OCEAN TRAVEL IN
1.-THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

In these days of luxury and speed
in ocean travel, when for passenger
liner to be a dav late would cause al
most a panic ashore, one can recall,
almost with amusement how it was
some fifty years or so ago, when a
delay of even week was not thought
much of, as evidenced by the follow
ing extract from an article in Truth
(London), of January 5, 1898, writ
ten by the late Henry Labouehere:
81 remember above thirty years
ago crossing the Atlantic in steamer
of the Collins Line { a line that has
disappeared for many a day, but
which used to be rival of the
Cunard Line). Somewhere on the
Newfoundland Banks the machinery
broke down. II was so foggy that
nothing could be seen, and the cap
tain told us that it would take sever
al days to mend what was broken,
when we should go on, if we did not
run ashore before, which, he kindly
assured us, was not improbable. For
few hours we talked to each other
in solemn whispers, as though we
were taking part at our own funerals.
But habit is everything, and we soon
left our destiny to Fate-ate, drank,
sang, read and played at cards, as
though no danger threatened us. We
arrived at Liverpool about week af.
ter we were due. There had been no
anxiety in regard to us, or-what
was, of course, of far more import
ance-about the ship or its cargo,
We had started, we were supposed to
be making our way to Liverpool, and
whether we arrived a week late or
when due was regared as mere de
tail of the VOYAGE.

]. N. DAVIS RETlRES
FROM SOUTHERN PACIFIC

J. M. Davis, general superintend-
ent on the lines of the Southern Pa
eific for the past seven years, has
rendered his resignation, and VIII
leave San Francisco alb ut the first
of the year to become general man
aegr for an eastern railroad. The
name of the line to which Davis goes
has not yet been divulged
Davis has been with the company
as general superintendent in the Cen
tral district for three and half
years, having previously occupied
like position for the same length OF
time under the old Hartman system,
at Salt Lake City, when certain por-
tions of the Southern Pacific, Oregon
Short Line and Union Pacific were
operated under one organization.
He entered railway service IN
1883 as freight brakeman on the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass rail
way; since which time he has been
eonsecutively stenographer to the SUI
perintendent of the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe; chief clerk to the SUI
perintendent of the Mexican Central
railway at Tampico, Mexico; chief
clerk in office of the marine superin'
tendent, Northern Steamship com

Davis is one of the youngest gen
eral superintendents in the country;
and while he has host of friends IN
