ON THE VASTy DEEP.
The Solitude and Loneliness of Long
VOYAGES.
Washington Star.

/ notice an item in the press stating that the
City of Peking, in her recent trip, sailed 1910
miles without meeting a single sail, and this
fact is cited as showing the loneliness of the
Pacific Ocean.
In the summer OF 1850 left San Francisco
on sail vessel Gormery from Baltimore) for
Panama. distant 1000 miles, and on the entire
route, which lasted forty-three days, we never
saw a sail!
Loneliness is no word for it, especially when
we lay becalmed In the tropics. with our vessel
floating as helplesSly about as a chip on a mill
pond, the ground swelis keeping UP the mo-
notOnouS roll OF the vessel from side to side all
day and night and day after day, each roll
being accompanied by flap Of the sails and a
creakne OF the rigging that might have passed
for the flap of the wings aud the wall OF lost
spirits.
When we read about Noah and his ark we
are apt TO think that lie must have had rather
a lonely time, but when he was out only forty
days, and besides, with all the animals, etc,
on board. he had plenty TO occupy his time and
attention. and If he wanted amusement to while
away the time he had only to start a spa ring
match betWern II his monkeys and parrots. True,
there Is no report of any such proceedings on
his part but that Is doubtless because there
was no modern newspaper reporter on board.
tell you, man can't realize what loneliness
or comfort is until lie has made some such trip,
and If he wants to complete his education in
that line he should preface 1t with a tramp OF
1000 miles over the mountains and across the
deserts amid wolves am wild Indians, as thou

The present summer has been the dulest one,
socially. that this city has witnessed for MANY
wears, and the cause is almost nexplicable 1t
is true that many OF our prominent entertainers
have gone 10 the Columbian Exposition and
sIill further East and that hundreds of society
people have passed the season at various sum-
mer resorts, and this has caused noticea BILE
cessation in the usual round OF festivity. St;A.
we have had many people with us who could
have entertained had they so desired The
..ohabillties are that the stringency In the
money market has about as much TO do with it
as anything else. We shall hope for resump-
tion OF gayety in the near future and cannot
doubt but that society will soon become active.
