M., Tier 41, foot of Houston street the scene, and the depar- tnre ot the City oi Itome the occasion. Pier aud ship are crowded with passen. gcrs, visitors, sailors, porters, hack men a motly, noisy multitude. The first bell sounds and a voice is heard : It says, "visitors will pass out this way." A tide of hnmauit y begins to flow back to the companion way, thence down to the pier, Presently the deep,tremulous growl of the whistle fills the mighty ship from quar ter deck to hold, shaking loose the last idler from his hold aud sending him pre cipitately to join the now turgid torrent which is exhausted with the inevitable "last one" who makes the flying leap. An inconsiderable, but very busy, little tug is engaged in hauliug us stern first off shore, and an immense canvas is be ing hoisted at the bow iu order to facili tate the going about which is necessary. ,1 , x mo uwiii-. me iouoei oils machinery oe- gins to throb and the Leviathan of the world's fleets glides down the Hudfon ana with accelerated sueed nushes onr ... i - - into tlie bay while Battery, Bridge, spire and forest of masts rapidly recede.

All Uiam writ Uouie later. The feeli 1 begi us to deepen, and as the evening wears away in absolute com tort we all begin t feel less dread of those tributes which the landsman is expected to pay to Neptuue. It is cool, in fact cold, this of evening. . A trip to the bow, where the wind rushes up and over the deck is a somewhat perilous undertaking, and you hold on the with grip of a vise toany unattached article of clothing. But let ns look up our acquaintances, and see what friends we can find, and make, First comes our stateroom associate, Rev. C. Vass, of Newberu, N. C. It is a privilege to have such a pleasant, genial, ntelligent compaiuou, somewhat accus- lers tomed to sea-goiug ways, and supple- men ting my experience by his inteUi- It yeuee. so mat me new course oi me moves ou without embarrassment.. Then comes Rev. Dr. Moore, of Sher- ed man, lexas, wno married a r ayeiicviue lady and who is a leading man in his sec- tion, lie looks through spectacles, is "bearded like the paid," and is full of energy ana enterprise, nnriurea, u not born, of the free and active habits ot the Xioue Star State. Next we have Dr. Dickson, of Arkansas, who received a tel- emain after getting aboard ship, inform- nig him that be was a Doctor ot Divinity, and-.that the weight of new honors would not sink the ship. Dr. Dickson is about the size of Mr. JUemly, oi Salem., with hearty Western ways. He has been sick not sea sick for several days, but he does not succumb, or, go to bed for all that. D'. Hooper, of Se.lma, Ala,. He hys crossed the ocean before, and has the hang of the voyage. Then there is Rev. Mr. Richardson, of Alabama, a young man aud as much of an Adonis as any one aboard. Then Rev. A. D. McLure, of Louisville, Ky., with nearly a dozen of interesting ladies, married, widows and fair youug misses, who are exceeding .at- fable and pleasant, speak the Southern lauguage. and are ready for a cozy chat in the .music room, or for a promeuade on tort as severe a toil as was ever extract the saloon deck. Some of these ladies ed by the whip of tlie overseer. The are from Rome, Ga., Mariou, Ala., Oxford, names are changed. The thing is the Missv but mostly from Kentucky. Some same. are going merely for a pleasure trip, Banks Of Newfoundland, whin others are art students, going to study awhile iu London, Pai-is and .Ger- many Brave young women, wjio have learned to help themselves, aud needing not to make a business ot getting married iu order to secure a living. The South- eru young woman is fast learning the art of self-help, aud will soon be able to die- tate terms before she capitulates to any knight of love layiug seige to the citadel of her heart! It is surprising what au interest these ladies leud to life on shipboard. And perhaps the home folks would be surpris- ed could they see vete'rable Doctors of Diviuitj- 1 specify none in particular recovering and brushing up the gallantry of early days, bowing and smiling, and bending their energies to accomplish a promenade ou the quivering deck, just as if ihey had never eudured the agonies of uouralgia.iu their jaws, or beeu drawn together with rheumatism or lumbago! O, tliis bracing sea breeze that comes dashing through the foam aud spray, sift- ed, washed aud salted, until not the