are the other two Glasses, What a marked
dlherence in manners, appearance ara
neart! And yet they are to be com
mended.
THERE WERE SEVERAL CELEBRATES
ABOARD.
What VOYAGE Is perfect without them:
Mr. aud Mrs. Thomas Bailey Aldrich were
among the passengers aud Robert Garrett
and his wife. You know he is the Presl-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Mrs. Garrett was a Miss Erich, of Bali-
more, and is one of that famous city's
! beautiful women.
| enjoyed the pleasure of an acquaint-
ance with Mr.. and Mrs. AldriOh and found
them charmingly agreeable people. Mr..
Aldrich is famous sailor-up on deck
all the time-but Mrs. Aldrich does not
fare so well, Notwithstanding she has
made eleven voyages.
Mr.. Aldrlch is true poet, just such
man as we would imagine the author OF
dainty poem TO be, and the writer OF
prudence Palfry' and the "Stillwater
Tragedy" gives proof of more of the deli
cate humor of these two books in his soul.
The genial atmosphere of poets and au-
thors' abOdes, and the sunny Southern
climes whore the soft sun allures him in
summer, have melted the Boston snow
in his nature, and the man is
delightful com bInation OF wit,
cultivation and grace of conversation.
OF course there were autograph fends on
board and his life was torment, but he
discovered in one of the seekers young
artist who had illustrated many Of his
books and they became good friends.
1t is pleasant incident always on ship
board that you make so many delightful
acquaintances-the perfume of whose
friendship fingers around you to the day
when ''inis" is written, and this voyage
will ever be pleasant remembrance be-
cause of the cOngenial souls with whom L
came in contact.
AND NOW FOR OUR GOOD SHIP,
the Servia. On, how we love her after
her kindness In Drawing the dangers OF
the great deep and bringing us safely to
land-a foreign land. She is the largest
vessel afiOat, and, with the exception of
the Great Eastern, the largest ever built.
Her length is $50 feet, with three decks
and delightful broad hurricane deck
above, where the promenade was q thing
Of joy. She is magnitiCently appareled,
the service excellent and the fare as good,
| imagine, as we ever find it. The SER
wants are all English, and at once the
difference in the people Is detected. Man
ner, speech, all are unlike, and we see it
as plainly IN the lower classes as the
higher. We all know how this class drop
their ''h's'' and attach those they lost to
some words much better of without them.
But they are all humble and attentive.
THE SUNSET IS ALWAYS A REVELATION
OF beauty ON the ocean, aud every eve
ming it came later and later until yester-
day, when we were within sight of land
the last ray darted ont by O'Clock.
Think of it. the sun high in the heavens
until O'Clock, and twilight lasting until
nearly 10. That as much as anything
else shows us how we live in foreign
land We reached Queenstown by
O'Clock and for several hours land was
vislble--the Emerald Isle cleaning out
amid the soft, humid clouds.
The harbOr at Queenstown is one ofthe
finest in the world, being completely
IaDd-lOcked and aAOrding safe anchorage
| tor the entire British navy and we all
know how stupendOus that IS. From
| Queenstown on the scene was beautiful
! beyond description. The st. Georges
! channel was dotted with white-winged
craft. On one side was the Irish coast
with its line OF mountains, on the other
the rugged shores OF Wales. HOlyhead,
| on the Welsh coast, appeared about
| dusk, casting the beacon light from It's
watch tower far out into the night. The
| light here is "A revolving one, and with
the exception of the light house near st.
| Augustine, Fla, is the only one of the
| Il, L
| house has its peculiar light, and mariners
| By consulting their charts may know
where they are by the popularity Of the
! light in the warning tower. We anchored
off Liverpool about 10 this morning. The
| immense Liverpool docks confronted us
mighty IN their strength, with great,
massive sluice gates.
THE "sERvIA" DRAWS TOO MUCH WATER
| to allow OF her going into the dock and
the passengers were transferred bya cut
| ter to the custom house pier, where we
found our trunks awaiting us.
Liverpool is dlstinctively foreign city,
and everywhere you are impressed with
sense of its massiveness. All the
! buildings are enormous and built of a
| peculiar dark stOne-stOry upon story
| built to last for ages.
Around the hotel are many OF the gov
eminent public buildings, and Just across
the street and facing it is St. Georges
Hall, an immense building supported by
| fifteen Corinthian columns. in front Of
the hall is an open square, containing
equestrian statues OF the Queen, the
| Prince COnsort and the far famous lions
of Liverpool. The Colonial Exhibition is
in progress and the city is crowded with
visitors.
Everything wears foreign aspect-the
people, the buildings, the vehicles, and
the most striking things of all are the
street railways, or tramwAys, as they
term them here. The care are very large,
covered with advertisements, for which
an enormous price is charged. They are
divided into upper and lower cOmpart-
ments, and it appears so strange To see
people sitting on the roof reading news
papers and in various other ways occupy
ing themselves. The ascent to the cheaper
ride on the roofis by narrow stairway.
Gracious, how strange 1T looked. l..
