230 The Francis A. Drexel Family 
And next to Seattle 
Where they met many friends 
And heard little ones prattle. 
Their kind hostess at Portland 
They must ever remember, 
Who dined the whole party 
The last of September. 
Much pleasure they've had 
And the time has most come 
When the party disbands 
Each goes to his home. 
But long will they think 
Of the days that have gone 
On the Northern Pacific 
Not forgetting their John 
When they part, let us hope 
They will soon meet again 
On Atlantic's great slope 
And the friendship 
That on the Pacific began 
Grow stronger and warmer with Time.—
