enough to appreciate its pleasures
three days and nights. The ser
vice and accomm bdations on the
steamer were first class, and theil
trip was made all the more pleas
ant by letters of introduction to the
captain and purser Of the steamer
who granted them special favors
The ladies were confined to theil
, state rooms most Of the voyage, OLD
: Neptune being little too dizzy for
them. DR.. Smith, the letter says
naturally complained considerable
f about everything, more from The
] fact that he had sailed across the
{ Atlantic and at that time was tn,
t only passenger able to be around
, but he found the Pacific little to-
} much for his equilibrium and sue
| cumbed to that "tited feeling" tina
| often occurs during rough weathe
> at sea-but claimea it was indiges
, ton. Mr.. Helfrich took all meals
} by special privilege, at the captain
table, and says, although he missed
! the company of his companions, h
!. had o most enjoy ble trip.
