held on to the boat, which was bo-

southern bank of the rivet', and
succeeded in reaching •the shore
and by her aid rescued her coin-

The people in the other boat, in
terrible consternation,. pulled to

Toll and McKay who were work-

A very largo number of people

also procured and search made

travel and labor, in Lyon's o8'ree, Guelph.
They proved to bo real companions and
friends during a journey of over 10,000
miles. We had a very pleasant trip by
train toNew York. Thebeautifnl landscape,
with its undulations of hill and valley, that
lay on either side of the Susquahanna
river, alongside of which we sped, is simply
past description. We arrived in the city at
4 a. m. Next morning we were early on
the move to see as many of the sights as
the time at our disposal would permit,
New York is a grand city, with its ole.

We saw Yanderbiite house and Talmage's
tabernacle, We set sail on the morning of
the 711t of March, and after 11 days of toss-
ing and rocking with the continual heave of
the billowy ocean, we landed in the smoky,
densely populated pity of Glasgow, Scot-
land. We stepped on shore, and had to ex-
pose our baggage to the scrutinizing gaze
of the police officers, who were on the look-
out for dynamite and tobacco. This had
no terrors for ue for we had no emnity
against Queen, Princes, or Parliamentary
men, nor did wo carry the vile weed. One
man when looking over the books we had
turned and asked mo if we were going to
South Africa as phyeioians of body or soul.
I replied a'littlo of both. We visited the
principal ptaoes of interest in Glasgow, and
then wont to Edinburgh. Here, according
'to went oupguide told us, everything is of
historic interest. From the castle, mount-
ed by "Royal 'Megg, ' which buret, firing a
royal salute, to Soott'e monument, which
stands to remind Sootohmen of one of their
great men. In these we were very muoh
interested, as our guide gave us a detailed
account. Edinburgh is really a very fine
city, being much cleaner mud having a pur-
er atmosphere than Glasgow. This cannot
be wondered at when wo remember that
