women and children lay asleep fiat on the pier,
ranged In long rows with walking ways be-
tween, others were stretched out upon bales
and boxes OF merchandise and In three or four
places men sat in groups Of five or six, talking
In subdued tones. Only the glare Of camp
fires, a little rural1ty and the stormy sky over

Captain Mayne Reid. The Mennonites come
from the neighborhood OF odessa and represent