mil- lionth part of a grain of malaria remains, and not a taiut of putrefaction lingers in a whole atmosphere. How it enlivens and rejuvenates the enfeebled frame, and fills the heart with loyful anticipations, that haunt the minds of most of us. That is, we have left belli; d us the dear est treasures of our hearts wives and children beloved friends and christian brethren. We are absolutely cut off from them, aud cannot possibly hear un til we have reached the other side. Dr. McCloskie, of Pinceton, says that a wife left behind is a nuisance, so he buoeght hhis along. There are several other fami lies, aud some beautiful children aboard, with one or two on their bridal tour. But most of us are all alone. I may enu merate some others with us: Dr. Pratt, of JvyM Dr. Clueek, o'N. C., on his way to Shim. Dri Hurd, President of Black burn College, 111., "Chaplain" McCabe, of Chicago, Rev. Messrs. Harris, Black, Goodnight and ethers of the Cumberland Church, Rev. Sir. Foggart, of tlie ,U. P. Church iu all 3G delegates to the Coun cil. One of the loveliest of these men is Dr. Iwing, secretary of Foreign Missions of the Northern Pres. church. Steam Ship "City of Rome," f - June 15th, 1884. $ When the Sabbath dawned, upon us this morning we were about 25(3 miles out at sea, heading towards the Banks of Newfoundland. Yesterday it was cloudy and cold. This morning it is clear and a little Warmer, aud we are all glad to have so bright a day for our first Sabbath on the ocean. We had religious services yesterday evening, conducted by Rev. Mr. Black. This morning Dr. Pratt, of the Southern Pres. church, preached a most excellent, elegant, and impressive sermon, from the lifting up of the serpent in the wilderness. Dr. Pratt is a clean shaven, bald headed man, looking a little like Rev. G. M. Gibbs of North Carolina. He reads carefully and. impressively, aud has a strong and well cultivated voice. In the evening '-Chaplain" McCabe of Chicago, who claimed to have once been an inmate of the "Libby," preached a discourse on "Seeing thine iuvisible." rhe cloud of witnesses," and several other things. His ideas did not all stand u a logical' row, each holding on to the others coat tail, but lay around promis cuously. Yet he said quite a number of good things, and appears to be familiar with personal religious work. He is agent or Secretary of Foreign - Missions or the Northern Methodist church. The sabbath was spent pleasantly aud profitably, in social converse, and sing ing and reading. I notice however that there is not much reading, each prefer ring to learn by the use of his eyes and ears. There is, too, a wonderful propen sity to make memoranda. There will probably be quite an addition to the cur rent aternture ot the day in a few weeks. Keeping my watch with Salisbury tune I have beeu able to keep with the servi ces at home, and meet in thought and heart with the worshippers At home. I shall do this till 1 reach Liverpool then the Greenwich time and note the differ ence between. So I will stiii be able to know events, as they occnr at home. Steam Siiip "City of Rome," Monday. June 16. This morning Mr. Vass and I rose about 3 o'clock to see our first sun-rise at sea. Yesterday we noticed the sun set ting. There was nothing peculiaily in teirstinsr about it, except the dinning of the disk into the trembling horizon, and the rapid approaches of darkness and ap pearance of the stars. But early as we rose by our watches we arrived on deck too late to see the sun rise. He was already up some ten minutes in advance of us. But it was a very common looking sun after al), aud his face looked no brighter after rising from "Tithonus bed," than when he re tired to his saffron couch yesterday ev veuiug. So after a round or two to fill our lungs with the salubrious salt-sea air, we retired to state room 111, and were soon fast asleep again. Altogether the adveuture did us good, and perhaps we may adopt it, f..r the balance of the voyage, as a rule. We shall see. In the remaiuder of this journal I shall recount more in ieny the chief incidents ! each day. The chief incident of Mon day was going "down into the hold." While sauntering slowly along, Bro. McLure, of Ky., announced that a party was ready to descend. 