Arrived in Philadelphia Wednesday, October, 13th. Released Crew on Following Friday. Editor Arrives in Ahoskie Tuesday, October, 19th. and Resumes His Work With the Herald. The Editor of the Hemic!, J. Roy Parker, who left the United State 1 ah July 26th. last has returned to this country, and is at .present sojourning at his usual place of businesa in this city. He arrived in Ahosltie Tuesday morning and is this week guiding the destinies of the Herald through a stor i my week, while the Manager takes an abbreviated holiday in the form of a trip to the State Fair at Raleigh. The U. S. S. Frederick, to whose i crew, the editor belonged, steamed up I the Deieaware Capee on Wednesday, October 18th and tied up to the dock near the Navy Yard, Philadelphia, a short while afiter noon of the same day. And, notwitastanding the won derful sights and the experiences that they had undergone in the foreign countries, these lads of the Naval Re ?erve Force blended together their husky voices at the sight of the sho res of America?They were glad to reach the home of their nativity. It is likewise a safe assertion to make in saying all of them regard their own country even more highly now than at any time of their lives. They, like the editor himself, realise now that the European ideal*, at least u re gards the social life and the (ancity of the home life, are not even akin to the American ideali. For a vaca tion and a sightseeing tour this cruise just ended was a rare treat and was enjoyed from first to last by every member of the crew. The only sad feature of the entire trip was the un timely death of one of the members of the crew, D. W. Cadet of Washing ton, D. C. He died in England and his body w*s brought over on the ship uid later buried with military honors In the National Cemetery at the Na tional Capitol. The members of the :r?w voluntarily subscribed over a thousand dollras for the widowed mo ther of the deceased sailor. inleaa it be the few days of anxiety indergone during the three day trip !o Russia. There were two contribut ng features that made these the Ion-1 rest days, namely, the releases that iwaited the crew upon their arrival n the States, and" secondly, the five lay storm that the Frederick passed through on its way to America, the atter probably being the largest con tributory cause. On the second day it sea out of England, the ship ran nto a storm, caused by the regular Trade Winds that usually pass over >e seas in the early part of October. For five full days the huge waves battled against the speed of the ship ind the waves won; for, on two of those five days the ship averaged twenty eight miles per day, forward, although had she made as much head way forward as it did upwards,, down wards and sidewards, we would have exceeded the speed limit. It wan a real storm and wal accompanied by all the sensations that swell?sometime* to the overflowing?within thoee who have to undergo the ordeal of five consecutive days of stormy weather. Seasickness ther* waa a plenty. It be ing the common r?Je rather than the exception. The little fishes in th* sea were well fed for five days; and the displacement of the thip was consid erably le.-s after the storm period. Against all traditions and the dire predictions banded to the editor are he left Ahoekie, he braved the storm for five days?and remembered the words of one of his country's noble naval officers "don't give her up," He did not give 'it' up. It was an awfai strain, however, to be forced to am dergo, ma the thought of */K might be being within itself a regular nightmare. After coming through such a sea for five days, amen could very properly be said in commemmora tion of thfc Olympic Cruiae, for the trip would never have been complete so long as we encountered the seas that we had traveled up to that time, which were more like a placid lake than real mad seas. There were ti mes going over when the editor wooM have to stop his work" in the pay oSee and take a walk around the decks te be real certain that the ship was ac tually under way. So m#ny places have been visited, so many events transpired, and sudk wonderful experiences have been un dergone, that it seems as if a whole life time has been consumed in the ^ process. There are, then, so maajr things about which to write, to soae degree interesting, that it is bewQd ering to begin any article of descrip tion or narrative so soon uponarrrv al. Consequently, the editor has de cided after all that it is beet not te attempt to crowd too much in one ait ting. He hopes to be able to write somewhat more fully in later editioaa of the paper: having a complete dia ry of the trip, and which waa writ ten ful^r every day. TEACHERS' MEETING WINTbN 1 ?
