A vermonter's Trip Around the World.
LEAVES FROM DR. THAYERs JoUESAL- TIE
VOYAGE FROM INDIA TO EGYPT.
| AEABIlx SEA, STEAMSHIP CATHAY,
April 4, 1879
This is our fifth day at sea from Bombay.
We continue to be favored with pleasant
weather and a smooth sea We have seen
but one steamship and one sailing vessel
since we left Bombay. The sailing vessel
was in our path yesterday She was a low,
rakish looking craft, under full sail, with Il
piece Of red bunting flying at her stern, and
as We passed her some one on board waved a
that she was SLAYER plying between Africa
and Arabia, and that vessels in that service
are frequently met with on these seas. About
two years ago Il merchant vessel ON her way
to Bombay with crew Of sailors fond of
adventure came across one of these piraiical
savcrs, ran for her and seized the ship. They
took it into port. The vessel was conliscat-
ed, and the slaves set at liberty.
| II is not an uncommon occurrence for YES
sells Ia hc driven ON the Arabian shore from
these waters inscvcre storms, whenthe sailors
have poor chance of life There are wall
dering tribes Of Arabs that infest these shores,
in constant watch for some disaster
at sea, or for some travelling caravan that
! will give them promise of booty. Two wears
ago a vessel laden with rich merchandise
| from India was during a stormy night
alured by false lights into the meshes of
| these hrigands, and every sailor on board was
murdered, the carro seized and taken into
the country and tbr shin burned I,st v,,r
a vessel was cast ON shore in a ,ole nearly.
abreast of us: the sailors cscancd with thcir
lives. the ship and cargo fell into the hands
of these land pirates
