The passengers on board the steam snip |
Idaho, and presume it is much the same
ON all the ocean steamers, are separated !
into three classes saloon, intermediate, and
storage. Each class has a part OF the ship
to itseif-steerage the fore Part, and saloon
passengers the hind part, the intermediate
between. The ship furnishes cooked food
for all, and beds Tor the saloon and INFERNO
diaie. Storage passengers find their own
beds and eating utensils straw mattress
tin plate, basin, cup, &c, all OF which can
be bought at New York or Liverpool on the
dock or near by, for very few dollars The
price OF steerage passage is so; intermeai-
ate, So; and saloon, from SO to : 100, ac-
cording to the size and furnishing OF rooms.
Servants are provided by the company who
are closely attentive to all the wants Ul the
saloon passengers, at least. We have ten
saloon passengers, only. On some ;rlP',and
in more favorable seasons Of the year, the
number is much larger. The captain says
he can accommodate a thousand. Fresh
food is provided and Of the very best quality
Meats, Of all kinds which the market
affords. are kept in ice, and fruits, nnts, etc.
/ abound.
The captain, surgeon and pur,eT occupy
the saloon, and sit at table with rs. None
Others are ever seen in the saloon except
saloon servants, and at divine service on
Sunday, when all who Will are invited to
attend.
We are now nearing te end of our voy-
age to Liverpool. and it is pleasure to bear
testimony to the excellence Of all the Of
Gcers and servants Of the ship, with whom
have had anything to DO. Capt. Beldoc
is an EngliShman, trained to the sea from
his boyhool, and withal perfect Chris
tian gentleman. No coarsoness or proiane-
ness is heard in his presence | listened
