AT SEA, 1890.-During the past i've
years nv vocation has brought me much to
sea. Besides few little iourneyings along
the old Acadian shores, Cubaward and
among and about the sunny Bahamas, to the
dreamland Azores Isles and to the steely
coasts of Labrador, this is the beginning of
a seventh round trip to Europe. As we
passed out OF New York harbor, and that
bitter psng one can never down, reaching
not only to those loved behind the disap-
pearing shores, but to all things and persons
that make ones own land and kind, thrilled

After all, great as is the ocean travel OF TO-
day, vast and voluminous as are the writer's
logbooks and travellers tales about it, and
sympathetic as are the pulsings of old At
lantic's activities with the throbbings of in
terror commercial life, yet how few
there are among our sixty or seventy mill
ions of people who ever saw the sea;
how few really comprehended what
it was to sail from New York to Liverpool:
and even how few of all those millions who
have nearly all their lives resided in Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco,
and other great seaport cities, that ever once
saw an ocean steamer, or had the most mea-
ger conception of the scenes in their own
ports attendant upon getting away to

est attaching to ordinary life and its environ
ment upon one of the latest built majestic
coursers of the Atlantic. And so thought,
as had always kept my eyes and ears open
at sea, I might 10 all modesty say something
informing and welcome sbout the starting
and going to the Old World, which, because
that going will make OF the one who goes a
better citizen. oupht to be every American's
