"Passed Assistant Surgeon Charles Guillou relaxed his ceremonial stance as the lines of marines broke ranks. He thought of his first landing on the west coast, from a crowded canoe. This time his uniforms were immaculate, his purse full, his boxes of oriental treasures in the hold, and he had the respect of his commodore and his captain. He was five years older and more than five years wiser."
