nautical life convinced shin) that he

sea sickness with which he was af-
flicted. With the practical geometry
and marine surveying he had learn-
ed at sea to aid him, he turned his
attention to Sanaa surveying, engin-

success,

(Again, when their ship called at
the 'Isle of Wight, Mr. 'and Mrs. ,Ho-
ward were - very sick and therefore
dtterniued to remain on shore as
tons; as we could," his dairy explain:,
Since it was intended that the ship
should lie there over night, Mr. and
11rs,HHowrard slept ashore Next day
they reached: the docks in time to
see 'their ship setting sail and again
they had to chase it in a small boat.
But the captain, too, had been left
behind, ,o 'the "Alex" tacked about
until he caught up in another small
boat Irate that afternoon
So )entirely was the voyage 70
mules was ae average days rite—that
the passengers were able to enjoy -
side trips in small boat,. X011 the 4th
of 'jay Mr, Howard records: "Went
out in a boat and shot a puffin with
my rode and one of our party caught
a very curious fish, Our boat became
so leaky that we could scarcely keep
her afloat, so we put 'back to the
ship to get another. II then took my
double-barrelled shot -gun and we
went in chase of some divers, one of
which T shot. 'We were so intent on
our sport that we did not observe
that a breeze had sprung up and
looking ho'un'd for the ship we found
she 'had swilled -at least ,five miles from
us."
'As the gale freshened and the
ship was driven 'frees. view', terrible
sea sickness overcame Howard and
he records that he crawled into the
:bow of the 'boat to "lie beside the
doctor," They were a hundred -111i1es
from nearest land, .and the boat had
sprang a leak, The little party " 'had
almost -resigned themselves to death
when the last rays of the setting sun
glinted again on their ships sails,
showing that she hada -pet about and
was returning for them.
Duly- six days later a "bathing
party- put out in the email boat with
much spirits aboard." Neither Mr.
nor \Lrs. Howard was of the number.
\\'hes: night fell the- boat had not re-
turned, and it 0100 not fatted until
early the next morning after having
been absent for .18 hours.
Things were dull aboard the "Em-
peror Alexander" for a few days and
then, when she was three weeks out
from :E'ngladrd, Mr, Howard awaken-
ed early to (find the s'l'ip in hands of
an'utineea's. "We were awakened by d0
terrible thumping on deck and a cry
of 'fire, fire: The captain rushed
upon the -deck in his shirt, hind part
before, ran to the fore chains, seized
the ringleader, dragged ,aft and rope -
ended hint.' A lot of them ran to the
rescue of the ratan and got the cap-
tain down. They declared they could.
work the shin themselves. One of
them 10108 about to strike the cap-
tain, but the mate seized him and
the captain regained his feet, He ord-
ered the sailors to furl all the sails,
telling• tine rioters they - might set
tlieut again, for he would not make
any sail until all leas quiet, This had
the desired effect and restored peace
in about two hours."
"We—sly wife and: myself—we're
both very un'well, '1 kept my pistols
and guns loaded by the bedside, as
we expected to hear the ruffians come
clown the cabin steps, for a set of
greater blackguards Bever sailed out
of England.
)'hen es if it were but a small
thing as compared with the clay',
other excitement, he records int a
final brief sentence, "Toward even -
Mg it blew a gal° .and curried away
the fore tot gallant and royal masts."
1On 'August 1,, a .month atter svl
in;, the ship sighted land, and tett
dans later they were in the Gulf of
St. Lawrence. lint their troubles were
not over. That eve'piteg Mr. Howard,
attracted to the deck by a great cam -
motion, found the .captain and bath
mates drutil , and the shit) beim
.driven fast toward -a great reef at
facts. "We had three goad boats,
but they would have been crowded
and <w'a:niped, for there were - ,162
persons On board, and a great many
of then' very bad characters. Ie
about 'half an hour the wind came
off the land, and ire found ourselves
sailing, as it were, out of the jaws
of death," says the CHary,
When they took the pilot on board
they 'learned that there was a ohol-
era plague at (Quebec, which surely
didn't 'brighten the 'Canadian pros-
pects for the 'Howtards. The ,salve
day bur: Howard went ashore near
'A'nticos'ti Island, and what he ex-
pected Canada to be like is revealed
in his diary, where he records that
'We were well armed, and art first
the 'walloed about with great caution,..
expecting 'to see wild beasts and nox-
ious reptiles, but seeing nothing of
the sort after several hours, we gain-
ed confidence. The 'mosquitoes and
sand flies, though, annoyed us dread-
fully, and OUT faces were covered
with bites,"
Oar 'Auggst 216, the . ship gained
Grosse Isle and anchored, waiting in
q,earantiee. INcar her was the "Min-'
erva." As Mr, 'Howerct and a armee
of his fellow -passengers watched!
helplessly from 111x' vessel, a stead
boatload of the Mutcrva's passengers

