she received letter from her mother begging
her to return home, and inclosug money topiv
her passage. With this she bought mens
clothes and obtained a situation as second ste"

on this vessel two or three months, aud then
thought she would like to 60 to Engsud, aud
that she might as we'll work her passage

situation on board the Strathdon. clipper FhIp
plying between Sidney and London. The new

became a tavorito with the ships COMPANY
When the vessel had been out about forty days
