The expectations of those who started in the ill-fated rush were wildly higL The failure of those hopes was absolute and complete. Mr Sinnett strongly suspects that most of the 300 who returned -with him were mingling, with calculations of what they had lost, self-reproaches for their folly in having come, and the scarcely less annoying anticipations of the ridiculous figure they would cut ...as prodigals returning amid the merriment of their good-natured friends.
