trouble after the sight / had witnessed
when Pilot Doliyer came aboard
An Impressive Scene.
Reaching Boston harbor in the midst of
deep excitement and deeper feelings among
those holding opposite views, a number of
our officers decided to abandon the cause
of the union for that of the confederacy
then established. Those who were loyal
were merely required to subscribe anew to
their oath of allegiance. After carefully
examining this new document it was not
difficult to renew my allegiance at a moment
when so many were abandoning our cause
The scene off the highlands when Dolliver
came on board had craven its impression
too surely upon my heart. Those uncovered
heads, those fearful eyes, those loving, loyal
looks of the faithful old bronzed faces, who
had known no other love and who were too
old then to begin anew had fashioned my
young fancies too, and after ! had renewed
my allegiance in the cabin of the dear old
commodore / looked up and found had done
so standing directly under scuttle leading
TO the poop deck and directly under the
folds of the old flag as it was gracefully
unfolding itself to a light breeze, all the
more dear to me now after the exposures We
have undergone and the perils of service to
which our lives have been devoted in help
ing others to uphold 1t the world over for
those of our land who in their time and turn
are to follow US in holding fast to the teach
ings Of cur fathers and, like them, to pre-
serve the inheritance of this blessed land
of liberty for these who follow them.

Hong Kong, the pilot followed this in
formation with another question:
"Aint you heard nothing at all since sail
ing?"
mo" replied the captain. Nothing at
all, as we have touched nowhere since leav-
ing the Cape of Good Hope There was no
news there when we sailed"
Delivers reply to this assurance ! shall
never forget 1t was as forcible as it was
emphatic and as Impressive as words could
possibly make it, even if it was little in
elegant.
"well, gentlemen the country is all
busted to hi"
An Excited Ships Company.
While this colloquy was going on between
the pilot and the captain the ships company
had crowded aft in both gangways and, like
the officers, were intensely anxious to hear
what the news might be. What Dolliyer
had said so emphatically had, reached their
ears and had touched their hearts. Tears
started from eyes that were not accustomed
to weeping and coursed down the cheeks
OF those bronzed old heroes. 1t could be
seen that Arm resolve to stick Loyalty to
the old flag tnat had hoated in honor over
their lives and fortunes had gone deep into
their souls, for almost Immediately every
eye was turned upward toward the peak,
where the old flag was floating peacefully
and majestically, and intuiuvely every head
was uncovered in homage.
1t was an experience never to be for
gotten and the sight OF those bronZed old
heroes, with heads uncovered to the dear oil
flag, taught my young heart in few mo-
ments whole volume Of patriotism. l had
been born in a slaye-holding state and had
been reared surrounded by by colored chill
dren and was influenced to some extent by
the prejudices which the institution Of
slavery had engendered, but when 1t be-
came necessary to decide OFF Boston harbor
whether the love of state was to be superior
to the love Of country and my pride in its
glories and in its history. there was no

and just as hospitable as that of our gov
ernment to their embassy. The temple of
Siogee in the city of Yeddo was fitted up for
the reception and entertainment of our off,
GERS.
The great city OF Yeddo was laid out daily
during our stay into interesting districts for
visits Of inspection.
The routes along which we were escorted
were, as a rule, closely packed with natives,
who were curious to see the white foreigner
fer the first time in their lives. But in no
instance during these excursions was any
nciyitity or rudeness manifested, though on
all sides there was that natural curiosity to
get a closer look at the long haired white
man. In this the pretty Japanese woman
was, as a rule, more conspicuous than the
man, and dare say there are many matrons
living now in Toxic who can remember a
bright button conferred in response to some
roguish importantly.
A Long Trip Home.
After our mission had been completed and
the presents from our government to that OF
Japan had been landed, we started on our
return TO Chinese waters In the winter of
1S6O-6l, Reaching Hong Kong, the United
States minister, Mr., Ward, had authority to
return TO the United States, and the
Niagara was directed to take him to India,
and thence to the mouth Of the Red sea,
where he took steamer for Europe, and ulti-
mately home.
This duty performed, the Niagara Pre-,
ceeded from Alden to the Comoro islands,
northwest of Madagascar, and lastly to Cape
Town, in South Africa. Our voyage home
was in length somewhat longer than that
going out, and nothing was known of the
fall election that had already taken place,
although there was considerable anxiety on
board among the officers and men. as our
complement included many from both sec
tions
On the day of election, however, vote
was taken on board ship, with the result
that Mr. Lincoln received a majority of the
votes cast. Until the ship had reached the
Omaha daily bee., 1899-04-02

