although undoubtedly very nice spot in
pleasant summer weather, was not especially
lively when .enveloped for over two days in
thick fog The fact is, the weather has been
miserable, bat the excursionists have all shown
good pluck. There has been some little ex-
preston of disgust at the unfortunate COM
bination of circumstances on the part of
few, and a desire TO have Tom Di5din and a
few other Of those old posts, who wrote a lot of
trashy, lying songs about the charms of the sea-
within their reach for about five minutes, but
as soon as these dangerous symptoms appear
ed, the feet surgeon promptly took their cases
in hand, and it was astonishing to see the eff
feet produced by his doses of quinine. From
the most low-spirited of mortals they became
cheerful. and joined with will in the chorus
of I" Vive Ia Conpagnie p

you could have cut it with kufe. All the
