off, after which we had lunch and
brisk walk on deck. By the
way, the stewards have such a.

stand them only by listening
closely. Indeed the greater part
of the first class passengers must
be Scotch by the look Of their
names on the passenger list. l
enjoyed reading my numerous
steamer letters this afternoon,
and, also, the opening of a box of
"Iluylers !"
