necessary preparations for the homeward
trip He insisted that they should have a
good guide to escort them across the Atlantic,
and the result of this was that Mrs Marsily
accompanied the Folsoms to these shores.
About five hours after leaving the Light of
Flushing astern, the Noordland rushed head
first into violent gale. The wind came up
with frightful vehemence from the west,
created very high and dangerous cross SEA.
The Noordland is grand sea vessel, but this
storm was too much for her. Time after time
the hugo waves would strike her side, caus-
ing her to pitch and roll like log Miss
Folsom was the first one to he attacked by
sea sickness. 1t was very slight at first, but

paid her more than usual attention, but il
was the night OF the Goth before she had suf-
ficiently recovered to leave her berth. The
weather for the most part of the voyage was
very unfavorable for deck promenades, and
At the advice of Mrs. Marsily Miss Folsom
and mother confined themselves either 10 the
saloon or their cabins. The remainder OF the
passage was uneventful.
The baggage, which was taken on by the
chandler, consisted of six pieces-three
trunks, two boxes and willow basket Two
OF the former were very large. One was
about iour feet in length and three feet in
height 1t had a brown covering aud brass
fastenings. The other had q gray linen
covering. There were two large red crosses
painted on them-one on each end-and an
English railway label. After the Noordland
had been docked at the Red Star line pier in
Jersey City, number of persons went on
board and begged Chief Steward Cough for
the privilege of taking anything which Miss
Folsom might have lett in her cabin. They
succeeded IN getting veil, which they cut
into hundred pieces.
To reporter Mrs Owens, the stewardess,

beautiful woman. She treated me as if
were travelling companion. At the con-
cert which was given on board Wednesday
evening, she did not participate in the sing

paper, and she liked it so we'll that she re-
quested Captain Nickels TO procure for her a

passengers on the Noordland, but for beauty
and dignity none to equal Miss Folsom"
Second Officer Nelson, speaking on the
same subject grew quite eloquent and said (:
"She is a tall, handsome woman with com
msnding presence. We officers are not dis
posed to know who is on board the vessel

-" She Is certainly very charming and

hnally confirmed the truth OF the description
OF Miss foisom that she Is tall, handsome,
with very clear complexion, slightly bru.

is frank and winning, and remarkably free
from affectation.
