enjoying the benefit OF morning saltwater
bath. The morning passed away very quietly,
the respect due to the day being strictly
observed by those on board the yachts. Shortly
after ten A. NJ. the deep and solemn tones Of the
bell on the camp meeting ground rolled across the
bay, calling tho faithful to their devotions. The
impOsing-loOking dome surm0 uniting the building