1 he party tu eluded two ladies. Down, down, down, into the Vulcanic regions, alowiug with heat, grimy with soot, and slippery with oil. This is the region of fire, where 63 furnaces generate the heat for the 13boil- that produce the Rteam for the three Titanic engines that move the propellers. is hot here, from 120 to 150 degrees, I snouiu say irom tne sensation. v e were willing to stop here, but our guide stoop- and crept into a narrow low archway aim oaue us .iouow. vve croucneu ami crept on and on till tired of the exercise, and then crept back again, surely we shall stop now ! But after resting in a recess wuere a current oi iresn air was ponreii down from above, we followed our guide towards the stern, ami entering a low narrow door descended a stairway. It was pitch dark, and I was behind. So I shouted tor help. A voice came back to come ahead, as the footing was good. So on I weut, till the light gleamed ahead. We now found ourselves near the bottom of the ship, where the shelving sides come near together. Here I saw revolving with great rapidity, a tremendous steel cylinder. This communicates motion to the propellers that drive our 8300 tons at the rate of 20 miles an hour 11 Down here there are scores of men coal -heav- ers, stokers, engineers, who nre willing to live iu these grimy torrid regions, that they may win bread for their wives and children. It is not personal slavery, that is bondage to any mau, that compels them to do this. And yet it is the inev- litable bondage ef circumstances that ex- ... June 17. V To-day at noon we are 1.100 miles on our way one thud ot the way across. "The coming events that cast their shad- ows before" are still in the shadowy fu- ture, aud uulerfs a storm arises, Neptune will uot collect his tribute from us. Our table steward can testify that we have fnlly and faithfully performed our duty in the dining saloon. To-day we have some new experiences. Fiist we heard the cry of - "iceberg." Hastily gathering up our glass westsirt for the deck, asking each friend on the route if he had seen as many icebergs as he wanted. .Of course he hadn't, and at ouce rose anil followed. Getting up we saw, on our right front the object that brought n ftp. It was not much of an iceberg alter all, ouly about 40 or 50 feet high, and a hundred feet across, looking like A huge bank of snow, cbasttied, cav- ernedNind seamed. It was au old fel- low, haviug started from Greenland,, or Icelaivu, or Spitsbergen, or somewhere else, more than a year ago. It was evi- dently iu the last stages of consumption, as huge blocks, as huge as flour barrels and tobacco hogsheads were floating around the ships track for some dis tancc. After the iceberg came the cry of "whai.es." Though others of the passengers saw some wnaies or porpoises or something, I failed. When I came on deck the cur tain was drawn and tho exhibition closed. 1 consoled myself with the reflection that they were not much of whales after all. But next came something 1 did see, all saw and none of us wanted to see. It was a fog bank. ' It was not a very dark one, but it shut us in on three sides. We seemed to be plunging into a region of Cimmerian darkness, and we did not know how many iron ships, or icebergs there might bo in that bank of fag. And to keep us in constant remembrance of our peril, the fog whistle began to growl and roar every two minutes. Rut we changed our course, veering off to the South East, and in an hour we were iu clear atmosphere, with the fog-bank looming up far to the northward. . Mid Ocean ) Wednesday, Junu 18. s As the ocean is roughly estimated at 30(10 miles in width, we may consider our selves iu the middle of it, at mid-day of the middle day of the week. By this time jjie ship's company has become (juitc so ciable. You may freely address any gen tleman you meet, and most of the ladies accord a smile of recognition wheu you meet them. We engage ju our daily la bors with continued interest. These la bors consist in superintending the pull- 102 m ol the "ioi" every two hours. True the sailors do the pulling, but a i m i i a uirge seii-cousinuiya cum nut tee .ot pas sengers is al way a on hand to see it well done. e generally make about 18 to 20 miles au hour. At noon each day we have to inspect the record of the ship's ran tor the last 24 hours. That ranges from 370 to 210 mites, aud our hopes rise and tall according to the distance run. We have had delightful weather all the way, but as we burn two hundred tous oi coai eacn aav, in tour uays we have consumed 800 tons. This has