out from Sandy Hook, 500 miles a
sea-neariy halfway to Antwerp.
You've all heard OF the Inscription
that was found In an abandoned dug.
out In North Dakota some years ago
which has been somewhat improved
by New Mexican prospector who
left In his cabin an inventory OF hia sit
uatIon: "Forty miles from railroad
thirty miles from q postoftice; nearest
neighbor, twenty-eight miles; near
est wood, twenty-three miles;
nearest water, four miles; hell, one
half mile; God bless our homei'
Well, we are long ways from every
where and everything but salt water,
but ct the same time all seem TO be
happy.
Wonder what is going on on the
earth? No papers, no letters, no tele-
grams; we are little world with no
cares or troubles about anything.
We had services yesterday by Rev.
Mr.. Hornbeck, a Unitarian minister
Of Boston, who is going to Palestine.
The day was very quiet and was gem
orally observed by all on board. The
steerage passengers also had services
and were unusually well-behaved.
Some Of rs land-lubbers just had
quite scare. They had fire drill and
l tell you it was lively for few min
utes. Such order and regularity
never saw; every man knew his place
and was In it and the boats were
ready for launching in a moment.
In case Of sure-enough fire it would
be more quiet until the danger was
great or the passengers would be kept
in ignorance until the fire was out or
the ship was to be abandoned.
