his fathers ship TO visit his mother. He is hand
some young fellow, and General Rocker says he

Al halipast six O'Clock, after collation. at the
superintendent house, the party drove down to
the waters edge, where they were taken across

past seven the princes took their departure, and
parting cheer was given them by their friends as
the train left The station.
