THREE busy days in London, and it was all over but the voyage home. Billy and the crew and John and Mr. Morton had left by different routes the evening after the race, so only Mr. Dwight was on hand to wave the girls off at their boat-train. They were all tired from trying to see too much and shop too hard just at the last, and Babe was of course forlorn with only a long steamer letter to console her for John’s absence. So nobody minded lying about on deck for the first day or two, and after that a real storm added a sad chapter to the girls’ seagoing experiences, keeping all but the dauntless Babbie close in their berths for the rest of the voyage.
