When he reached Washington, he called on the Postmaster General, who ordered a harness to take the place of his overloaded collar. After some fur- ther traveling he went to San Francisco, where he was awarded a medal and fitted out with a regular traveling bag, in which to carry his blanket, comb and brush, harness and credentials. Thus duly equipped, he took passage on the steam- ship Victoria, as the guest of Captain Panton.
