WlNDEMCUK, KnOI.AM), July S5, WW.
A week ago yesterday with my companion
nt large I hied myself Into a hack nt tlio
Grand Union hotel, New York City, with 11
trunk on which sat the driver. Althouuli I
nm not Ini go In statue myfelf, with the as
sistance of n lnrgo robo holding my heavy
cont, two hand griiHitnd my vnlet, who cut
liy my side, tho inside of the ambulance hud
it full npiionraneo. A hnlf hour'H rumhlo
over the atony pavement brought us to Pier
40, Cunnrd vhnrf, where Iny silently mid
uucoiiceiiied tho object anil cause, of my sub
sequent sorrow-.tho destroyer of my happiness
nnd Instigator of irreligious steofh, the Hoy
nIMnll Steamship, Ktrurln." A few steps
on tho pier nnd I wns within a covered shed
among piles of baggage nnd hurrying truck
men nnd excited travellers. A big, burly
Irishman grubbed hold of my trunk and re
maiked In n stereotyped manner: "Herth
numlier nnd iintne, slrl" "My name, Kir," I
said, "Is Smith, but 1 don't know w hut my
berth number K" "Go get It," says he.
"Where!" says I. "On the steamer," su)s
he. "All right," says I. I summoned my
valet mid sent him iost ha-te after my berth
nnd If he couldn't bring mine to get someone
else". In the meantime my Irish friend
pasted a big, red, round poster on tho end of
my new tiunk. The paste was cheap nnd he
got on fully n much of It ns ho did poster.
This placard bore In the center n lnrgo letter
"3," aiound which revolved the words
"Cunnrd Line, Passenger Luggnge." The
"8," 1 suppose, Is the short for Smith. My
vnlet soon returned with my berth nnd I
Immediately Informed my Iilsh friend that I
was allotted to occupy berth fit. With u
lnrgo hunk of white chalk he marked the tig
ures "51" nil over my hnnd bnggage which
gave them a milky way appearance, and be
fore I know It a truckman gobbled up tho
wholo outllt mid disappeared from view. A
long gang plank with canvass sides reached
from tho wharf to tho lower deck of the
steamer. I wended my way through tho
surging crowd to the precipice and taking
four steps backward In accordance with my
early training, I tinned mid walked up the
chute and nil endy I felt that the rippling
waters were beginning to toy with me.
Everv thing was bustle nnd confusion on
deck. People rushing and crowding to and
fro and tha izood lives and farewells and
kisses that came in contact with my vision
were ninny und heart-rending. I wns nlone
in the surging muss. Eveiybody was excit
ed and there was much, walling mid gnashing
of teeth. The captain's cry of "all ashore,"
greatly in crenstd the roaring hubbub nnd
those who had come aboard to pai t with
friends hurridly sought their exit. No one
seemed to know where they came in mid the
many anxious faces, for fear they would lie
carried away, were a sight to see. Up stairs
mid down, around the decks they went in all
directions. "Where Is the dooi I" "how can
I ever find my way out"' "Oh dear! shall I
ever get off(" "Is this the way, slrl" "where
am 1 1" etc., nre only n few of the mingling
echoes of thnt thrilling time. There wns so
much excitement that I whs somew lint con
fused nnd I wns slinking hmids with myself
nnd saying good bye, etc., for not a soul t'lat
I knew did I see. My valet had mingled
with the ci owd .elsewhere. It was indeed u
festive occasion.
As the steamer slowly backed away from
the wharf assisted by small tug bouts ihe
mnss of human beings on the pier crowded
to the very edge and n vast sea of white
handkerchiefs tlonted in the air. Cheers mid
farewells filled the ntmosphei e. In spite ot
mjselfn lump formed in my tluoiit and
dmvpuess collected under my eyelids, ud I
walked to the stern and sat on a railing with
my feet on a large wooden chest. The har
bor was full of steameis, tug boats mid ves
sels of all kinds, and three fellows lit a small
row boat followed us for some distance, rid
ing 011 the tops of the waves, cutting through
the white foam. A mingled feeling of Joy
and sadness possesoed me. Happy because I
was fortunate enough to stall on such 11
promising journey, and sad becnue I wns
fast leaving behind me nil the friends I had
on eaith, save one, my vnlet.
It whs u veiy Impiesslve scene und one I
long shall remember. Goveinoi Island to
the left nnd the Stntuto of Llbeity to the
right soon pushed hejotid nud were left dim
in the distance. The shores of dear old
Aineilcn weiefast losing their lingular up
pearance, and far away spiead thebioad ex
panse of water whoe crested waves sparkled
In the sunlight. Tho large Cuiinrder was
fnst cnirjing us to a foielf,n shore Tho
waters divided us the pondoious ship plowed
its way through and weweio soon to he nt
the meicy of the elements uloue in mid
ocean. At tills Juncture of the uaiutive let meie
late n sud and bitter episode coveilug the
bulimic of my I present jouiuej up to todnj
save Friday and Saturdnv lut. A topper
tamliouiiiie ill the hands of 11 wuiteriui
iirmnctd thnt luncheon was leudy In the din
lug saloon on the Hist dttk below. Previous
to this I hnd Interrogated one of the snllois
leguiding sen-sickness in its vniious foimsiu
orde'- to mcirtnln the lust pioventlon for
the impending touow which 1 felt wns with
in, although tit that time it ""i bunny vis

