In the morning the party was
conducted over Sandusky, which is
a pretty little city, noted not only
as a port of great Importance, but

their several homes with kindliest
expressions of appreciation of the
efforts made for their entertainment
and with feeling of strengthened
fraternal friendship, and many
thanks to Mr.. Pond for his especi-
