"Through hell with Hiprah Hunt; a series of pictures and notes of travel illustrating the adventures of a modern Dante in the infernal regions; also other pictures of the same subterranean world" (1901)
CANTO LXV. After the annual parade Hiprah Hunt is given a farewell ban-quet at Satans palace on the Styx. As guest of honor he sits at one end of a long table and Satansits at the other. He describes the magnificence of the scene andhis meeting with the members of the Hell Common Council. Charming women from the female department wait on the table. When in response to a toast Mr. Hunt tells the Demons that agreat majority of the civilized world think Hell only a bugaboodream, they are convulsed with laughter. The banquet over, Hiprah Hunt bids farewell to Satan and hiscolleagues. The Arch-Fiend asks him to come again, and promises to do so if he recovers from the exploration justended. Taking an ascending car back to the American entrance heclimbs out into the upper world, through the same wild forest hehad passed six weeks before. Under a star-lit sky he makes hisway home with proofs that Hell really is; that Dante was right, andthat Hiprah Hunt is his legitimate successor.
