cd since we sailed from New Ncrf saifice
IL 70 say concerning our voyage that Ii vas
cloudy all The way, and very smooth, except
q day and half which were very rough
especially on me. Ofthe whole party only
two were sick-of course had to be one
But sesamblod upon deck al the time, as
the state GEMS end the downstairs atmos-
pherc would have been enough 60 affect q
well person, mach more one inclined to sea-
sickness. Seasickness IS IN rs hghtest form
utter misery. when tie ir'sn
coast came in sight the excitement on board
was Intense The sight of a bit OF land in
the far distance had wonderfully exhilara-

were cured as by magic; and mary who had
not emerged from their staterooms before du

mcnt Of landing. We had beautiful views
of the Irish coast and concluded that ITS
finely cultivated farms. clean, white tarm
houses ample crops and evident prosperity
were totally Incompatible with any such tg-
mult. disorder and murdeTous riot as were
reDolfed OF much Of ireland. Here, at least,
we said landlords and tenants understood
each othor and mutual sympathy and regard
insured The prosperity so clear before o1r
ewes. Next day we Say in Cork paper that
