we were. We ran up to Liverpool at
10 o'clock, the baggage was all on
deck and that was all landed before
we got off. We were ushered in
where we had to open our trunks for
the inspector. He asked me if had
any fine tobacco, cigars or anything
contraband, told him had not, he
gave look through my trunk and
passed it. wanted to open the grip
but he said it was all right. There
was man whose wife had put two
rolls of tobacco in his shoes, the in
spector found it, took him out and
searched him. If they had found
any more it would have cost him ten
dollars.

in Liverpool on the 18th. The aver
age of the Germanic is eight days.
We had on board l60 cabin passengers,

per day 100 to 1910 tons, owing to

fast. We started from Liverpool at
1920 p. m. and arrived at Belfast at
$3.50 a. m. We had very nice pas
sage across the channel till we came
to the Tough and then had very
strong head wind, you could scarce
ly stand on deck but we persisted in
seeing the shores which are grand,
the green fields, white houses and the
general picturesque of the country.
County Down is very handsome. We
took breakfast in Belfast and at 12:15
were in RandalstOwn, where we took
a jaunting car and arrived at Samuel
Hanna's at about 200 O'Clock, and
surprised them completely. Find the
country fine, and think it would be
hard to find a more picturesque
country. We find the people con-
tented and prosperous. 1t is not the
Ireland of fifty years ago at all. The
country has improved wonderfully,
and there has been as much improve
ment in the. people as in anything
else. We are having a great time.
We were in Ballymena on Easter
Monday, it being a legal holiday.
There were drums, cars everywhere,
besides sport of all kinds. Saturday
wife and l attended market in Bally
