winged pleasure crafts were already
sudding about the lower bay, some
signglling to friends on board the quar-

trips OF observation around the infected
craft.
On board OF the detained steamers,
life rolls on about the same as it always
does on board on ocean steamships.

prisoned upon the ships; they seem to
have shown most praiSeworthy nerve,
and have set a bright example TO the
more faint-hearted of the men. Those
Of the ladies who are musicians are
using their talents TO entertain their
fellow passengers, and are cheerful as
possible, and the more manly of the
gentlemen, by unlimited playing OF
shuffle-board bean-bag, etc, are helping
to make life endurable for their fellow
prisoners. tending to chase the fear OF
disease, which is the arch ally Of
cholera.
