Extracts
From The First News Of Col. Pursell
Since He Left Logan for his South
ern Home.

OFF Key West, Jan. 9Th, '99:-"We
arrived at the city of Tampa last
night about eight O'Clock and were
transferred to the Plant System Rail
road, and after run of half an hour
we reached Port Tampa and boarded
the ship Mascot. We were all hum
CRY and after we skirmished around
Port Tampa for an hour, we finally
succeeded in finding a place where
by hard coaxing we could get plate
of ham sandwiches. There were ten
of us in the party and we each got a
bottle of ginger ale, or beer, as we
chose. This was all, except the price,
which was $3.50. We kicked, but it
was of no use, and we had to pay.
About midnight the ship left the
pier and we were off again for Cuba.
It takes two nights and day to
make the trip across. I had quite
an experience last night. The widow,
son and daughter of the great Cuban
leader General Garcia, who died in
Washington few weeks ago, are
aboard with the remains of another
daughter Of the dead Cuban. The
young lady had been up to Thomas.
vile, Ga. for her health, and few
days after her fathers death, she al
so died. OF course all our crowd
deeply sympathized with the bereav-
ed family ard desired to express
their sympathy personally. So they
chose me to call upon young Garcia
and introduce the matter. He ia a
handsome young gentleman perhaps
twenty years Of age, and most
courtly and polished fellow. I pre-
sented myself at the head Of our
party and spoke to him in as SYM
pathetic and respectful tone as 1
could command. He met my ad-
vances in the most courteous and
appreciatiye manner, assured me
that he was deeply impressed, and
would feel honored in meeting me
again in Havana. I requested him
to convey our coincidence to his
honored mother and he replied that
she would be most happy in the
knowledge of our good will, I then
introduced our crowd to him and
each one endorsed the sentiments /
had expressed.
The ship is crowded with return
ing Cubans who left the island dur
ing the war. We hear very little
else than Spanish aboard. Even the
servant who answers my bell and
brings me towels and water, talks
Spanish to me and can only be made
to understand by motions. He
catches on quickly and waits on me
with promptness and facility.
Among the steerage passengers is
a Cuban mother and two sons. The
sons are young men, and one of them
was mentally unbalanced. This
morning the latter, while being
escorted around by his brother,
broke away and jumped overheard.
The ship got nearly a mile away
before. 1t could be stopped and turned
around. The poor. boy struggled
manfully for his life but by the time
we got back and q boat was cast off
to aid him. he had given up the
fight and while he was recovered. in
spite Of hard work by some army
physicians on board, he never re-
gained consciousness. Then after
an htnr of persistent effort, the
doctors gave up and quit. 1t was
very sad and the passengers were
deeply affected. A subscription was
started and quite sum wvs collect
