1t took us no longer to leave Lon
don than 1t had Long Haut. But this
time instead of the quick men, one
was worn with vigils, and the other
sick, whom all Stunned for fear the
plague had laid her clammy fingers
on him.
We skirted the town, especially the
plague-stricken spots in it. We heard
the crier cry. Bring out your dead
a gruesome sound. But more grue-
some was the sight of his cart piled
high with corpses on the way to dump
them into st. Olave's church yard.
Let us hasten out Of that city OF
fearsome sights; grim with its hor-
rors, putrid with its smells and hasten
to the clean, pure atmosphere Of Long
Haul.
The only thing that enlivened us
on the Journey were the remarks upon
the open country made by that cock
ney, Pat the linkman, who had never
been outside Of London.
We reached Long Haut in the even

where were sunsets more brilliant
than in that south country?-threw
it's light upon the windows of the
huts, and the village looked afame.
How pleasantly the smells of the sea
came to our nostrils, after the close
breath of the town! How good its
earthly smell! How good the smell of
the hay in the fields!
We reached the hall and passed into
the kitchen. Before the fire, grooming
over it, sat old Nance, the same as
ever, with perhaps few more wrink-
les added. She did not even start
upon seeing us.

We down while I see to your bed and
give you something decent to eat"
and she mothered me like I were
babe. I laughed for Joy at being
home again.

A MAN IN A BATH
HELD THE KOREA
VESSEL DID NOT PASS QUARAN-
PASSENGER IMMERSED HIMSELF

If one man and one bath could detain
a big steamer like the Korea an hour,
how long would the steamer have been
detained If the 800 people aboard the
vessel were taking 1900 baths? This is
the problem that Captain Seabury Of
the Pacific Mail liner is going to figure
out between here and san Francisco.
The big steamer would have passed
quarantine an hour earlier this morn
ing on her arrival from the Orient had
not one of the passengers taken It into
his head to go into a bath just about
the time that he should have been lined
up with the other passengers going
through an inspection by the quardn-
tine doctors. The passenger who is
not enjoying the best Of health did NOT
get to sleep until very late last night.
When called on the arrival of the ves-
sci off the island he allowed himself TO
fan asleep and then when he awoke
second time, went into the bath instead
OF hurrying to the line. The result was
the vessel was not passed until nearly
o'clock. Captain Seabury was very
angry. The passenger was very sor-
rowful over the affair but promised
never to take a bath again If he would
only be excused.
1t has been threatened to try ana
have the next violator put into quaran-
tine by the marine hospital officials.
