The American sisters caught the 12:30 o'clock train for Southampton, not buy ing hod time to eat lnnchcon. Four hoars later they were on their steamer, tired and hungry and sleepy, bnt tri umphant. ON TUB OCEAN. Every one on the vessel was most kind to the young women and landed their plnck to the skies. The voyage would for this reason have been made pleasant for them, but their hurry and lack of sleep, together with their nervo tension, made them easy prey for man's mortal enemy, seasickness. From the time tile big steamer left England until she swept up New York harbor the weather was uncompromisingly rough. Not one day was fair. When the young women reached the steamer they were utterly exhausted, and at once went io bed This set tho stewardess to grumbling. She wanted tho girls to appeur at the dinner table on the first day at least. "Oh, don't urge us to go to dinner again," cried Miss F wearily, and then she told tho woman tho experience through which they had just passed. “Yon [xior little dears.” said the woman, at once becoming* gentle, and for the rest of the voyage she neglected every one else to look after “tho brave . little American ladies.” Men and women joined in little court esies and attentions to the two girls. One old ernsty Englishman seemed to take offense if any one monopolized their attention. He became their loyal guard ian and walked around like u great pro tecting mastiff. It was he who stood on the deck with them on the day that the girls turned their eager eyes toward the Statue of Liberty. The new friends of “the brave little American ladies” ad vised them to stay in New York for one day to get a little rest They would not listen to such pleasant urging*. The stewardess actually wept over their de termination tohurry on to San Francisco. HO BIST FOB THEM. “Only get one night's sleep,” she pleaded, but the girls had been told to come home as soon as possible, and thoy were deaf to all entreaties. The steamer was at her pier at 4 A) p. in., and a train left Jersey City at 1:80 p. m. In that two hoars the girls left tiie steamer, hod their tranks ex amined by. the custom bouse 'officials 1 and were driven to the railroad statioh. Their adoring old Englishman, who did not look ns if he had moved rapidly in forty years, fretted and hustled around the tranks when they wore being opened. He was in mortal terror lest the girls would miss the train after all. He stamped, got red in the face, puffed violently and fiuaUy recovered the bag- :gage with a cry of exultation, The train which started westward that even ing carried with two white faced young women the good wishes of a shipload of passengers. • “No woman but an American would undertake such a tiling,” said the Eng lishman, looking at two bits of of white lace where two handkerchiefs flattered at the car window as the train rolled out of tho station, "and," he added, “no woman but an American could succeed in such au undertaking,” For the benefit of those who are inter ested to know how the trip ended, and ^ to satisfy those who tike to foUow trans atlantic records, it may lie said that the young women reached home in safety.

Our rations while in Richmond we es timated at two to four ounces of beef and six to eight ounces of good wheat bread. To supplement this wo made counterfeit greenbacks, which wo were sometimes able to pass on unsuspecting guards. Once, by cutting out the figures from a tcu cent scrip and with a little blood glning this over the figure one in a dollar greenback, myself and three comrades bought with this bogus ten JVJ lar bill ninety loaves of good bread, and it was the only time while I was in the Confederacy that I made a full meal.
