The tourists who for many years had been frequenting the upper Mississippi now increased in numbers. In the "Drive of All Visitors" were included the Falls of St. Anthony, Lake Harriet, Minnehaha Falls, and Fort Snelling. From the lookout tower of the fort on the edge of the cliff, could be viewed the same scenery which had charmed Carver a hundred years before.
Her playthings were there still, arranged in her customary orderly fashion along the walls. Rose and Rosette and Minnehaha and the other dolls were seated in their chairs or the doll carriage or with their backs against Shadrach's old sea chest. She had never put them away out of sight.
That evening, in Glasgow, Mr Parmenter bought the Minnehaha, a steel turbine yacht of two thousand tons and twenty-five knots speed, from Mr Hendray Chinnock, a brother millionaire, who had laid her up in the Clyde in consequence of the war the day before.
Mary in the meantime had taken from Kennedy's arms the still sleeping Minnehaha, and almost smothered her with kisses as she bore her away to bed.
Two or three of the girls, too, wore bracelets, strangely marked, and all had curious badges on their right sleeves. "We've got to wash the dishes, now," said Minnehaha, who bore out her name by laughing and smiling most of the time. She had already told Zara that her real name was Margery Burton.

Most unfit for the commencement of a soldier's life were some that I saw there, but I do not doubt that they had been attracted to the work by the one idea of doing something for their country in its trouble. From Fort Snelling we went on to the Falls of Minnehaha. Minnehaha, laughing water. Such, I believe, is the interpretation. The name in this case is more imposing than the fall.
"Seems to me," he remarked, "that you gentlemen have made some sort of a mistake. Where do you think you are, anyway?" "On board Schwann's yacht, the Christabel," Selingman replied. Richard shook his head. "Not a bit of it," he assured them. "This is the steam-yacht, Minnehaha, which brought me over from New York, and of which I am most assuredly the owner.
When he came home empty-handed, heavy-hearted, lo! the spirit of Minnehaha had fled to the Islands of the Blessed. Her body they laid in the snow, In the forest deep and darksome, Underneath the moaning hemlocks.
