Chapter XXXIX: Epilogue

_My brother “Savages” have induced me to look up my diaries and publish this book._

_If it proves an infliction, the blame is theirs._

_It has afforded me an opportunity to record gratefully the many kindnesses I have received during my travels—more especially the genial hospitality of the “Savage Club.”_

_One of the infirmities of age is garrulity. I have endeavoured to avoid it._

_One word more to my reader—ADIEU!_

_J.J._
