Things It Will lie Wise to Do.
Special Correspondence!
Washi.noton, July 0. A sen voyngo
from New York to Nassau, tlio capital
of tho Uhainas,'nii(l return is a good
thing lit this season of tho year, and a
good thing nt any season, 1 Bhould think.
1 know it is good in Juno, becnuso 1 lmv.&
tried it. In early summer tho sen is at
smooth as glass. Landsman that I tun,
making my first sea voyngo In Juno, the
present year of our Lord, I nover be
lieved in tho stories which I had heard
of tho calmness of tho great ocean. "As
smooth as glass" had to 1110 always
seemed more than a poet's license, which
is generally u nolito synonym for lie.
Hut tho sea can bo as smooth as glass, at
I discovered to my great astonishment
and delight that Is to say, Its surface
In a two or three days' calm softens and
quiets till not so much as a ripplo re
mains, till n cork could float hour after
hour with Its uppermost end as dry ns
tinder. Of course tho swell of tho ocean
that gentle, undulatory motion never
wholly ceases. It Is eternal.
It was in snch a glassy, peaceful sea
as this that wo mudo tho voyage from
Nassau to Now York a few days ago.
What could bo more delightful than
four or flvo days like thenu, with long,
cool nights to sleep through, with good
company by day, with ravenous appe
tites and tempting cuisine, and with a
right good novel to fall back upon when
you tiro of conversation? My advice to
tho readers of this letter is to take such
a sea voyage if you ever get tlio chance.
It will do yoiyun immense lot of good,
mentally nrid physically. It will broaden
your Ideas of men and things, give you
a now conception of tho majesty of na
ture and tho vastness of the world, and
no doubt ndd a couplo of inches to your
girth and as many years to your career.
There is another thing it will do, and
that is to fill ybu with u now lovo for
tho laud in which you nro sd fortunate
as to live. No matter how quaint and
Interesting tlio foreign lands may bo you
will sing hosanuas of praiso and thanks
when you return to tho United States,
and forevcrmore bo the more content
with your lot, whatever it may bo.
Hero I am writing away for all tho
world like a fichoolgirl about my first
sea voyage, just as if a sea voyngo was
something new or extraordinary, which
of courso it is not. But tho schoolgirl
heaven bless her who goes Into ecstacies
of expression and reams of paper in re
cording her impressions of things new
to her, though old to a majority of man
kind, often builds better than sho knows.
So may I.
For I confess that n voyngo at sea hna
always been u mysterious, a romantic
thing to me. I have read letters of
travel, of voyages, of iersonal exig
ences on tho great ocean galore, and in
nono of them did I ever learn what n sea
voyngo was. Perhaps it is because it is
ono of those- things which cannot bo tie
scribed; possibly it is because tho writers
run over tho little things as too trivial
for their attention, and look for adven
tures and incidents which never come.
1 At any rate, I am going to tell you as
I nearly as 1 can what a sea voyngo an
uneventful, commonplace, overyday sea
I voyage Is, for tho benefit of country
I boys liko myself and country girls, too,
if 1 shall bo fortunate enough to have
them for renders, to whom tho sea is an
I unexplored region.
To start, you buy your passago tickets
of courso. If perclinnce you should con
cludo to go from Now York to Nassau
and return, tho round trip will cost you
seventy dollars. What do you get for
this? Well, eight days' board and lodg
ing, nnd good bonrd nntl lodging they
are, too, and nearly 2,000 miles' travel.
Of courso you will readily perceivo that
this is cheaper than railway travel,
where you pay from two to three cents
a inilo for transportation and extra for
your meals and beds.
When you tako your first ocean voy
ngo do not fall to havo some friends at
the dock to see you off. If you havo no
friends handy hire n messenger boy or
somebody us substitute. That was a
inistnko which I inndo both my friend
and L Every other passenger had a
friend on the dock to wave a handker
chief or something nt him till the
steamer had swung fnr out into tho
North river und was out of sight down
tho harbor. Wo tho nrtist nnd I were
liko two orphnns sailing southward into
tho hot, hot world without n single hand
kerchief waving in our honor, without
ono tear falling over our departure. We
envied tho lucky passengers who had
such attention paid thorn, till wo reached
tho real, great, wide, deep ocean and
tho steamer began to roll and pitch a lit
tle, and our friends who had enjoyed the
great pleasure or waving nnd being
wnveu at began to waver,
queer thing how it camo
don't know but tho only
who were not moro or less
it was n
to be so 1
pns-songorB
seasick the
first evening out wero tho two orphans -
the artibt and myself, Ono by ono the
heroes of tho handkerchiefs began to dis
appear to their staterooms, and finally
all who had turned their noses up at us
nnd treated us with proud disdain be
cause no one had cried salt tears over us
as wo embarked, wero wishing them
selves back on dry land, or even wet
land, just so it was laud that would sit
still. How tho artist and 1 gloated over
our fallen rivals, tho sicker they became,
tho happier we.
But there wero a few flies in our own
ointment at least tho fear of them.
When would our turn come? This was
tho question wo constantly asked our
selves, and tho advice which each gave
to tho other was not to give way to too
much gloating till his stomach had been
moro thoroughly tested. Yet our turn
did not come, aud as tho hours passed
nnd our confidence increased wo renewed
nnd amplified our gloating over tho mis
fortunes of our fellows. Wo were the
Inly passengers to show up nt tho break
.ast table, nud wero ns proud of It as w
fond pnpn of n now nud particularly nice
bnby. l
"All humbug, this seasickness busi
ness," wo exclaimed to tho captain, at
whoso right nnd left wo sat tho seat of
honor in n ship's saloon. "All nonsense;
purely n mental affection. You imagine
you nro going to bo sick, that you nro
sick and you get sick, that's nil. Purely
ft case of will K)ver or tho lack of it."
