In the lower part of
the picture you see a man in an Eskimo canoe. He is going to hunt seals
and small whales.
11. Now I must bring this long letter to a close. I shall write you one
more before I start for home. I am eager to see you all again.--Your
loving FATHER.

28. FATHER'S LAST LETTER.
1. MY DEAR CHILDREN,--This is the last letter which I shall write to you
from abroad. I hope to sail for home in a week's time. I shall send you
a telegram to tell you when I shall arrive. You must all come to the
station to meet me.
2. Look at the globe and find North America. The northern half is called
Canada, and the southern half is called the United States. I am now in
New York, the largest city of the United States.
3. The people of the United States speak English. The forefathers of
many of them came from our islands. But the United States do not belong
to Britain. Their flag is not the Union Jack, but the Stars and Stripes.
4. This morning at breakfast a black man waited upon me. His skin was
very dark, his lips were thick, and his hair was short and curly.
