Several couples tried to dance but found that
the sickness of the decks, caused by the pitch
boiling during the day from the effects of our
hot and tropical sun, initiated considerably
against tripping the light fantastic.
A little practical joking was participated in by
some of the gentleman whose business habits
and mature years would lead one to bel ieye that
they had long since forgotten the joyon3 times
of their youth. There was one poor unfortunate
who had lost his hat aud was told it had been
taken by "a man three times his size SD that his
chances of obtaining it in a 'fair and square,
were doubtful. Then the steward raised u cry
that his spoons had been stolen, aud this in the
very face of those whose duty it Is to prevent
stealing or smu 5sling-yet all was well, for tIey
were found in the somewhat numerous pockets
of one who was not the least interested Ia the
ship and her belongings, but his friends will ask
him for many n day who stole the spoons )"
1t was feared that the supply of ice would run
short for as dish after dish was brou sht it van
ished not into space but into the spacious coat
tail peck It's If those arrayed in bftck. Sharp
were the eXclainations- when a man, catching
hold of his c)at tails prior to sitting down, also
caught hold of Il lump of ice; both loud and
long were til mItterel imprecLtious of the man
the ice. 1t was only finn AMI all felt young
again. Tue ladies too were not behindhand in
their merriment, especially in one corner of the
saloon but nothing shall be said of their tricks
or of some of their sayings that were both witty
and clever. They are privileged. Everybody
was happy, even the poor newspaper man who
forgot for the time that he would have no rest on
Sunday and could not sleep it of, as everything
must be written up for Monday.

and gentlemen were particularly striking, every
