet
-
sweepers
for
their
harems
and
electric
light
plants
for
their
temple
shrines
.
Good
-
bye
to
you
.
”
“
Good
-
bye
,
sir
.
”
“
Get
fat
yourself
while
you
’
re
about
it
,
Presley
,
”
he
observed
,
as
the
two
stood
up
and
shook
hands
.
“
There
shouldn
’
t
be
any
lack
of
food
on
a
wheat
ship
.
Bread
enough
,
surely
.
”
“
Little
monotonous
,
though
.
’
Man
cannot
live
by
bread
alone
.
’
Well
,
you
’
re
really
off
.
Good
-
bye
.
”
“
Good
-
bye
,
sir
.
”
And
as
Presley
issued
from
the
building
and
stepped
out
into
the
street
,
he
was
abruptly
aware
of
a
great
wagon
shrouded
in
white
cloth
,
inside
of
which
a
bass
drum
was
being
furiously
beaten
.
On
the
cloth
,
in
great
letters
,
were
the
words
:
“
Vote
for
Lyman
Derrick
,
Regular
Republican
Nominee
for
Governor
of
California
.
