it did when we steamed. into New

Reunion Touching.
The reunions when the ship dock
ed were touching, the doctor said.
Hundreds had relatives on board,
and owing. to the very. strict censo-
ship of the cables, it had proven al
most impossible to get any word Of
their whereabouts. Dr.. Quain said
that he himself, had begged, those
who sailed on other boats, before the
Baltic sailed, to, send some word to
Bismarck when. they arrived on
American shores, and many others
adopted the same recourse. The Bal.
tic was fortunate iii not having to
run from German Warships, on her
trip home, as several other. ships
we're obliged to do. Nevertheless.
there was not much sleep en- board,
and a great deal CT Keen anxiety. Il
was reported that the the time the
Baltic crossed, there were "a British
warships in the north Atlantic, q

Crossed 13 Times.
Dr. Quain has crossed the Atlantic

this last trip on the 18th OF June.
He left Liverpool on the return trip
