FORTUNE ISLAND, ATLANTIC OCEAN,
DECEMBER ID, 1899
Dear BEE: Last Saturday at 4 p. m,
our good steamship Lauenburg OF the
MunsOn line, from New York to Nedevi-
tas, Cuba, with more than score OF
first class passengers and frs class peo-
pie, including a large proportion OF
ladies and children, on their way 10 join
their husbands and fathers in our Amy
of occupation. We passed Cape Henry,
making 240 miles the first day, and sun
day the dangerous and dreadful Cape
Hatteras was passed in the night, 80
miles distant, and we had made 300 miles
by noon, and were on the parallel of
Char lesion, s. c., BAT 2 statute miles
west Of the track of our eamship.
The third day we made $40 geograph-
ical miles and crossed the parallel Of
Cape Canavaral on the east coast of
Florida, 40 statute miles distant, ana
by o'clock p. M, we had left New York
and our friends $50 miles behind US, ana
are expecting to reach Neuevitas day at
ter tomorrow, on the one hundredth an
niverssry of the departure of George
Washington for the better werld beyond
this vale Of tears" having Rugged the
eastern shore of Watling's Island its
whole length, once called san Salvador,
which was the first land discovered by
Christopher Columbus and his gang, Oh
their first voyage, just four centuries and
one week of years from that memorable
October morning, which brought New
World to light, and by an unexpected
coincidence was also the first and onlJ
bit Of ground seen by our voyagers on
leaving the land of Uncle Sam. We stop
a few hours at Fortune Island, to take on
laborers to aid US in landing, and to en-
able US to communicate with home, etc,
and here for the next 200 miles we
change our courge to a Southwestern IL
direction, from having hitherto Travelled
practically on the meridian ever since We
left the port of New ork.
All on board are now recovering from
the sickness of the sea, though less than
half our number are able to sit up ana
take their meals at table, with any regu-
iaritV, and all of them are longing to get
on shore once more. The operations Of
the imagination are so vigorous and vic.
lent as to make US sick or we'll at sea,
and make believe that NAL de mer is only
caprise, and your scribe has not the
hardwood to dispute the theory, for does
not st Paul himself tell US that las 8
man thinketh so is he?'' In haste for the
