were returning from pleasure trip abroad
During the enforced delay in getting to
port these two brave women were fore
most in the ranks of those who cheered
their fellow passengers and spoke hopeful
words of comfort when danger was most
nigh them. Mrs. McLanahan has made the
voyage many times before, but it was her
daughters first trip, and she had gone
abroad with the father and mother to be
presented at court during this month.
Sudden news of Importance from Wash
ington, where the McLanahans make their
residence most Of the time, caused this
project to be abandoned, and immediate
America. Mr.. McLanahan had secured
state rooms on the Inflated Elbe, when his
wife for some reason decided that they
should delay their departure until the sail
ing Of the Gascogre.
