the meetings, and securing seat close
to the stand, by his quiet demeanor and
seeming interest in the proceeding, at

Gently converted. At the close Of the
discourse the fresh water navigator was
approached by the enthusiast, and ad-
dressed: "My friend, do you feel pre-
pared to embark upon the journey 'to
