Through ii Europe
Joseph Zunich and family ar
rived last Friday from a four
months trip through Europe, |
during which time they saw not
|onlysthe scenes of their earlier
lives, and many of their rela-
|tives, but also saw some Of the
most interesting sights inI
Europe. Mr.. Zunich gave the
Inter. Ocean an interesting ac-
count Of his trip. which is re-
produced below. Sailing from
New York, they had an unevent-
ful voyage, except three deaths,
on the pas age, two of the corpses
being buried at sea. One Of
the saddest scenes he ever wit
messed was the pleading Of the
mother of one the dead children
not to cast the body in the sea.
Arriving at Queenstown, Ireland,
they went to Liverpool, and from
there to Grimsby, where they
sailed for Ham burg. On this
voyage they saw the Russian
war fleet which had recently had
the sensational encounter with
the fishing traWlers o n the Dog
ger Bank. They also crossed
the point where the trouble
arose. From Hamburg, they
went to Hanover, where they
visited Mrs. Zunichs sister,
dropping in upon her without
any announcement. After
spending some time in this city,
they travelled through Austria.
stopping on the way at Dresden,
Ticheten, Prague, and Vienna.
Here Mr.. Zunich had an encount-
er with Ballamy Storer, Ameri-
can ambassador. Mr.. Zunich
wanted passports from the Em-
bassador, and as the hour for re-
Iceiving the public had passed,
the secretaries refused to admit
him, but he took the matter in
Ibis own hands, insisted on his
American rights and pushed in
to the ambassador. He stated
| his wants, and when an attempt
/ was saade to put him off until
1.-The following day, he began US
ling some vigorous English, and
like all North Dakotans, got just
what he wanted.
| After visiting at Agrain, Mr..
Zunich arrived at KronstandU on
Christmas eve. Going to the.
home of his aunt who had cared
for him after the deathsof his
mother, he asked for a handout.

Mrs. Zunich disclosed their i'd nj

coming had been sent, the scene
was an affecting one. Here the
visitors stayed two months, en-

had been absent for sixteen.
years. AT Fluma, the scenes
were visited where Mr.. Zunich
had once been a sailor, and then
they passed on to Pala where

Another affecting scene was wit.
messed when the traveller was
recognized. The trip through
Italy included Milan, Genoa
and Naples, with a trip to the,
ruined city of Pompeiii. Mr..
Izunich saw some Of the bodies
ldug from the ruins Of that city.
The vases and other vessels are
lperserved in museums. He dug
from the tiled floors of one Of
