After lunch the men had to start quickly, as we had dawdled so, and so we turned to go back to the house.
The results of the experiments were communicated to him from time to time, and were regarded by him as exceedingly satisfactory. It would appear, however, that while Mr. Fairbairn urged the rigidity and strength of the tubes without the aid of chains, Mr. Stephenson had not quite made up his mind upon the point. Mr. Hodgkinson, also, was strongly inclined to retain them. Mr.

But who is this? An old friend, I verily believe!" "Yea, and a trusty one, friend Brinsmead," said a person who at that moment confronted Will, and took him cordially by the hand. "But what can have brought you into this hurly-burly of folly and wickedness?" "And what has brought you into the midst of the same hurly-burly, Job Hodgkinson?" asked Will.

Hodgkinson, who had already seen considerable experience as an explorer, having been one of the members of the Burke and Wills party, and also a member of M'Kinlay's expedition when he traversed the continent. The second in charge was a mining surveyor and mineralogist, Mr. E. A. Kayzer.
Old Hodgkinson died that was a matter of no great consequence to any body but he died without a will, and that was a matter of some importance to his daughter.
