city, embarked at thc same time, to join
in the festivities of that occasion, and to
some Of them, more especially our friend
Clay, the adventure was full Of
-"loyng incidents by food and fold,
Of hair breadth 'scapcs,
And eminent peril in the deadly bunk"
but all came out Of it in safety, aud, we
venture to say, if they live thousand
years, not one Of the excursionists viii
ever forget the "jolly good time" expert
enced.
At II NJ. the lines were cast off, aud
the good ship steamed down the river to
the tune Of

A little while 90 stayo
At u Z. NJ, landed at Bay City,
where We lay for about an hour and
half ''to wood" which time was improved
by the band in serenading the good
people Of that place very generally. At
3 p. NJ, we were off again, and having
passed the City of Bangor on the left
bank, the light house, and various other
objects Of interest, were soon on the Bay,
though we did not get cover the bay"
until about II p. NJ, when we passed
the Point all Barques light-wind east
crly, very lght-wcather fine. At Bay
City we had received large addition to
our party, among whom were Mr.. JAMES
FRASER and family, and JAS. w. WATSON
and sisters, so that our company,
though not large, was respectable in
point of numbers as compared with the
slim crowd (slim in numerical sense
who got on board at East Saginaw
No incident worthy of note occurred
during the night save the passage of a
large feet Of sail craft, for whose benefit
the watch on deck played some very
pretty airs on the steam whistle, but
elected no response.
At daylight we were in sight Of LAND
on the Canada shore, and as we ncaret
the lofty town Of Goderich, from hilltop
tower and turret the proud flag of Eng
land, that " has braved thousand years
the battle and the breeze" was seer
streaming in the wind, while the vessel
in port were gaily decorated with
brilliant display of colors. Ensigns, jack:
bergees, remnants and signal flags nut
tered about like birds Of rare and COZ
geous pumage, and as the SciotG steame
CALAMITY into the harbor with the eros
Of st. George at herpeak, the Stars an,
Stripes proudly waving at her topmas

ating even to live Yankee. The Ban
struck up Good Save the Queen and q
