FRIEND SICKLER:
As I promised to OCCASION
ally inform you of my whereabouts. I will
write you line from this (well l really don't
know whether to call it a town, city, or
portion of the Ishmus) but let Aspinwall
Suffice
According to notice, the Steam Ship Hi
nois, with about eleven hundred passengers,
sailed from foot of Warren Street, On. Y } at
II O'Clock NJ. on Wednesday, Dec. 23rd 1868
After passing Governors, Cooney and Staten
Islands, VIC discharged our pilot, and were
sailing upon the broad Atlantic. The hills Of
New Jersey were soon lost in the distance,
and there was nothing around Us but the deep
blue ocean beneath, and the lowering Heav
ems above.
Our voyage to the Isthmus was very I'm,
pleasant. Most Of the passengers were sea
sick, was not, but got rery sick of the sea-
We had it very rough and stormy nearly the
whole distance and we were so unfortunate
as to procure passage in the Opposition
Line" among officers and crew not SO oblig
ing as we would have wished. They put us
on half ratioDs' most OF the time, and
mighty tough ones at that. To Judge from
the appearance Of things, don't think they
understood their business very well. As near
as We passengers could come at 1t they lost
their reckoning a number of times, had to
stop take soundings, Sc
am now an eX passenger from the Steam
Ship Illinois, which landed at this pert yes
terday noon, just in time for US to get a good
New Years dinner, which we took with our
American consul, Mr.. Rice, at the Hotel Of
Mr.. Hawkins.
The Mail Steamship. Ariel arrived here
this morning. She left York at the same
time the Illinois did, but lear ned from one
OF her passenger that she was run into BY a
Schooner before getting out to sea, and WAS
deIayeda day or two to repair damages. The
IlImols, connects with the America. which
was sent around Cape Horn some two months
ago and arrived at Panama yesterday at 10
O'Clock 4. VI. We expect to be delayed here
several days, as the Mail Steamer and pas
sengers have the first chance in everything
here, we Rave to wait their motions. besides.
the America has to coal up, and make some
few repairs.
