I had been the captain. So my hall
dollar-inyested with the porter proved
profitable in the end.
When ready TO sail the whole crew
set out with lanterns 10 look for buns
or tramps slowed away in obscure
places. About ten OF those gentle
men OF leisure were found, who were
very generously bounced by the cap
tain. One man was indignant at the
idea OF being taken for trampi said
he only came aboard TO look at the
ship, but the captain allowed him the
privilege Of taking birds'eye-view oil
her from the dock. Tramps on a
steamer differ from those on a train,
for on the former you cant put them
off when under Roadway, besides hay
ing TO board them, gratis. When they
do succeed in getting aboard, they
are generally put in irons, dieted on
bread and water and turned over to
the authorities as Migrants when they
reach their destination. / asked the
captain why he did not put them to
work, he said he tried that game once
on a couple of dead.heads, who in
turn for his kindness demanded pay
for their services and put their case
before u. s. Commissioners who de-
cided they were entitled to pay as
other deck hands.
From New Orleans to the jetties is
118 miles, which we reached about
two o'clock on the day Of departure.
Before reaching there however, the
crowd at our table resolved that the
first man who was too sick to muster
into service at meal time, should be
fined an amount sufficient to treat to
cigars and drinks those who should
be on deck when the gong sounded
the dinner alarm.
We were hardly fairly on the Gulf,
before the world began to turn round,
the floor rise in my face and the ceiling
cave in; all of which made me DESTROYS

The ship heaved and I heaved until
the back of my neck was wrinkled as

per the captain and pilot were the
only persons who answered to roll
call at our table. They demanded
their treats of the absent ones. l sent
them half dollar and went into bank
ruptcy to save myself, for 1 felt then
as if I would never be able to eat
anything again. But one by one we

In passing through Florida straight

account of the stream being some
forty degrees warmer than the cur

gether with the high sea caused by
the confluence of the two streams,
renders this point the most danger

the sea at this point that racks are
placed on the table to hold the dishes
