have cliurned the Atlantic into fury in
many winters. got into port to-day with
visible scars Of conflict to re-enforce the
yarns Of passengers who supposed be
fore they sailed that the biggest and
stoutest OF modern liners were exempt
from the impolite attention OF Capt. Nep-
tune.
In the steerages Of the merchant squad
ron were 5.6ls passengers nearly all aliens
seeking fortune in the New World, and
in three cabins there were Isis voyagers
chiefly returning Americans who. as a
whole. lamented the attitude Of Europe
toward their country in her temporary
financial stress.
The influx OF work-seekers Indicated 10
the Yankee observers in the cabins that
there was still some industrial depression
on the other side. and that the outgoing
aliens might wish they had not gone

seen the ocean in more angry mood in
fifteen years or more. and the passengers
declared that the dining saloon was al
