The not- ed Bowery, aud The White Star Wharf, from, which our boat, the Ger- manic, sailed, Next morning about 11 ` -o'clock, we went on board aiid 2 p. m. the highest buildings of the Island City had disappeared from sight. As soon as we reached the swell of the Atlantic it was surprising the nuDaher of people who went to the railing of the boat, whether they admired the deep blue water, or enjoyed the stimu- lating salt sea breeze, is a question, but one thing I °'do" know and this is, I soon joined them and oh! what a time, in the ,rain too, for we had a short shower just then. Its then, Dan you think, '° There's no plaice like home " and no wonder. I had it, <. once is enough for tine." That's the time, you give away anything, every- thing, (except your boot & shoe laces). not because you want to, but for the simple reason you have to, and its no joke either, at least, I thought so, and judging from the 'appearance of the majority of the people on board, I think everyone of them wou]cl endorse mysentiments. tit ):rents. T overheard a person remark, " That being sea -sick was just temporary " and that after effects were splendid, but its "just perma- nent " enough for me, thank you, and. I am just now getting a photograph of being well, At 4.45 p.m. we passed the Majestic, one of the largest aiid fastest boats on this line and with the exception of seeing a few sailing bar- ges, we passed no other ship of any consequence, until within a few hours' of QueenstonSouth Ireland. In the morning (Thurs.) we were awakened, (if we slept at all) by the blowing of the fog -horn on board, and I no sooner got on deck, than I,' with others (oh, but that was one consolation,) com- menced nay preliminary duties, of feeding the fish, and this privilege is apt to make one feel, quite Light in ones head -almost aerial iu fact.

The speed of the vessel was barred considerably by a dense fog, which lasted most of the voyage but yet our average speed per day was about 385 miles. The ocean was quite calm and the captain said this was the warmest voyage the ship had had for two years, but the fog, was bad all the time which made the trip sometimes monotonous. At 9 a.m.; every day, the steerage passengers are all order- ed on deck, while their *sleeping and eating apartment are swept and wash- out, and they more than need it. Af- ter five hundred people (of such a mix- ed class as the steerage passengers are) use it very long. There are three berths in our cabin and the third bunk is occupied by Wm. Dudden of New York. Billy and I, both being on the , sick -list were very successfully treated by "Dr. "' Walters, with a favorite prescription and " Cure-all of his, as a remedy for all aches, pains, and throat diseases, the latter of which, Billy is seriously afflicted with. But in return for his services we, have " to take considerable bossing and also act as porters or valets in case he needs anything.

On Sunday the Rory ,n Catho- lies were the only denomination ; that held service, and they only had a short 'meeting in the morning, but there was singing all over the boat all day. The principal amusements we hav on board are quoits, pitching coppers and rings, and sometimes there is some dancing among the sailors. The con- certina is the instrument - they sing and dance to. One thing on board struck me veryforciblyfor cib1Y and that was the high esteem the English sailors had for our Canadian boys in South Africa, or threethesailors 'had e n Two oft) been out there on transport ships shipsandwere ` the thev4` g highestgp21 om all quarters of the ipraise British army navy. nae .
