In STRAITS OF DOVER, April 9,
1901. We are now speeding up the
channelunder the mostluspicious
circumstances with a day fit for
the gods. The Calcium cliffs of
England on one side and the green
hills of France on the other, it
makes one feel good after a week
of rough, cloudy and disagreed BILE
weather. Reached Cherburg last
night at 11.25 and dropped anchor
until this morning when we
proceeded to southampton,
reaching there at 10 a. m. and
now at p. m. are almost through
Straits of Dover, when we will
enter North Sea and finally reach
Bremen tomorrow "Wednesday
a. IN. about11. Have passed some
of the most attractive landscapes
to-day that nature could ever
create. Among them Queen
Victoria's Osborne Castle and
estate and Tennyson's Estate,
then the natural scenery is most
romantic and different from any
thing | have ever seen. Aside
from the sea sickness, to. days S
pleasure and profit is worth the
trip. Have met some splendid
people. One mau-a business
man from Hamburg making his
36th trip, has been all over the
world and a Mason OK. T.) There
are many of them on board.
Think | am o. X. from sickness
now, but cannot tell for | felt
good yesterday and got up at 5
o'clock to see Harborof Cherburg
and "fed the fishes" before we
had gone an hour. Have eaten
lightly on deck to-day and feel
fine SO will go down for supper.
The smell of cooking does me up
when | go below. The waters
are smooth up the Channel, only
little jar. Will mail this at
Bremen tomorrow, but will not
stay there long. But will be in
Berlin several days for t ere is
much to see there and | want
rest. DR.. Sweighart and | both
went upon upper deck after din
ner and laid down wrapped in our
rugs to enjny the sublime pana-
rama of water and rocky cliffs
white chalk and green hills.
They now tell us we will reach
Bremen Haven to- morrow about
9 in the morning and go by spec
ial train 30 miles to Bremen, and
gave us our tickets. Will now
close and return to room for last
night on vessel. When we get up
will be nearing the harbor and we
will soon set our feet on terra
tirma once again, much
to our pleasure, yet | must
say if we had few days as to-
day we would be happy on board.
