sydney, August Z, 1S9i.-Pitched, shaken.
'"misted, flung, sickened. bruised. dismayed
5 alarmed are some of the words which de-
Scribe our feelings whilst crossing from
Few Zealand TO Australia. We heard that
an. passage was like crossing the channel
Vat Calais from France to England but that
,unstead of the hour and a half it would be
Ia our days and half 1t was worse than
1--WE expected and worse thau usual. We
thad nearly six days Of il. The only allcvia-
siiOn of the voyage was the captain, who
was Jolly at the time to be jolly, serious
at the time to DE serious and deeply rcl!gi-
Gus AT al times. Converted in "A Freshly
terrain church in New Zealand. he mas be-
come a flaming Evangel, preaching on
board his steamer once or twice every Sab
bath.
our rough sea experience prepared US for
fun appreciation OF one of the brightest
panoramas OF the land and sky that ever
unroled before mortal vision. Captain Ne
Vile said to us: 1--WE win soon be i'm sight
of the Australian coast, and when We APP
proach the harbor of Sydney come up on
my bridge and | will point out to you the
objects of interest" THANK YOU" our
reply, TO the unusual invitation, for sea
CAPTAINS do not ordinarily like to have com
pany on the steamers bridge. In few
moments we climbed to the side Of the
captain. Great walls of rock built by the
Eternal God reached along the coast and
stopped only wide enough apart to allow
ships to enter and to keep the boisterous
ocean out.
"Yonder." said the captain, lis the re-
treat in the rocks which in the twilight
deceived the captain of the Duncan Dun
bar to mistake II for the harbor and to
aim for r. crashing into destruction. All
on board pcrshed save one man. who was
picked up after he had floated down on To
the shelving"
safely we rode in between the two great
brown pillars OF IIawkcsbury sandstone
and then began the revelation of a h9rhor
such az nowhere else in the wide world
IS to be found. The whole scene is an
odyssey" n "Diyiua Commcdia.' an OH
Testament and "a New Testament of gran
dcur ana loveliness. You cannot for a
moment relax your energy Of watching
without missing something which You can
not see again. The white palaces of the mer-
chant princes of Sydney shine through the
foliage of the trees Dipping to the bay
are gardens a5loom in winter. and lawns
with an emerald like unto the fourth layer
Of the wall of heaven. Tropical plants and
tropical flowers stand sid" by side with the
growth OF more rigorous climates. Vine
yards and orange groves, pomesrnnates and
guavas, ana piGoapples growing IN a revelry
of luxuriancc. Nolfolk pines, palm. More
