I'VE sailed" said the captain" that Is, my
wife, two children and the cat, besides the crew
in the bark Minnie Allen, from this port for Sydney

charged our cargo. and then went to Ioilo another
port In the Philippine Islands. There we took in
cargo Of sugar tor New-fOrk At midnight Oh Sep
tember ~ our vessel III ystcTieusly took lire. After
fighting the flames for six hours we slipped the
cables. run the vessel close to shore aud scuttlod
her. She was a total loss. We went ashore and re-
manned about three weeks ; then we all, Including
the cat, which my youngest child would not leave,
went to Hong Kong on the steamer AMETHYST.
We stayed there about a month. In November Sc
cured passage for myself and family land the cat

when we we're picked up by tho British steamer
City of Cambridge, which took us to London. At
London we took passage on the Egyptian Monarch

ATLANTIC City Cor Baltimore SUM-
A wealthy landowner here a few seasons
back conceived the idea that the then pre-
valent style OF bath house Ii. e., dressing
houses was barbarous. and that if some
thing comfortable and convenient were
provided the public would appreciate it and
patroniZe the enterprise literally. Before
the protector finis he'd it he added so many
improvements that his investment absorbed
some $4,000 Finished, it stood a model of
beauty consisting of reception room, register
and safes for valuables of bathers, shower
baths, q welI-furnished reading room for
ladies', smoking and card-rooms for gentle
men, and spacious disrobing rooms, with
Punishment noticeably perfect III detail.
All this was erected right down at the
waters edge, where any spring storm might
destroy it in its wild embrace.
The old fogics smiled shook their heads
like balky horse, AMI il they didn't say the
investor was crazy, they looked as though
they thought he wasn't right Prior to this
the average bath-house was about as crude
a thing "a could imagine. Since then
the Eath-house settlement of Atlantic City
Is thing of beauty, comfort and convent
ence. The noticeable particular, however,
is tho immense red umbrella used at this
establishment In front of the building a
buwark has been erected to stay the raw
ages of tho surf, which at high tide reaches
close to tho building. This has been filed
in with fine white beach sand, and here
during all hours of the day (but particularly
bathing time) fifty to hundred of these
great red sunshades, held erect by the long,
pointed handles being sunk IN the sand, give
color to the otherwise monotonous scene.
Accompanying each umbrella is mat of
carpet and n board abou6 eighteen inches
wide, cut to point at one end. This
pushed into the sand at angle to suit
forms resting place for the back; the car
pet is to sit on. Tho brilliant color, the
lounging attitudes of the ladies and chill
dren, the smashing of the breakers against
the wharf, throwing the spray high into the
air, make it scene that is not soon for
gotten. \ small charge is made for the
privilege of the parlors and these beach
