A TRIP ACROSS THE OCEAN.
(Continued.)
In a few days the majority of the
emigrants recovered from their sea
sickness, with the exception of some
old people, who suffered awhile longer, j
We entered the English channel and
could see the coast of England on the
right and the shores of France on our
left. It was in this channel where
the German steamers Schiller and EHe
went down with hundreds of precious
lives. The weather became very fog-ry
and our ship's bell was kept continu
ally ringing, to warn other ships of
our presence and to keep clear. m a
very fogy evening we heard a surging
noise coming toward us, and all at
once a three-masted ship passed chise
by us, with full sails set.
A thought struck me that if that
ship had struck ours we would have
gone to bottom "unknown, unhonored
and unsung,' as many another ship's;
company has done in this and other
dangerous seas.
Our course next took as cle to the
coast of Ireland.by the clay cliffs from
which white clay pipes are moulded.
We also passed close to a lighthouse
on the Irish coast, and not long art
erward were on the broad Atlantic,
where the weather was fine and the
sky clear and bright.
Nothing but water and sky could
be seen, except occasionally the sails
of a ship in the distance.
Some tme may ask, How did we pass
the time during that seven long weeks
on the water? I can only say, in ans
wer, as best we could. Some in play
ing cards, in reading; some would en
joy themselves singing the good old
songs of the fatherland, one of which
was the favorite,

In which all would join. At night,
when the sea was calm, we danced till
ten o'clock, some emigrant musicians
furnishing the music. 1 my.self spent
a good deal of time on the upper deck,
watching the big fish surrounding our
ship. Some of them were monster.
I also caught some "Mother Carey's
chickens," as they were called. I
would take a strong cord and attach a
piece of meat to it, throw this over
side of the vessel. The birds would
eagerly grasp the meat in their mouths
and then I pulled them aboard, after
whieh I turned them lose again.
They are a trifle larger than our com
mon blackbirds and have web feet.
They live far out at f-ea: Sailors have
a superstition that to kill one of these
birds brings ill luck, and they never
do so.
Occasionally high winds prevailed,
and our ship would roll and tumble.
The mad waves would carry our ship
mountain high, and the next minute
let us deep down into a trough of the
sea, as we supposed, to the ocean's
bottom. It was a sight frightful to
behold. At other times the ship
rolled from side to side, and it was
very hard for a person to keep on his
feet. Then again would come a calm.
so perfect that for days there was not '
enough of a breeze to move the ship a
foot. These were lonesome, longing
days for us, and all prayed for a breeze
tospring upand take us toour dest in-
ation as rapidly as possible.
But we came neater and rearer to
cherished America. Our ship had
taken the extreme southern route,and
oneoay we uai pouneu ui
as ue mountains or i-orto kico. in a
" few days we passed close lv the shores
of Cuba, and it was a beautiful coun
try to look upon.
Some days. later w e saw the smoke of
two steamboats. Nearer and nearer
they came toward us, and one came so

'close that they talked to the captain
of our ship, ai.d tried to strike a bar
gain to tow our ship to the mouth of
the Mississippi. Finally the contract
was made: a line was fastened to our
ship, and away we went by steam.
The mouth of the river was reached
toward evening, and we had to lay to
for the iiijrht, on account of low water
on the lar. The next morning our

lo ts ahead of us We crossed the line
between the oct an and the river. We
could distinctly see the line, a the
salt water was of a clear, bluish color,
while the water of the Mississippi was
a bright yellow, crcssing the line it
seemed as if the waters of the ytilf
rebelled against mixing wit h the dirty
river water, and the gulf waves drove
the river waters lack some distance.
The count rv on both sides of the
river seemed like a veritable paradise, j
We could see the cstly mansions of :
the planters, the groups or villages of ;
log cabins of the negroes, each
surrounded by gardens full of vegeta-
hies, such as cabUiges. tomatoes, pot a- j
Hies, orange, lemon ami ng trees, iun
of the delicious fruit. There were
alsoirreat forest trees, with moss hang
ing to the ground. It was to us a new
and amazing sight.
We could also see the slaves men
and women working in the cotton
fields, the laiss. whip in hand, near by
them.
At last it seemed an age on the
first day of May. toward evening, we
landed at New Orleans. We remained
at card ship over night, and next mor
ning stepped off her gang plank upon ;
American soil! and took a look at the ,
great southern city. Of course we j
were greatly pleased, and were thank-
ful to our Heavenly Father for having '
brought us safely over, and for our es
cape from European militarism and
imperialism. j
In the afternoon a steamboat came '
alongside, to take us to Cincinnati, ;
the Mecca of the Hermans, and we !
were soon transferred to what proved ,
a worse death trap than the ship we I
had left. The Ixiat was already fully j
haded with freight ln-tween decks,!
and here we were crowded in like her-'
ring. The was no room to walk about, j
not enough to lie dow n. Had as we
had fared on shipboard, we at least had i
room to lie down to sleep, but on thisj
hell-invented rattle-trap we could find
no place to lie or even sit down. My j
brother and I spent a miseral.: uighl ;
the worst of mv life. i
Next morning, as good luck would j
have it, I met a (lerman deck band of :
another Ixat'that was ready to leave i
for Louisville. It was law, clean, j
and new, and had no deck ptissengers.
The (Jerinan took me to the clerk of j
the boat and we engaged passage for
the same price as the old hulk charged.
.Some forty others also came wit litis to!
the new lnat. It was a most fort tin-j
ate that we made the chance. Chol-i
era va.s raging everywhere, and some
fifteen of the emigrants on that, old
toat ltecame victims of that fatal mal
ady, while none died on our lat.
On the 12th of May, IM'.i. we landed
at Cincinnati. Not a relative or friend
was there to meet us. W e were strau-

Worse than Death.
One of t he very first thi'gs which
Captain .1. I!. C'aughey did after lieing
mustered out of the Thirty-Ninth IT.
S. volunteers at San Francisco this
wee'v was to come directly to I'latts
mouth for the purpose of meeting the
parents of the late Captain Sam
Waugh. under whom he served as 1st
lieutenant during the earlier days of
51 e regiment.
Captain Caughey arrived Sunday
and snt the day at the home
of the Waughs, returning to
Mnaha in the evening accompanied by
Mr. Waugh. The ex-army officer
graphically descrilied the conditions
existing in the Philippines, telling of
t he prevalence of the dreaded fevers
which so often leave their victims
subject to an ineradicable and brood
ing melancholy more fatal than the
bullets of the Mauser rifle.
The captain believes the policy of
extradition more effective in subduing
the Filipinos than tire and lead. The
natives do not fear to die, he sajs.
They give up their lives unmurmuring
ly in the cause of the liberty of their
country, but when they are met, not
w it'll deat h but banishment to some
remote barren island, the stoutest of
their hearts itiail with fear at the
thought of lteing separated from home
and family and all they hold most dear,
and made to drag out their lives in a
strange land. And this, he says, is
creating greater terror among the peo
ple than all our rifles and cannon.
Truly, it is a lenevolent policy
which this great nation is following,
w hen death is considered a punishment
far too light for men whose crime
is only a determination to possess their
civil and political liiery at any cost.
