At last we nro pushing into the open sen and oh how tho wind howls and billows roll as we turn round the light house point of land north of Cliff House. AInady dozens of people nre feeding the lishes. not b'icause of the fear Hint the said lishes are in need of any immediate assistance but princi pally on account of nn overlond of good, bad nnd indifferent foods which the aforesaid dozens ot individuals tried to carry to Boa in their several sumachs. How I do pity some of those poor sick ones; some heaving, some crying and groaning and some trying to get to their bunks where tbey aay they will remain until we reach land again. We are nearing the pilot boats where we are to put off our pilot who has directed our course thus far He can have all he wants of getting off in such a small craft in this gale. I will take tho largest steamer and then it is shaky enough. Several ships are in sight, all putting out to nea to avoid the danger of nearing the rocks in this gale. Our pilot having gone we are now interested in locating our eating quarters. Some of us are ready for the tirst gong; others look as if they never expected t welcome the sound of anything short of Gabriel's trumpet, and to some the sooner it "trumps" the better. Here is another stowaway. After all their searching one is over looked and just now crawled from un der the canvas on upper deck where he has been piled in between boxes and crates since 7 a.m. He is now safe for n free ride to the next port at least and the chances are he will get through to Nome on.this ship. "Gong." No moonlight promenndes 011 deck to night. Glad enough to get into our rooms with dry clothes anil steady legs. Sunday, 12 m, Ohl how I do "sym pathize" with those poor sick mortals who have thrown up everything loose about them and are trying haul to loosen up the remaining adjuncts to their lespuctivo stomachs. Yes, I have had it, in fact have now got it bad Four-liflhs of the people on board are sick and as for me I can't imagino how I shall ever bo able to do justice to Mrs. Martin's short cake and the mauy delicacies which I am so for tunnte to possess. If this is seasick ness In its glory I candidly do net care for any more of it. Not much outdoor exercise for mo today. 0 p.m. Feel much better and have eaten light dinner. We are to have un instrumental counert by the orchestra tonight. There being no piano on board we will not have much singing. There nre G5 ladies on board most all of whom are wives and mothers and as a wholo a very nice crowd. Monday. Tho concert last night was line but the storm at midnight was grnnd. I 11111 all right now and ready for throe to ten meals daily. Manj of the crow are sick and only about tlfty passengers ate able to be up. I really enjoy the rolling of the ship now and don't care how hard it blows. 1 p.m. A ship is sighted to our front ind how the few who are able crowd the rail fore and aft eager to get even n faint glimpse of the ship we are to meet. :) p.m. Have just passed a small steam schooner towing two big heavy barges, Tho weather has settled into n most beautiful day. Such a grand scene. The bluest of blue is the sea at this moment. Wo gave tho captain of tho schooner all our San Francisco papers. They need them, having boon out from port about ten days TucrfdiiT. Another gale last night and wo had to have our doors closed up tight to keep out the waves which lushed tip over thw main deck rail. Wednesday. Distant 878 miles fiom San Francisco. This has boon a dull, dark and dreaiy day. Many of tho boys are homesick today. At 2:30 p.m. a llttlo excitement wa created by tho illicit of a man who is charged with tho misdemeanor of trying to "mash" a maiden lady passonger. Thoy or ganized a court on upper deck and ae- hh V'Ji & to to to if in 'Km i STHRTLING Shirt Waist Sale. ft m We made a startling purchase of 50 dozen, 600, new Shirt Waists at about 40c on the dollar.

Red Cloud, Nebraska. m JiiS cording to marine law a Jury was em panelled, the case tried and defendant found guilty. He was sentenced to 24 hours in irons in tho second forecastle. (Moot court.) We are getting up a patriotic concert for tonight and guess we will have a good time. Thursday,. 1137 miles from S. b. The concert last night vas very pat riotic and well worth task of getting up. Friday. 11)82 miles from S. F. A very cold, bleak, windy day and aside from some singing of hymus and prov erbs in social hall tho time has hung heavily on our hands up to present hour 1 p.m. Saturday. At 11:15 a.m. ships time or 2 p.m. S. F time wo passed the steamer Grace Dollar 100 yards to our port side. Great shouting and signals between ships passengers. This is the worst day of all and many of us are seasick again, My oh my if this is to last long, think I will return overland on fool. 1 am on the program tonight to sing Little Hoy Hluu but unless 1 feel much better will not attempt it. Sunday. 1823 miles from S. F. Tho day opened fiomtwhal calmw but cold damp and cloudy. At 10:110 a.m. an informal church bervico was held in tho dining room. There are thre or four preachers jii boiud and several missionaries', of the latter two are full blood Ksqulmo. Wo hastily organized a choir led by Mr. Holmgren, chorister of the Swedish Congregational church of San Francisco. The singing was praised very highly and the entire ser vice was good. Wo are expecting to arrive at Unalaska tomorrow night. How we will all rejoice at the .sight of land even if it is only an island. I for got to relate that we have had two little informal socials on board which together with the conceit, help to while away the long hours. Monday. 2078 miles from S. F. Our song and praise service last night was h success in an respects, j no room was crowded to its full capacity and surely it was inspiring and elovaling to hear the men from all quarters of the globe (nearly), giving their testi mony in favor of u Godly life. To-day the sun is shining brightly and there is not so much wind. Wo expect to reach Unalaska tomorrow when we can mail letters on a Sitka ship, enab ling said letters to reach you possibly this month yet, If wo should get locked in the ire as some predict, it may be July 1st befout wo reach our destination however I think wo will get through all right nnd probably spend next Sunday in Nome City. At tl p.m. we aie in sight of the Aleutian Islands. Everybody crazy to se' Unit fust. At fi p.m. we am entering the harbor of Unalaska and I will hasten to gel this ready for tho mail. Such grand .scenery. The whales have been amusing us by spouting within gun. shot ol tliu hhip. At 12 midnight have just leturned from a tramp on the hill, sides, the town cemetery, etc., and it. is bright daylight yet. Of course it' only 0 p m by our time hero but 12 by San Francisco timo. Of all scenery on earth this is surely tho grandest of its kind. Tuesday. If you could see theso beautiful greon islands and lakes yon would feel like the sight is worth the seasickness of the trip. The Dutch, harbor about iwo miles distant is tilled with the many ships which have pre ceded us, none of which have been able to get through tho ice of iho iiohriug Sea. How thankful 1 am that I camo on the St, Paul. Whilst we have had a rough voyage part of the way, it is nothing to what the ethers, have experienced. And such a crowd of gamblers and cut-throats on some of the boats. Of tho 25 or rnoro vessols here in port, all excepting the Ohio and St. Paul have bad almost mutiny on board. Suicide, murder and death in some. You remember I told sou of the nice room-mates I was to have on the Ohio! WelJ, ono of thorn commit ted suicide by jumping overboard, He had been drinking heavily since leav ing port and when ho commenced to sober up he realized how he had dis graced himselt and deliberately jumped overboard and refused to tnko hold of a life float thrown to him, Ono small boat with sixteen passengers is re ported bottom up in mid ocean. At 11-20 p.m. it is still bright daylight. This p.m. I havo attended a base ball game, n big clam bako on tho buaoh, and then ull by my lonely tool, a long tiainp over mountain and glon, whero I picked the loveliest (lowers, somo from the snow bunks. Am sending you some in n small box. We nnut get our mall all ready tonight to post early in the morning and then it may lay here a week or two. D.
