"That is a great deal of money," he said.
"Yes, it is. All my relations are rich; that is, except one uncle, who probably is not worth over twenty thousand dollars."
Tom was impressed. A man who could talk of such a sum in such terms must certainly be very rich.
"Do you know, Mr. Graham," he inquired, "how soon the steamer will start after we reach Pittsburg?"
"No; but I can find out after we reach there."
On arriving at Pittsburg, inquiry was made, and it was ascertained that the steamer River Belle would leave at nine o'clock the following morning.
"We shall have to go to a hotel," said Graham.
"Is there any cheap hotel here?" asked Tom prudently.
"Yes; there is the Pittsburg House. Suppose we both go there."
"All right."
