the details of the stay on Nebnla. Let
IT sufice to say that We had to wait there
twelve hours for the United States TO get
back to MS. In the meantime food was
cooked and served. Then, when Calf
fornia was just rounding the edge of the
earth from the west, we lifted anchor and
perary farewell TO our little world. for
we all fully determined that this should
not be our only trip there. The journey

Into the garnet we went, where he dug
ont of n corner a fine hand telescope,
which he carried TO the dormer window
on the east side. Swinging 1t into a posi-

It. then adjusted II again, screwed IL

AT the end of the third hour, I noticed
a remarkable thing ana called the attention
of one Of my companions to 1t. Hitherto
the earth had, as l have said, been a blue
gray blot beneath us. 1t now appeared
part blue and part pale gray. the latter color
being toward the west: and, as 1 interested
my other fellow travellers In the sight, the
western portion Of the eolored map was
seen to grow larger as the eastern portion
diminished In size. None OF my companions
could account for the phenomenon. The en-
tire field Of our vision was changing, until
now 1t seemed that only a portion Of the
old familiar blue remained, the pale gray

evidently passed beyond the mountains and
were above a broad plain.
Immediately beneath MS now was a per-

surrounding blue ocean, and we could none