highlands of Cape Cod, Mass we were in
utter ignorance of the portent of this vote
taken away off in the China seas.
The absence of ships, however along our
coasts about the latitude of Cape HatteraS
as we were approaching home caused pain
full forbodings lest some disaster had be-
fallen the country we loved so we'll. The
mutterlngs in the south OF the year before
in the event OF certain election caused
sCme anxiety and the absence of vessels In
regions where in years gone by they were
as thick as the leaves in Vallombrosa was
held by the older heads to be omniously
significant but it was not until we reached
the highlands of Cape Cod that we were to
learn the full extent Of the great calamity
that was upon us. The election we had held
on board the ship way off in the waters OF
China, on the other side Of the globe was
only the prelude of the more general one at
home. AS Mr.. Lincoln was the choice of the
majority of the officers and men Of the
frigate Niagara, so We were to learn subse-
quently he was also the choice of the nation.
The First News.
When off the Highlands a pilot boat was
discovered nearby, and the pilot put off in a
boat with his pockets full, as is customarily
done, OF the latest papers He was awaited
with an impatience that seemed almost
painful, and the moment he had crossed the
rail and reached the gangway he was asked
by the captain, dear old Commodore Nc
Kean, than in whom no more loyal heart
ever beat for the flag, this question:
pilot, what is the news?"
The pilot, Deliver was his name 10, ked
around at all standing about the quarter
deck apparently amazed at the question,
for what he was about to tell US as news
was quite old to him, and instead Of reply
ing at once TO this question, the pilot as so
often happens, asked the captain with some
surprise:
Where in thunder have you come from,
captain?"
When told more politely, If less emphati-
cally, by the captain that he had come from
Omaha daily bee., 1899-04-02

that there were not successful submarine
cables engirdlng the earth as now, so that
letters and papers were looked for most
eagerly in that far-off land.
When the Heart Grows Weary.
For these who live always at home or en-
Joy the advantages and comforts of constant
home association in this blessed land of
liberty 1t is not easy to comprehend how
weary the heart grows in waiting three long,
long years before returning from what seems
to us almost Punishment, honorable ii is
true. and yet more difficult to understand
how the altars OF ones patriotism are kept
burning and how the love OF country and
its flag may live and grow in hearts that are
obliged by the circumstances to pass most OF
their lives away from and outside the
dearest associations of education and friend
ship.
1t is this exile-this having to perform
duties that are beyond the public ohservati n
and to some extent outside the public sym
pathy, often In the most pestlential regions
OF the globe, where we stand guard over the
commercial rights OF our countrymen, or on
tho remote frontiers of civilization, where
we stand for the great power OF right and
protection to those domiciled there-that
makes our country so grand TO us and our
respect for it's flag so profound
The flag too, has a personality to us. 1t
represents the majesty of our government
of the people and their great power. As
the symbol Of freedoms home it excites
enthusiasm wherever it is shown abroad
and in the hearts of its freemen defenders
there is felt a love and admiration for what
It represents that is apt TO be overlooked
by those who live where these privileges
are not so esteemed as by those Of us who.
accustomed to long service abroad, are able
TO compare these advantages with those of
other countries, where much Of our lives
have to be passed.
The Niagara reached Japan in the late
fall and proceeded to Yeido, as then known,
but as Toxic in this day, Our presence was
most welcome and our reception by the
government Of Japan was lust as cordial

End of Long Voyage from Hong

mcnt of the Crew ON Learning
About the Rebellion.

Away back in the year 1859, during the
administration OF Mr.. Buchanan, an embassy
from the Japanese empire visited this coun-
t-y TO return q visit made by the squadron
under Commodore NJ @. Perry number OF
years before.
Their visit OF ceremony being at an end'
our government determined to send this
embassy back in a national war ship and as
the frigate Niagara was at that time the
largest, as we'll as one of the most
formidable war vessels aioat, 1t was selected
by the Navy department for this mission and
sailed early in July, 1860, for Japan with
the embassy on board.
1t was the privilege of the writer 10 nave
served on board the Niagara during THIS
cruise and It left our shores just after the
principal conventions had nominated theh
candidates for. the presidency,
