 wireless daily, but this was suddenly stopped and the Ocean Times, a daily paper, ceased to afford us information relating to the progress of the war. This did not in any sense contribute | to our comfort as we were denied the information which was, the most en- crossing topic of the day, but to our astonishment and wonder our course was suddenly changed in the night, when within two days sail of New York, and it became known that our l destination was to be Halifax, N. s., because of information received from the British Cruiser Essex, that our vessel was being waited for outside | of New York harbor by unfriendly war ships.
 The changing of our course was not conducive to comfort as we immediate ly ran into dense fog which contin-

 casion was rendered more acute by
 reason of the gravity of the situation
 and the possible dangers of shoals and
 of running down of fishing craft in
 the vicinity of Sable Island, over which
 we ran at high speed and without fog

Our responses were hearty, but fell far short of the real gratitude the occasion demanded. Thus we en- tered the harbor of Halifax as cousins royal and more satisfied with the re- lationship than could be expressed in any other way than that of cheering the flag that had given us such a welcome.
 Our future we were not able to see but concluded that as our ship was harbored in safety we would be trans ported to our several destinations by train, but in this we were dfsappoint- ed, as no complete arrangements could be made for our transit, and s1bse- quently we were informed that we would proceed to New York by the steamer Cedric. Much anxiety was again experienced as our course lay in the dreaded zone through which ed that we would be guarded bx inc distance of New York the encounter ing of an enemy was not so grave an outlook as it might at first sight ap-