"You haven't sailed as much ns 1
have," said tho captain, "nnd I'll tell
you something about seasickness which
perhaps you don't know. I havo heard
thousands of men tnlk tho way you do,
nnd beforo tho voyngo was over they
wero in ni bud shape as tho rest of them.
Many men who are not sick tho first day
out catch it tho second, or oven tho third;
nnd tho fellows who fool pretty proud
over their good luck tho first day usually
go down when every ono elso on board Is
coming round all right. Now aud then
wo moot a man who sails sovoral voyages
without getting sick, and then makes
ono perhaps not as rough ns tho others
nud goes nil to pieces. Old snllors are
sometimes tnkon with seasickness for a
voyage. Wo havo a sailor on board this
ship who gots sick ovcry third voyage as
regularly as n rooster crows In tho morn
ing. Ho has laid off a trip, aud then two
trips at a time, to see if it wouldn't
break tho spell, but with no change."
A queer thing about seasickness Is
that every man who suffers with It is
ashamed of it, as if ho had caught tho
Itch or something, and endeavors to con
ceal it till finally ho gots so sick that
prldo and every other feeling and aspira
tion save abject misery and imlifferenco
as to whether ho hides himself in his
stateroom, oximcs his infirmity on deck
or falls overboard have disappeared.
When tho attack first comes on tho vic
tim Inquires for quinlno nud says ho
must havo taken cold, or ho has eaten
something which has disagreed with
him, or lie has smoked too much. Ho
goes to tho table and makes a gallant
but unsuccessful effort to eat as if noth
ing had happened, all for apiearanco
sake, and nibbles aud goes through a
pretense of eating, and turns palo and
suffers agonies till ho thinks ho can
sneak away without being suspected of
tho crimo of seasickness.
Women, on tho other hand, don't try
to conceal their afillctlon. They appear
to glory In It. Tlio nvcrngo woman
thinks a sea voyngo that does not givo
her seasickness is n blank failure. Wom
en passengers don't talk of much elso
as long ns they nro nblo to talk but sea
sickness and how they have been Bick
lieforo and how It feels to feel that it was
a mlstako ever to havo been born. They
are liko children with tho mumps nnd
measles aud a few stono bruises nnd
other sores tho ono with tho longest
record of nfllictions nnd tho most profuse
showing of contusions is tho proudest
nnd happiest.
Tho nearest we camo to seasickness
was n temporary cessntion of Interest in
what now and good things tho cook had
for dinner ono day, nud n unanimous
conclusion, which lasted for nbout twenty-four
hours, that thero is something in
tho flavor of snlt water and salt nir
which takes away tho enjoyment of n
cigar. This was but a faint rumbling
of jwssiblo disaster in storo for us, yet it
was enough to curb our haughty spirits
nnd givo us moro sympathy with tho
nfllictions of our fellow passengers.
If you go to sea don't fail to tako n
stenmer chair with you. Wo had heard
of peoplo buying steamer chairs, but con
cluded they wero idiots trying to put on
stylo and declined to invest. We after
ward wished wo hadn't. Thero may bo
steamships which carry an amplo sui
ply of comfortablo chairs for tho uso of
thetr passengers, but this one didn't,
and wo sat around on coils of ropo and
spars and back breaking stools and bor
rowed chairs till wo wero tired of It.
Don't enter tho captain's stateroom un
less you aro invited to do so. Tho nver
ago captain is a meek enough man on
shore. Meet him on Broadway and ho'll
step into tho gutter to givo you room to
pass, but on board his ship ho is an
other being. Thero ho is lord of all he
surveys, a monarch of absoluto power
between iort aud port, and ho knows it.
Don't ask him questions whilo ho is tak
ing observations; don't disturb him
whilo ho is monkeying with logs and
logarithms if you want to keep on good
terms with him, and you do want to
keep on good terms with him, for you
nro n nobody nt sea, whatever you mny
bo on land, unless tho captain patronizes
you, and finally, don't forget to give tho
young man who takes caro of your state
room two dollars at tho end of tho trip,
nnd tho other young mnn who waits on
you at tho tablo two or threo dollars.
They havo earned it.
If you aro wise, whilo at sea you will
walk forty or fifty times n day from the
6tern to tho bow; you will go up on the
bridge nt night nnd 6eo tho moon rise
nnd havo a littlo spray fly in your face;
you will go down into tho hold nnd tako
n look at tho great tnnrino engines, nnd
seo tho poor stokers feed the fires whilo
tho fat is being tried out of themselves
In a temperaturoof 125degs. Fahrenheit:
you will make friends with the purser,
who is tho financial aud business mnn of
tho concern, and lastly you will go to bed
early nnd avoid tho seductive gumo of
hearts, both on deck among tho dark
eyed belles from Cuba and in tho smok
ing room with the innocent looking gen
tlemen who roll and smoko cigarettes
nnd languidly scoop in tho jackpots.

After all tho tnlk and speculation to
tho contrary it seems that Heligoland
will not bo fortified very elaborately by
its now masters. After much discus
sion, tho Germans havo decided merely
to erect two now ironclad turrets, with
