The Vast Solitude and Intense
Loneliness of Long Voyages

l notice an item in the press stating
that the City Of Picking, in her recent
trip, sailed 1,24O miles without meet
ing single sail. and this fact is cited
as showing the loneliness Of the Pacific
ocean, says the Washington Star.
In the summer Of 1870 l left San
Francisco on a sail vessel formerly
from Baltimore) for Panama. distant
1000 miles, and on the entire rouoc,
which lasted forty-three days, we never
saw Il sail!
Loneliness is no word for it, es-
pecially when we lay becalmcd in the
tropic, with our vessel floating rs help
lessly about as Il chip on Il mill pond,
the ground swells, keeping up the mon
OtonOuS roll of the vessel from side to
side all day and night and day after
day, each rill being accompanied by a
flap of the sails and a creakins of the
rigging hat might have passed for the
flap OF the wings and the vail of lost
spirits
When we read about Noah and his
ark we are apt to think that he must
have had rather lonely time, but
then he was out only forty days, and,
besides, with all the animals, etc, on

time and attention, and if he wanted

tween his monkeys and parrots. True,
