Tommy turned darker as he grew older. At the time of his death he was yellow rather than white. If he had lived to be old he would, no doubt, have become black, like his mother.
And now, young friends, for the present I have done. I have told you many things about Africa, about its strange animals, its terrible gorillas, its savage cannibals. And all that I have told you is true; for it is what I have seen with my own eyes.
But I have not told you all that I saw and heard in that far-distant country. I have many more singular sights to describe and queer adventures to recount to you.
So I will not bid you farewell: I will say to you "Au revoir!" That means "Good-bye till I come again."
THE END.
Gilbert and Rivington, Ld., St. John's House, Clerkenwell Road, London.
