possible to do on every voyage. but just
before leaving the boat at Colombo We
came into g OutaCt with a tourist who q
longed to the genus hog.
TOURIST or THE GENUS hoo.
Our boat arrived between 8 and 0 in
the evening, and the porters informed W.
tina the hotels were full, but thu we could
obtain rooms in the morning. a. a number
would leave on our chip. ! stated the case
to the captain, and he assured mo that We
were welcome TO remain on board until
morning.
Just as nv wife and daughter we're re-
firing a man came on board. followed by
a lot of baggage, and directed his porter
to put it in our room ! explained to him
that rot being able to find acc~ommodations
on shore we had obtained permission to
OCCUPY the room until morning, but he
brusquely replied that he had engaged
the room two months before and must
have 1t.
called his attention to the fact that the
boat was late IN reaching port and would
not leave until nearly noon the next day.
and suggested as politely as | could that
the captain wa the proper person to de-
eide whether he was entitled to claim the
room under the circumstances. Without

ard and demanded that the ladies' be moved
to another room, although another room
was placed at his disposal for the night.
1t required some plain, straightforward
and emphatic language to bring him to
the point where he was willing to occupy
a different room temporarily, and | I'M
afraid that he still regards Americans
as very rude and uncouth creatures. He
is, however, the first man whom ! have
met 40 far who would claim as n right I
that to which he was not entitled and then
demand the enforcement of the assumed
ri light without regard to the convenience
of others.
A BURIAL AT SEA.
On the last mentioned trip We witnessed
a burial at sea, the first that has occurred
during our voyage. One Of the passengers
died after we left Singapore and We learned
of it while the funeral services were in
progress. /
The corpse was enclosed in a black
~(weighted) coffin, in which several holes
were bored. The ship slackened it's speed,
and as the band played a funeral dirge the
body was slowly lowered.
Upon reaching the water it foated back
a short distance and then disappeared. ,
1t was a sad sight to see the remains of IA
human being consigned to a watery tomb,
with nothing to mark his resting place;
and yet he does not sleep alone, for In this
mighty ocean sepulchre myriads lie buried
nd the waves moan above them a requiem
as sweet as that sung by the trees to those
who rest upon the land.
