Some are playing quoits on deck, others putting rope rings over a pin, others playing cards and many found amusement in the music room in singing songs, story -telling, etc. Many put in their time in walking on deck and in conversation. Many people, who were returning to the Old Land,commented favorably on our coun- try. We heard one man say, "He did not think Ontario lacked one thing to make it the bust country under the sun." His companion said :—"Only her beastly cold winters." From Saturday morning when we left Runouski until Friday evening the Bavarian appeared to have the ocean all to herself, as in all that time all that was to be seen, apart from the blue ocean water, was a vessel in the die• tanoe, a large iceberg, and one large whale that made his appearance within five feet of the side of the Lavarian. This did not in any way dampen the happy spirits of tbe passengers in the second cabin, as we were having such a pleasant passage. On the whole voy- age from Montreal to Liverpool, there was no more ripple on the water than is to be seen on our own Maitland River, and on only one night were we bothered with fog, and then only for a few hours.
