During the two-months' voyage a fellow passenger found out that I was the Indian delegate to the Boston congress. "Swami Yogananda," he said, with the first of many quaint pronunciations by which I was later to hear my name spoken by the Americans, "please favor the passengers with a lecture next Thursday night. I think we would all benefit by a talk on 'The Battle of Life and How to Fight It."
And once more the canoe made for the north, with Quonab in the stern and Skookum in the bow. In less than a week they were home, and none too soon; for already the trees were bare, and they had to break the ice on the river before they ended their trip. Rolf had gathered many ideas the last two-months. He did not propose to continue all his life as a trapper. He wanted to see New York.
He thought of taking a voyage round the world; he thought of getting into politics; he even thought as young men full of life sometimes will of death. What he finally did, with native good sense, was to make a two-months' trip in the mountainous region to the westward, to change the scene and his state of mind, and to get what artists call a fresh eye.

And it seems that the people on these two are so totally different " "We couldn't get an answer?" "Very unlikely. Besides, I am having the cube refitted for a two-months' cruise.
It was, I think, somewhat less than a month after this for we were detained in prison altogether about two-months after sentence till a sufficient number had accumulated for transportation that we, meaning myself and those in the ward in which I was confined, were favoured with a new companion.
But he bought a team, wagon, and harness with the money, and he had enough left over for a two-months' grubstake and plenty of Durham and papers and a few magazines. That left him just enough silver to pay Rattler's bill at the livery stable. Nothing startling, but still not bad that wolf-den find.
"I'm glad Beatrice was not with me," she said, sweetly, "for like all heartless flirts she is jealous ashamed of Steve half of the time and mad about him the other half. I'd try to have the business all transacted at the office. You used to. And Beatrice says business isn't half as brisk as it was then." The upshot of the matter resulted in Mary's applying for a two-months' leave of absence.
In their project for supplying this deficiency, John and Martha Yeardley found the parents and other Friends ready to second their efforts; and at the Two-months' Meeting in the Eleventh Month, it was resolved to establish in the first place a school for girls only at Nismes, and a committee was appointed to carry this resolution into effect.
Somehow, in the beauty of the Mudros night, I felt a spring of new hope in our campaign. We would win in the end. And with this re-born confidence went nobler resolutions for myself. To-morrow I would resume moral effort. To-morrow I would begin again. The story of our two-months' delay at Mudros is largely the story of Monty's eccentricities.
They attended on the 2nd of the Seventh Month the Two-months' Meeting, at Minden. Many peasants were present in the meeting for worship, and on John and Martha Yeardley's return to Pyrmont, some of them came to the meeting there on First-day, and begged the Friends to go to Vlotho to meet a company of their brethren.
