ringing and loud talk and knew that
we were in for it.

women were in a state of excitement.
After making a poor attempt at dress
ing, they appeared to gain control Of
themselves, when assured by the off,
GERS tina they had plenty of time.

We stood by the steamer according to
instructions from the captain, when q
heavy fog shut down and we put out
