"No," said Will, "we are safe on that score."
The Doctor and Will now ascended to the observatory. Professor Gray and Denison sat beside the ladies upon the balcony. Each was studying the topography of the country with the aid of their field glasses.
"See the people everywhere and all waving their handkerchiefs at us," exclaimed Mattie.
"How distinctly we can see their white upturned faces, and how they do shout," remarked Mrs. Jones.
"I can see photographers catching snap shots at us," said Denison.
"I dare say that the telegraph and telephone wires are being kept busy over us," said Fred, who had just joined the group.
"Not a doubt of it," answered the Professor, "not only in America, but all over Christendom."
Dr. Jones and Will now returned from their aerie, the observatory.
"Whew!" exclaimed the Doctor; "if that isn't exercise for you!"
"What is the temperature now?" asked the Professor.
