BEVERLEY SANDS TO BEN DOOLITTLE
October 30.
DEAR BEN:
They are gone! They're off! They have weighed anchor! They have sailed; they have departed!
I went down and watched the steamer out of sight. Packed around me at the end of the pier were people, waving hats and handkerchiefs, some laughing, some with tears on their cheeks, some with farewells quivering on their dumb mouths. But everybody forgot his joy or his trouble to look at me: I out-waved, out-shouted them all. An old New York Harbour gull, which is the last creature in the world to be surprised at anything, flew up and glanced at me with a jaded eye.
