CHAPTER NllL-CoNTINUED.
Jennie Brewster was seldom seen on
deck. She applied herself assiduously
TO the writing of that brilliant series of
articles which have since appeared in
the Sunday edition OF the New York
Argus under the general title OF Life
at Sea-" and which were recently issued
In book form.
AS everybody is already aware, her
sketches of the genial New York poll
tlcian and also of the tacituru English
man are considered the finest things in
the little volume. They have been
largely copied as typical examples OF
American humor. When Jennie Brew
ster did appear on deck, she walked
alone up and down the promenade with a
sort of half-defant look in her eve as
she passed Kenyon or Miss Long
worth, and she generally passed them
together.

worth had the deck to themselves. The
conversation naturally turned 10 the

Kenyon. IL think, on the contrary
