The ocean voyage of 4,300 miles begins at the 1914 parallel of north latitude and Ynlo1anla lies at 35 degrees 20 minutes north. By goitre further north, where the degrees of loneitude are shorter, the obstante across is lessened and the curia Mg line of the ship's course may run as high es 52 degrees. Once the Partite passed near t•, the shores of A']tu Teland and heard "dm wolf's long howl," as all Atku is a blue -fox ranch, where those animals ore raised by !'undretle for their pelts. Crossing the line is the great in- cident of a Pacific voyage and the 180th meridian that marks the division be. amen the Eastern and Western hemi0- pheree and is the exact antipode of Greenwich, lies about live days orf the .lapaneee coast. In going out to Japan te day IS dropped 1'utu the calendar and in going eastward the day is doubled. One gees to bed of 'Monday night end walcens on Wednesday moraine, or, on the return trip; he arises to live over again and repeat the incidents of the day before. On account of ship's dia. oipline, certain privileges and routine •lubes ,1 the crew belonging to Sunday, that day is seldom dropped or doubled, and if the meridian is horsed on that day r,oties is rarely paid it. Convivial passengers celebrate the crossing of the line and the exact monleu1 of transit is always known. The imaginative are hidden to feel the grating of the ship's keel over the meridian and 10 sec the line itself through a marine glass that has It cobweb thread morose one leeso. The uphill of the voyage is over and the dement down hill from the great meri- dian, out of the West curl into the Bast i0 begun. Wenn the ship gots es far west as 180 degrees east front Greenwich the 015(3101 and ]roister air of the Japan Str0,11n is felt and if 14 be in the summer months the traveller will be glad to have some lighter clothing at hand. Other- wise he needs the tame warm and sor• vmeable clothing in the North Pacific as in the North Atlantic.
