ny ROTARY ANN

On Board the Cameronla, June 10.- (Special)-Thursday we had our first rough weather. A brisk breeze and a choppy sea soon became a strong gale and roaring main. In striking contrast with the eight previous days of sunshine and calm, 1t Is cloudy. cold and stormy.
 Perhaps the first thought that came to us was the fear of becoming sea sick. Our ship rocked continuously. Mrs. Edmonds attempted to ward off the trouble with Mother Sill" while Mrs. Glenn remembered that Dr. Brooks Forbes had generously sup piled them with a sure cure. Tho children kept consistently in motion themselves and seemed in a way to counteract the motion of the boat. The men relied on psychology, and determined not to be sick.
 All day long the gale blew. More than half the ships passengers were sick.
 Every member of the Birmingham party was at dinner, and laughed a feeble laugh when others were ob- served to hastily leave the dining room.
 After dinner an entertainment had been prepared, but half the perform CTS were unable to appear One of the most amusing stunts was an un- expected turn given to the little drama that Tha was composed of an irate husband, wife. Alice, and gay young man who attempts to win the affection of the wife.
 Irate Husband-"Y have attempt ed to win the affections of my wife"
 Handsome Young Man-"I acknowl- edge 1t, but l have Q right to. She loves me-"
 Husband-"You are & liar"
 (Struggle)
 Young Man-"Let's test it. We will both fire our pistols in the air and fall as If dead. The one she runs to is the one she loves,'
 (Pistol shots, etc.)
 Here Alice was supposed to rush in and exclaim: "Ah, l am glad they are both dead" or something to that ef- feet
 Instead, no Alice appeared.
 The husband wearying of remain- ing dead so long, cried out, Alice. where art thou?"
 Search was instituted and 1t was learned that she had suddenly be- come seasick and could not appear.
 Bert Adams. former international president of Rotary and one of the most popular men on board, delivered the prizes for the athletic contests .t. lal .ff fnr tertainment daily since leaving New York Both Marie Glenn and Arnold Edmonds came In for honors.
 MT. Adams Is a southerner, from Atlanta, and kept the crowd roaring with his negro stories.
 The vessel continued to rock and as good nights were said, 1t was always with a hope, "I'll sec you at break fast"
 The morning came and with it a bright sun and only a gentle breeze. Every member of the Birmingham party was down to breakfast, thus keeping up their unbroken record.
 During the night we had drawn near to the Emerald Isle. and when our eyes caught glimpse of land for the first time, truly 1t seemed just a little bit of heaven"
 I expected to see a flat, level coast line. Instead, there were high hills and precipitous bluffs. But even from a distance we could see the green grass, the even hedge rows. the stone farm houses. the cultivated fields. an occasional fortress
 We made brief stop at Neville, apparently a typical North Irish coast town. Here six Rotarians had come down from Edinburgh to meet us.
 Up the firth Iof Clye, we soon looked upon the shores of Bonnie Scotland. Never more beautitul pr entrancing scene.
 Fortune favored us. Our ship came to anchor at the mouth of the Clyde, where we found as if for our recep- tion. there were anchored about us seven English bulldogs, part or Englands fighting fleet, the greatest navy on earth.
