Wishart writes
81 have just finished a mile on
deck. The sea charms me with
its changing of position and
shades, aud | haven't been "laid
by" yet, but the ocean has been
so smooth all the way. | mean
to spend the mornings up to ten
| o'clock on deck for air and exer.
else, and then study here in the
library till lunch. l will be able
to give you a more correct idea of
the different people in our party
later on, as 1 am as yet acqualnt.
ed only with their names and
faces, and have only a general i'm
preston. Mr.. Lee, the gentle.
man of our party, 1 can readily
see Is cultured, Christian gen.
tleman, and seems to have the art
of making himself felt and recog.
nized as some one worth while
among the other passengers
His wife has been sick ever since
we started. DR.. Ruth Hume has
undertaken to look after my
health, and she and Miss Camp
bell, the trained nurse, both go.
ing to Ahmednazar, India, were
in our cabin yesterday evening
for about an hour. Miss Blssell
is a clear. headed, clever woman,
and Miss Ethel Putney, another
of our party, is Wellesley girl
gong abroad to study. Then
there are three elderly Baptist
missionaries.
We have the middle table and
lots of wit to season the sauces.
Last evening Sunday we had a
nice little informal service IN the
saloon conducted by Mr.. Lee, al.
ter which he suggested that ev.
erybody get acquainted. The
incest people were there and we
met them after the service. Ma
ry Fairbank and | room togeth
er, and I'm very glad of it. She
reminds me in every way of my
cousin, Mrs. George Fockler.-
She is a graduate of Smith Col
lege, quite bright, and "up" on
everything; talks science, psy.
chology, religion, and dress all in
one breath. She is certainly pop.
ular, and had nearly sixty steam
er letters to read enroute, two
hampers of fruit, boxes of candy,
flowers, and presents too numer-
Gus to mention, and she is so gen.
erous of all her nice things
Thursday:-Tuesday night |
went to bed with a wretched cold
contracted on deck, l think. DR..
Hume bathed my head and face,
and dosed me with instructions
to remain in bed all day Wednes-
day, which l did. Mary Fairbank
got hot water bag to my feet,
and slept all night and all day
Wednesday, except when the
stewardess brought my meals.
Everybody couldn't be kinder.
To.d day | feel finely and mean to
write TO the home folks. The of.
ticers say this has been a re.
markably smooth passage; and
to think none but Mrs. Lee have
been seasick.
London, November 23;-I can
scarcely realize that | am actual.

cd Tillbury Docks at 2:30 p. M,
we could not land till 6, and
reached Wildes' Hotel only to find
they had not reserved rooms for
us this week ; so off we trotted in
a four wheeler to the Euston
Square Branch. We have just
finished supper at 1925 p. M,
aud are in our rooms, so tired We
can scarcely wait to get to bed
We have such nice rooms, and
may remain few days. 1 just
must slip this note in TO let you
know We reached "Lullon town
safely. Mary f, Ethel Putney