as their boat became tangled in the
davits topes. "We could see upwards
of +30 persons struggling in the water,
only nine of whom were sated. The
agony we felt at not being able to
render assistance—all our boats were
ashore—was extreme. Then one of
our boats, returfti.ug from shore, went
to their assistance, and succeeded in
picking up four.'
On ;September 11' their two -months'
voyage ended 115 they landed at Que-
bec, and 00 the eighth they left
Montreal "by court) and steamier for
York,"
They '+ended from the steamer
"William the Fourth" at York on
September 11.4, 1183I2, eleven tvecks and
three days front London, Here was
to he the scene of early difficulties
end later successes. The Hawards,
believing a sitser of Mfrs, Howard to
Blare settled neat 'Godcrich, were go-
ing to join her there, But there was
110 need,
"After landing iI began to enquire
the best mode of reaching Godcrich,"
Mr, Howard say., "Going up C'hurc'h
street from the landing place, I was
very Hutch astonished to see ina
huckster's window a -very handsome
carving knife and fork for sale, which
II had made any brother-in-law a'Pres-
ent of before he left England. Going
into the shop, judge of my surprise
to find my wife's sister, whom 'I be-
lieved to be in Goclericb, 'She looped
hell stared. She had lost .one chill
and the other was in a wretched
'tate,"
The .Howard's Inst winter in York
was a wretched one, _Tate only ac-
commodation they could secure was,
"only a garret with a skylight in the
roof, and 't'hat nearly always covered
with snot., and no fire in the room,'
Meth my poor wife and thyself ant-
lered very much 'front the severe
Weather."
(But spring brought hope. In the

STEAMING FISH IN
PARCHMENT PAPER
'Chatting the oilier day about dif-
ferent methods of cooking fish foods.
Mrs, Evelyne Spencer, cookery s90
eialist of the !Dominion Department
of Fisheries. pointed out that the
body- juices give each variety of fish
its own distinctive • flavour and that
any method which allows these juicee
to be lost Hurst mean a less flavour pts
dish, "That is cute reason,” she .said,
"w ley I like to steam fish in parch-
'm'ent paper gather than simply to
steam it over an open: kettle. As they
,team out of the fish the juices are
held \eaten the parchment sheet and
they may thea be poured neer the
tier
when it is put on the platter for
serving and the favor which they
give may thus be retained. Or, in-
stead of pouring them over the fish
itself, they .may: be added 10 00010 de -
{sired sauce which is to be served
I'it t
w h the mead 1 1 some ons the smal-
ler communities,' Mrs. Spencer went
on, "it may not always be possible to
pbtain parchment paper but where
it is available the housewives wftl
fined it very handy tot- lie.h steaming."
fust then Mars, 'Spencer's coan-
paion broke in with a confession and
0 'question
"1 never tried using parc'hnlent
Paper jn just the way you suggest.
How should .T go about it?"
"It's realty- very easy," )'Irs. Spen-
cer reviled, "Suppose you have two
pauiids -of fresh 'fillets. Cnt them into
serving portions, allowing' about
'three to a pownd, acid then 'get your
steamer rcacly Iby Lining the -bottom
and sides with a sheet of vegetable
• perelemen't paper. It\ colander with a

steamer, by the' way. Haring put in
the paper, place the fillets on it, one
layer deep, sprielete them With plen-
ty df salt, some pepper, and two
which will keep the juices withfar.
Place the steamer over a pot of boil-
ing water and leave it there for ten
of 'fifteen tttieutes, the length of time
depending, on the thickness of the
liliets,
"When the tseamer is • removed
front the pot the pieces of 10511 w :d
be found swimming in their own
jukes which have been 'held inside the
parchment. els iI have said, they may
be poured over tate fish on the platter
or added to asauce. :And I a'lway's
sprinkle a tablespoonful of finely
minced parsley over the fish, toe. It
adds esenethin,9 both to the appear-
ance and the flavor of the dish."
