At last we have left the narrow confines of
the steamship and are on dry land, ready to
commence the hardest part of our trip Here
it is o:3o Monday night, and we have yet
to pass through the English customs before
we will be allowed to go to Chester.
Foreign Baggage Customs.
We are directed up long passage and told
to turn to the right, when reach the end.

in large room, filled with baggage and noise.

and handed it to a man as we passed out
of the ferry house. The boat passed directly
under the bow of the Mauretania, and she
certainly looked like some large building.
Numerous lights showed along the river and
in the distance could be seen a large electric
sign giving the of a seaside amusement
park.
The boat soon started and in about three
minutes had us on the opposite shore. We
had three minutes to get train and
totally ignorant of English railroad condi
-tions Before left the Mauretania we were
given small piece of white cardboard which
was very poorly. printed This cardboard,
which proved to be ticket was to take us
from Liverpool to London, good for two
months and allowed stop-overs at any sta

meant about two yards of paper ard much
trouble as possible.

to point yours out. The officials are very
polite and will move all the trunks in the room
until you find your own. l think if they had
this method in America, you would see man
trunks in sight. In England a very heavy
penalty IS imposed anyone who takes an
others baggage and there are very few of
such cases record.
Leaving Trunks.
We took a trunk with us, and each car
ried large suit case. In the trunk placed
our steamer rugs and all other things that
would not be needed until return voyage.
The trunk then sent to our London hotel
to await our arrival after which it would be
shipped to Southampton and there be put
aboard our return steamer
We found the customs inspector to be a
very mild man, who simply asked us whether
we had any spirits or tobacco. We answered
in the negative and asked to open the
trunk He simply looked at the inside and
then marked the rest of our luggage and we
were free to leave.
A Glimpse of Chester.
As there is very little of interest in Liver
Through the kindness of acquaintance who
had travelled extensively an itinerary was
made out, which gave the amount of time
to spend in each place, the hotels to stop at,
the principal points of interest, the time we
were to leave, and, in short, was complete
guide book and timetable.
Accordingly we started for the ferry, which
was to take across the Mersey river to the
railroad station. Here we first noticed the
difference between American and English
methods. The ferry-boat, instead of landing
passengers at either end, had to be tied up
TO the dock and landed them from side.
These boats exactly like an ordinary
steamboat, and built for speed. Instead
of buying ticket before going on we
bought it after we landed on the other side

we moved. At last there was another bump,
much worse than any we had felt before, and
the car stopped, The boy opened the door
and we followed him to rooms After
that experience we always preferred to use
the stairs.
Our rooms were very large and we'll lighted
bv electricity, and faced the railroad station.
We were soon in bed but not in the land
of dreams. Chester is sort OF terminal
station and nume1 Gus trains pass through dur
ing the night. Every train blows its whistle
as much as possible and the noise they made
now was much greater than what we had
heard before. We got used to them in about
half an hour and the next thing | knew, II
was nine O'Clock Tuesday morning.

What a difference between American break

us large dish of rolls, coffee and

rest of the breakfast On asking the

Immediately did and soon our hunger was
appeased. We soon, got used to these kirds
of breakfasts, for they very popular all
over Europe and it is sometimes hard to get
anything else.
An Old Roman Well.
leaving t the hotel we walk up p, City Road
come to the East Gate of the old Roman
Wall. At very early date the Romans form
ed camp at this place and a town quickly
grew about it. The Roman name for camp
was castrum and this gradually changed to
Chester and the town got its name. To
protect themselves from invasion by the wild
northern tribes the Romans built wall
around the city This wall was built of red
sandstone and from time to time has been
down and rebuilt until now only the
north and east sides of Roman construc-
ton. The wall is from six to eight feet in
width and about two miles around path
way runs along the top and by making the
circuit one obtains a very good idea of the
city In some places the wall is forty feet
hich and makes a complete ring about the
city
Ascending to the top of the wall we walk
north and the first object we see is the Ches
ter Cathedral. This church is built of red
sandstone and is a very interesting building
On its site church has stood since the year
SIS. Continuing along the wall we next reach
the Phoenix Tower. This tower is very well
preserved and an inscription over the door
reads follows Upon this tower Septem

the battle. Leaving the tower. rext come

if the train were

room and as we
didn't know what else
to do we got in also.
We were quickly put

called out, "All

as if we were to be

To get on an Eng

Then you open the
door and get in. Our
tickets were first

at the beginning of
the train. AS we did
not wish to be left,
we ran along the
platform yelling for
"first-class for Ches-

seconds people were

car windows, won

we were greeted with