light ened us considerably, and hence we do not ride as steadily as when we started. Wo bend to the swell of the sea, aud roll from sum to siae cut by this time we have become accustomed to it, aud are well on our sea legs. Uncconsciouslv we put out one foot, and walk at various au gles too numerous to mention. Besides these daily employments, the passengers extemporize amusements for themselves. Some are pushiug ehufflo board, others throwing i inrs over iron pins, while others smoke, play chess or l i.i . m carus. in the smokin; room those in clined to gamble are engaged in pool sell iug. To-day a number have been pull ing a rope, England against America. The ship has also a libraiy of good books whieh old voyagers read aud new oues pretend to. Personally I have uot pre tended to read a book, having my time fully employed otherwise. Books will save, while the sights aud sounds of ocean travel will soon vanish. 1 must catch aud record them before they take their tight. Thursday. -June 19, 1884. The record at tiooit to-day shows us to be ltiBo miles out, or 905 miles from Qneenstown of the way across. Oa hi st gWnce of the -sea-shows a smoother surface than any we have yet seen. Jt is not like the surface of a minor, but dimpled and corrugated and unstable As very little variety appears to-day, we iuterest ourselves iu studying the table of English money, and getting familiar with the equiyaleuts of pouuds. ghilliuga aud pence iu Federal curreucy. It U very easy. We have only to remember that a penny i two cents, a shilling 25 cents aud a sovereign or pound is five dollars, and a guinea 21 shilling.- or $5.25. That is all. We passed one steamer to d.iy, and met another; but they were far out on the horizon. This evening an entertainment is extemim- rized for the benefit of orphans of sailor, there were instrumental pieces, songs, and recitations tne songs and recitatians quite fair the instrumental pieces rather poor. However the piano is not a very good ono. The collection realized about Id pounds, or $90. Beautiful youug la dies served as collectors, aud he must have been au unsentimental enrmudgeon who refused. It is reported that one old j teilow iu the smoking room, reading without looking np said, "I have nothing for you." A sweet voice said, "Please give me something tor the sailors or phans. Looking up his eyes met a vis ion of youth and beauty. He surrender ed at ouce, and it is said gave a pound. Friday, June 20, 1884. We are now 2275 miles' from New York and only between four aud five hundred miles from the coast of Ireland. We shall get there, Providence favoring, to morrow afternoon . Only a few seem spe cially anxious to see land. Though rath er monotonous outside, there is all Hub social life we need within. Somebody is always ready to walK or talk with you Outside we seem to be sailing up the same everlasting watery ravines, between the same watery hillsides, towards the same dim horizon . For six days the machineiy has not ceased revolving, nor the swish of the water to sound in our ears. This morning a sailing vessel, named Mary t razmr, came within 100 yards ot us. Her crew shouted and waved hats aud handkerchiefs at us, and we at them. It was said to be a whaling vessel off for the polar fishing grounds. We shall never see each other again. This evening a mock Conrt was organ lzea, lor tlie trial ot a broach ot promise ens, presided Over by the Hon. Richard Amminndib Dickson. K. C. B., D. C. L. Two lawyers performed tlie- part of conn sel for plaintiff aud defendant, while the fair youug lady, with lacerated feelings was a New York lady, ou a bridal trip The trial was drawn out interminably then submitted to the jury without argu incut. The jury failing to agree, the judge o.iiered the sheriff to lock up the jury till they did agree, and in tlie uieau time to pay the costs himself. Saturday, June 2T, 1884. Our reckouing at uoou to dav shows 300 miles, and by the chart we are with in 25 or 30 miles of the Irish Coast. As I must see that this journal, must come to an abrupt close. I have just been to the stern of our vessel aud watched the long wake stretching out, and on towards America, 2800 miles distant. I thought of home and the dear oues there. Adieu LAND, HO ! ft a a oatnruav evening, six o'clock. As we came from dinner ou dick the cry of lau was heard the mountains in the south west corner of Ireland.
