but Others thought that it was too much for
perfect comfort and thorough enjoyment of
the trip; President Harrison kept his place

he became lady's escort there, but he was
not quite comfortable, and signs that he was

and did not quite like it. Meanwhile, the
Turkish minister took to lounge in the sa-
loon. He evidently felt pretty badly, and
when Walker Blaine asked him if the inter-
nal relations of Turkey were entirely peace
full, he rolled over, and, with a groan,
said that he hoped so. Meanwhile three or
four ladies, well known in social circles;
were feeling uncomfortable In the ladies'
cabin, and the walters whom Caterer Sproul
had sent on board with the lunch. were not
feeling WELL Others who did not succumb
felt out of sorts, and had little time to dis
cuss religion, politics or the theatre.
But the sail through rough water was not
long. 1t lasted considerably less than an
hour, and when Schooner Head and Great
Head had been passed and Sutton's Island
was reached, the water became smoother. the
fog began to lift, and the spirits of the pas
sengers rose. Nobody had been very sick.
There had hardly been time for that, but
many had come to the conclusion that sea-
sickness was an awful thing, and of those
who felt sick the President had borne up the
best. This was in the early afternoon. and and
their son and daughter had been exerting
themselves for the comfort of their guests.
The steamer ran by Northwest and South
west Harbors and up Somes sound. stopping
at the first named to enable Mr..

declined, as the Bishop was awaiting the
arrival of friends on the Richmond.
Then the steamer drew up alongside sthe
| Clytie, three-masted schooner, which ewas
anchored in the middle of the channel, and
asked for rope. The two boats were made

| lunch was served in the main saloon: 1t was
| of plain, substantial kind, including cold
| chicken, cold ham, salads, ice cream, cake,
coffee, etc, and eaten in the saloon or on
| deck, as the eaters chose. President Harri-
son was one of the large number who pre-
ferred the saloon. He sat on the covered
settee which ran along the side, with a nap
Mrs. Blaine sat next to him, and the .secre-.
tary of state and Mrs. Walker Blaine busted
themselves in seeing that their guests were
taken good care Of After lunch there was
a funny incident. The gentlemen went on
deck to smoke, and, it was, noticed that

had not been run up. and was told
that the President was on board the steamer,

in the neighboring vessel. The colors were
found. the halliards were fixed and the Uni.

example set by this boat being followed by
another close by President Harrison laughed
heartily at this incident, and handed Mate
Armstrong cigar. He also gave one to the
boy who had gone up the mast, and then al
hand were called on board and lunched.
The steamer went little farther up th
sound before returning When near Somes
