Sufficient to remark that the
young millionaire had a great time at the City of the Golden Gate,
and Uncle Ezra and his friends enjoyed it with him. Grit, also,
came in for a share of attention.
Dick Hamilton left his airship with the San Francisco army officers,
as he had agreed to do, for they wanted to study its construction.
In due season, the party started back East.
"I rather calculated you'd go back in the airship," said Uncle Ezra.
"Railroad fare is terrible expensive, and I've lost so much money
already--"
"I'll buy your ticket," said Dick generously, "especially as you
helped me win the race," and Mr. Larabee, with a look of relief on
his face, put back his pocketbook.
"And now for Hamilton Corners!" exclaimed Dick, as they got in the
train. "I've had enough of airships for a while, though it was
great sport." And here we will take leave of Dick Hamilton and his
friends.
