weather was charming and we made TWO OF three
excursions one 10 head quarters and one to Sepas
sopoI' sly husband made several inquiries Tor
,piscle a. tho ride on horse back wonid nave pceh
Too fstigung for me. He met a young English
officer one day 1T head quarters. aud Expressed
his surprise TO him that there were no carriages 10
hahrxl at Kainicsch or Bslaclaya. Oh, said the
officer, every lady rides on horse back. But, re-
;oined NV husband there are ladies here, Captains
rho bring their wives with ,he,n,) who would like
: 10 hire convcyauees. All said the officer in
COMMUNICATING tone, those sort Of people could not
sfford 10 hire them If they could be procured -
Notwithsta ndiay. we found that by paying SIS,
conveyance could be had TO carry us to Sebastopo'
We therefore started pleasant morning,
about looclock. in sort Of farm wagon, without
springs, and having sides that soped outwarjs.-
They put i'm TIVE wooden boxes for seats, covered
with blankets house cloths and old rugs, which
soon found TO my misery were infested with fieas
",
finally imported to my state room We had two
miserable horses, one larger than the other, and
Pole for the driver; and from the specimen we had
OF his sSi should think he had handled the rcips
for tho first time that day. His knowledge of Ian
guage was confined to his mother tououe so tina.
~e had no means Of communication until we en-
saged another Pole who spoke a little French as
