She ran and ran until the hotel was
out of sight. At last the dog stopped
and she turned to go home, but she
found that she had gone long way
from the hotel and she could not find IT,
She tried to find her way back, but only
went farther from the right direction.
At last she saw one of the hotel bell
boys, and he took her back to the hotel
The next hour they all started for
their long voyage across the Atlantic
1t took six days, which seemed very
long to the children. Their Cousin Kate
said that they might make up some
story, so they all sat in a circle. They
began with Mrs. Hopkins and went
around the circle, each adding some
new part to the story. The mothers
gave entertainments for the children
on the ship.
1t would have been better if they had
started later because the sea was rather
rough. The first day Jessie had sort
of headache which turned into seasick-
ness. Her mother fixed up a bed near
the large glass windows where she
could look out upon the ocean.
1t seemed as if they had been a year
on the steamer Jessie got tired of her
bed and the children were tired of their
games.
At last one morning Jessie thought
she saw land. She called her mother,
who said it was land. Soon the rest of
the family rushed out on deck to get
glimpse of this new land. Within
few hours they landed safely on foreign
soil. GLADYS DUNBAR.
