Atlanta Qa., Aug. 10th.
p. A long, low swell of the
water caused the vessel to pitch, and by
night ail the passengers except myoeif
and about ten otberB were down sick.
It is amusing to see th«*m. A man will
turn pale, walk about uneasily with a
most melancholy appearance, and then
run to the side of the vessel ami stay
there a short time, and then go below.
The next day everybody was better and
all on deck. Then the wind changed,
and the vessel instead of Ditching, roll

went" again. N-xt morning
they were all U P
again, and again the wind changed, and
we bad a combination chop sea, tbe
vessel rolling and pitching at the same
time, and they all went below again.
Neither nor —were at dinner, and
1 could not find them anywhere for
some time. When I came across them
they looked rather dejected and refused
some bananas I offered them.
It is so cold it is nearly freezing, if
we are forward on deck the wind cute

foreign countries. Off tbe banks
of New Foundland we had dense
fog and intense cold for seveial days,
we passed vessels nearly every day,
and have seen whales twice, and por
poises several times.
In mid-Atlantic one of,our passengers
(an Irishman) died, and was buried a’
sea, there was a dead calm on the ocean
at tbe time, but tbe sailors said we were
going to have a storm because we had
had a funeral. Sure enough the wind
began to blow, and by night was blow
ing such a gale we could hardly stand,
and tbe waves washed over the ship. 1
was on the after deck when a wave came
over the front deck and wet everybody
there, then a big one went across the
main deck and wet every one there
even the captain on the bridge. I was
enjoying all this looking on when a
tremendous wave came over the
deck where I was, and gave us
soaking, and I did not enjoy it any
more. The guards were all up at the
tables in the diningroom, but in spite
of it, the dishes and plates went emigra
ting in various directions. That night
the gale increased, and we h"d to hold
on with both hands to ctay in our
berths. Th*re were four small, and
five large valises in our stateroom that
kept traveling from place to place, and
a sofa and a trunk in tbe next room cut
the same capers. The door of tbe stew
ards pantry next to us flew open, and
a crash of crockery and tinware added
to the racket. There was such a noise
you could hear nothing, next day it was
calmer.
We are now off the Irish coast and
expect to land tomorrow. The people
on board are mostly Scotch, Irish and
English, and some Americans.every one

London, July 26.—We are now in
London after having been through the
Highlands of Scotland and
seen Loch Lomond. Ben Lomond
and many other Loches and Bens
(including Been Gongal in prices).
We have seen Stirling castle, Edinbor-

Highland Regiment at Edinborough.
In London we have seen be. Paul’s

havuyc their footmen taking the dogs

We traveled through Scotland with

his sister, a little older, and their uncle
