t his
will, by command of his wife, and took to miscellaneous work, of which
there was plenty for an active man in a seaport like Grayton. His
rudder, poor man, was again (and this time permanently) lashed
amidships, and whatever breeze Mrs Buzzby chanced to blow, his business
was to sail _right before it_. The two little Buzzbys were the joy of
their father's heart. They were genuine little true-blues, both of
them, and went to sea the moment their legs were long enough, and came
home, voyage after voyage, with gifts of curiosities and gifts of money
to their worthy parents.

Dumps resided during the remainder of his days with Captain Ellice, and
Poker dwelt with Buzzby. These truly remarkable dogs kept up their
attachment to each other to the end. Indeed, as time passed by, they
drew closer and closer together, for Poker became more sedate, and,
consequently, a more suitable companion for his ancient friend. The
dogs formed a connecting-link between the Buzzby and Ellice families--
constantly reminding each of the other's existence, by the daily
interchange of visits.

Fred and Tom soon came to be known as skilful doctors. Together they
went through life respected by all who knew them--each year as it passed
cementing closer and closer that undying friendship which had first
started into being in the gay season of boyhood, and had bloomed and
ripened amid the adventures, dangers, and vicissitudes of the World of
Ice.
