Many men, no doubt, become parents inorder to give 'The Coral Island' to their son. Jack, Ralph, andPeterkin, I salute you, and hope you are all a fond memoryrecalls. Not since my schooldays have I met you, but I knowwhat was in the pockets of the three of you the day you landedon that island better than I know the contents of my ownto-day, and your wondrous cave is more to me than the Strand._"
