! The angels of night were descending
from the evening skies and ascending
from the waves Of the Pacific and rid
ing down in black chariot Of shadow
from the mountains of New Zealand as
we approached the harbor of Auckland,
and the lighthouse on the rocks held up
its great torch to keep us of the reefs
and to show us the way to safc wharf
age, seeming to say: "Yonder is path
of wayesi Ride into peacel Accept the
welcome of this islandr'
I It wss half past o'clock when the
great screw Of orr steamer ceased to
swirl the waters, and the gangpla,lll
was lowered, and we descended to the
firm land, cur name called as VIC heard
it spoken by multitude who were
there to greet US. Strange sensation was
it 10, coo miles from homo to hear our
name pronounced by those whose faces
we had never seen before, and whose
faces could be only dimly seen now By
the lanterns on tho docks and tho lights
Of our ship, just halted after long
voyage. What made the night more
memorable was that | was suddenly i'll
formed at O'Clock I was to lecture in
their hall. and 30 minutes was short
time to allow 4 poor sailor like myself
to get physical and mental equipoiss aft
er 81 days pitching, But at o'clock
was ready and confronted q throng Of
people cordial and genial as any one
ever saluted from platform or pulpit
l told how for many days l had been
looking off on great ocean of ipecac,
but that had not wanted. as ,rauy say
under such circumstances. TO be thrown
1 overheard, and that did not think any
one ever did want to be thrown ever
board, and reminded them of the seasick
yoyager who said he wished to be
thrown into the sea, and the captain had
sailor dash on him pailful of cold
ocean water, and when the soaked aud
shivering man protested aud asked the
captain what he meant by such an in
suit the captain replied, "You wanted
to be thrown overheard, aud | thought
would let you try how you liked a
bucket of the water before You took the
whole ocean. "
Never so glad were we to stand on
firm land as the night Of our arrival at
Auckland. Wpndfops New zealandi

These challenges of tempest and car
nibaIism and oceanic horror must have
had nerve and yalor beyond that Of any
Other HEROES. Such sllca set New l,ea-
land rs j gem into tho crown OF The

psopls Who como here New Zealand is a
splendid surprise. We have all read 60
much about the superstitions and out
