TiE STEERAGE AND TiE STORM.
It was the day after the rough .se when
I
we were shown threugh the steerage , and the
women and children were still huddled In
their gloomy hunk rooms , recovering slowly
from the seasickness or the previous day.

the sea Is rough , one may experience the

the sensation of falling. The Occupants oC
this rough quarter arc a rough looking lot ,
but apparently as happy as cowboys. Every

have In th stoke room have klmmel four

Just back of time sailors are the otores.

all the pipes are covered with frost. Time
large ships all have Ice machines and male
their own Ice There are also two large
evaporators , so that If the supply oC drink-

In any way become tmnflt for use . drinking
water could be made from the sea. The
same evaporators could easily supply water

supply run Olt ,
Two things I should like to change : The
tons oC wholesome food , delclols meats amid
delicate sweets that are carried mona the
delcate
tables and thrown Into the sea , I would gIve
to the poor steeragers. Every day at dinner ,
when the lamps' made the main saloon a
glare oC light , I could see the e per people
peeping In at the windows where the tables
were Crelghted with good things , and It made
me sad. Sometimes a mother would hold
her poor , plnchEd-Caced baby up to the win-
dow , anti I couldn't help wondering what
answer that mother would make If the baby
were to ask why they didn't go In ant cat.
After maltng the steerage happy I should
like to rig n governor to time main shafts , 50
that the screws would not "cup up" so when
out of waler I mentloncd this to my

a moment ; then , as he allowed his head to
dip slightly to the starboard , a sunny smIle
broke over his kindly face and he replied :

WB.LSON AND LOWELL.
About this time I was havlng a pleasant
corresllondenco with Colonel John S. Moaby
the partisan leaden who had given the
union forces In Virginia a good teal of an-
noyance. Mosby Is I cultivated man , anti
hIs letters were exceedingly interesting and
wel written , giving me very graphic ImIc-
( urea of time ' war along the Polomac One
morning I received otis from him or five or
six closely written pages detailing his
various encounters with Colonel Charles
Russell Lowell , or whom he spoke with
bight respect , saying he was the only federal -
oral officer who ever gave him serious
trouble. Colonel Lowell was a nephew oC
James Russell Lowell , amid meeting time latter -
ten In Boston 1 few hours after the receipt
of the letter . I mentioned It to him , ant
at his urgent request promised to send It
over to his house on my return to Cam
bridge
I was detained In Boston a considerable
time , and whell I got to lY house I found
Lowell extended at full length upon the
lounge In my library , and Wison near br ,
reclining In an oldCashlonet rocltng chair ,
his feet upon the corer of my writing
table , and both so absorbed as scarcely to
observe my entrance Lowell was the first
to speal Assuming an upright attitude , he
said : "Pardon my making so free with I
your sanctum , but thc fact Is , Forceythe
has been on his high Jinks roaming among
the clouds like that old woman who went
up on a broomstick. "
Wison laughed , saying : "I didn't observe
that the trip tool away YOlr breath. "
" \Vell , It did ; your high nghts always do.
But they are always lnterestltmg. You havc
such a charming way oC puling things. nut

After rereading the letter he said to me. ,
"Let mo take this. I would like to show I
to his mother and widow , and somnq others ,
of Limo family. " Then acer sOle further
conversation he rose to leave when Wison
said to him "Don't go ; Mr. Longfellow will

to see that loter.
"Has be agreed to come ? He's very busy
with the proofs of Dante. "

Lowel resumed his scat , observing Wison
curiously , but saying nolhlng. In 1 few mln-
utea a rap came at the front door and hlr-

Mr Lowell had given hIm the cuslomary
greeting he turned to Wison , saying , "Now