ubout It I ut I lenimd little or nothing to us-
slst me other than to eat heartily and to
takeexerclse in uicoidmuu with one's de-
site. 'These Instructions seemed not hut d to

how strong

Theie wns it touttuut Jut

I ,... Inmr ,1 l.,t.. I fi,iiled 111 all
could convenient)-huld and when 1 left the
table I felt lis though my feuis weieuil -
touiuhd. Along about flvo o'clock in the
afternoon tho ship wns well out wheie the t
waves were turbulent mid lolling, which
enused her to pitch n little nnd occasionally
take a good long roll llrst to one side and
then to tho other. 1 had I icon walking for
exercise nccordlug to direction, uud those
things which I hnd enused to disappear at
the table did not set as well us I desired,
There wns evidence of unrest among them.
As I had walked all that 1 thought necessary
I sat dow u In a steamer chair not far from
tho lulling overlooking the water below
Sly head seemed n llttlo off skew mid there
wns something about tho motion of the boat
that I didn't like.
Time rolled on, as well ns my stomach and
tho dinner gong sounded (dinner Is sol ved.VJtO
p. m ). Although I like dinner very much
nnd nhwi)H inn udvciso to missing it, I snt in
my ch-ilr jut ns though I didn't know it wns
leudy. The motion within nnd without was
slowly Increasing to u concert pitch. As I
gtnnccd urotind tho deck I snw others who
sat motionless and said but little mid I telt
somewhat relieved to know that I was not
uloue. The shades of night began to hover
mound and wrapped In my rob-j, my eyes
neatly closed, I snt. Do what I could the
oiling waters werefast biliigiiigmetioiiblo.
About nine p. m. I descended to the depths
Mow. I was dizzy, we ik and ttruinughly
unhappy. As I slowly IIsh.iihh1 with my
watdrobe within my narrow cell, where tho
nir was full of imusentlng rood, n longing to
put my foot on Inud came, but there wns no
land to lie hud, nothing but tho moving, tin
staple wateis us fur as the 130 could reach.
In tho state loom there were two berths, one
above the other My valetand I "tosseet up"
to eco who would take which I seemed the
upHM- uud up I scrambled, lirst placing below-
on the tloor nt 11 convenient spot a large
anil spacious wash bowl. I knew it was only
a ipiestion of time before I would have oc
casiou to uso the bowl, nud ns I luytlutoii
my buck 1 thought of home. 1 braced my
elbow against one side of the Ik-i th ami w Ith
my left hand I held tho edge of the iliish
boAitl, which wns high enough to pi event
one from fulling out III a rough sen. The
tide wits ilsiiig within und my heart sunk in
versely. I spoke to my vnlet below ns fol
lows: "Clear the hilly Frank, she's 11 com
lug." "Let her go," suys he. I extended my
ashen face over tho side, threw up my hands,
some strawberries, cold roust leef, potntoes,
some pelfectly elegant pudding 1 don't
know what kind It was now, I forget the
name some apple pie, some broad uud but
ter, two cups of coffe, one half a bitted ap
,,e( L.0 ,.ro, , ,.ke and many other odd
nnd ends, it seemed very sud to lose nil
these goodies, but It hud to be did.
On several occasions dining thnt evening
theio wero times nt legulnr Intervals when 1
felt foiced to repeat this soul-stirring exer
cise, which was not nt all from choice, und
when tho dnwn of another day appeared I
was a very sud unit lonesome boy. I had lost
my interest In many things. Tho world was
not as bright as It once was, nnd as I hour by
hour grow weaker mid weaker, what a yearn
ing thei 0 w as for dear ol 1 terra cotta.
I got inv valet to put on my shoes and
otherwise assist 1110 in getting my clothes on,
and managed to crawl to tho upier deck
where I could look ut the tlhes thut live in
the cruel wuteis
I Und no desire to ent neither had 1 to walk'
for exercise. My face was pule and haggard
and my eves were red with sorrow, my 1
mouth had assumed larger proportions, my
nose hnd lost Its rounded form, my enrs were
dry nnd wrinkled, my chin hud dropped
from Its 1101 11111I position ubout half 1111 inch,

The authorities of the university met, the
