and utterly out of keeping with my we'll
known Characteristic OF always remaining
at table, and never under it, or away from
! it.
so on the morning of this second day
ont, l arose early, as is my wont.
gradually became conscious of the various
changes that had taken place during the
night, and concluded that it was about
time to get my intellect to bear on that
mental reservation regarding seasickness.
l had been told that a good way to stave
of seasickness is to try not to think of it,
but to occupy your mind with thoughts
OF other things. So after getting on deck
ana ordering cup of coffee, | started to
think. | contemplated the Reed button
on the lapel of my coat, and calculated
the chances OF his nomination in June,
but an uneasiness in my throat interfered
| with the calculation and upset the
chances. Then | tried to work up de-
Tense for Mckinleys silence on the silver
! question, IL the next man who came on
deck should refer to the topic. AS | had
only the New York Erening Post to con-
suit, didn't get on very rapidly.
/ Next my mind worked it's way back to
Ellsworth, and l wondered if Judge
Whitehouse had settled the Gerry mar
shalship. Naturally ! then fell into a
contemplation OF the events OF the spring
election. GLOW could we," | thought,
"be so stupid as not to re elect Judge
Dutton i'll that first election? 1t makes
me tired to think of it." "And then at
the second election! After we all worked
SO hard and so faithfully, to be charged
with being ring, and with a desire to
plunge the city in debt, and with other
disbolicai schemes, and then have Henry
Davis beaten by only six votes! Why, it
makes me"
Just the thought of the word / was
about to use, combined with the coffee
! (Which has peculiar flavor when waves
are high and with other things too
numerous to mention, knocked my mental
reservation into cooked hat; / went the
way OF all flesh.
Further proceedings interested me no
more. 1t was Friday morning. Saturday
night ventured to the table; Sunday
could eat little, and it was not till Mon
day that my regulation appetite began
again to get in its customary work. But
during the hiatus l had plenty OF com
pany nine-tenths Of the first-cabin
! passengers were sick.
On Tuesday the wind changed, the sea
became smooth, and from that time on
/ to our landing at southampton on Fri
day afternoon, and at Bremen on Satur-
/ day afternoon, nothing better in the way
OF weather could have been furnished u.s.
| We made many delightful acquaintance
and the remainder of the trip was alto
gether enjoyable, and afforded an ex-
/ perienCe not easily to be forgotten.
We sighted Bishop Rock, on the Scily
/ Islands, the extreme eastern point of the
/ English coast, about midnight Thurs
/ day, and were abreast of the famous Ed
3 dystone light house when | got on deck
/ i'll the morning. The day was clear, and
I the sail along the southern coast OF Eng
/ land WAS delightful. We sailed direct to
/ the docks at Southampton, where we re-
manned about an hour-just long enough
/ to land passengers, mail, &c; then we
were OF on the last leg OF our voyage,
/ through he Straits of Dover just about
I dark, and so near the middle of the
! choppy channel that we could easily dis
/ tinguish the English lights on our left
and those on the French coast on our
/ right.
We anchored at the mouth of the River
Weser about p. m. Saturday; thence We
were transferred in a tender to Bremen
/ haven, the tide at that hour not permit
ting the ship to go to the docks. Here
we had our baggage examined, and in
about an hour We're off for Bremen, " here
put up at the Central hotel, and had our
/ first experience with narrow beds, feat h.
/ er-beds for blankets, candles and sure
enough Germans.
To write of what we saw in Bremen, Of
our ride to Berlin, OF the joyous meeting
! there of Mrs. r. and the children, who
had come up from Dresden; of the sights
in that great city; of our visits to other
! cities, including Breslau and Prague, and
OF our stay in this delightful city Of
/ Dresden would take up too much OF The
AMERICANS valuable space, and would
also have deeterious effect on the
patience of its readers, so | will quit and
continue it III our next
f. W. ROLLINS.
