A TRIP TO BERMUDA.

It vas on January s. IS. freezing cold winter
afternoon that We boarded the steamer Ornoco. TO
take trip to Bermuda It was so cold that water
fr0ze on the deck Of the vessel and had to take
our friends down IN the cabin to get warm and TO
say goodby. The next day I was on deck early.
As the morning wore away the wind began TO blow
at q terrific rate. and the waves 10 rise higher
and higher Shortly. one by one the passengers
disappeared below Toward night the boat pitched
so violently that was forced 70 seek help in order
TO reach my stateroorn in safety
On, what night I spent. 7 heard loud thumps
J,pon deck as Il they were shooting off cannons.
The screw came out Of the water and shrieked, and
made the vessel sniveT from stem 70 stern. I
heard the next morning that we had been running
IN the teeth Of d great storm. Some cattle on
board had been killed, and the captain had turned
back for many miles 10 avoid any greater danger
The thuraps had heard were the huge waves drop
ping on the deck
sunday morning was a lovely day There was q
gentle breeze, and the ocean lay calm, rejecting
the clear blue Of the sky. In the evening the
MON rose full and bright At 10 o'clock & white
speck suddenly appeared on the nconlit waters
