If it were possible I am sure
there would not be early morning
sailingST But as the .vessels have
to go on the night stage of the
tide, of cpurse the leaving lands
vary, and as the vessel we were to
go in left early in the mornii g
we had to go aboard the night be
fore.
We went down to the pier about
10 P. M. and my, what a lively
place,cabs rushing in with their
passengers and baggage; trucks
loaded with everything procurable,
people rushing around,it is surely
a lively place.
Trunks and all kinds of baggage
was piled up as high as small
houses and we wondered if we
should ever see our trunks again,
soon a very small man with very
strong lungs came down the pier
with a crowd of men and he called
out numbers so fast that we could
not understand what he said, but
the men evidently did, for the bag
gage was soon placed in its proper
placeson board the vessel.
Here comes a party of young
men going abroad ou there vaca
t,ion ; then we see a carriage drive
up containing a family and you
cannot help but feel sorry for the
pnenfs. they are trying to keep
up with the children.
A sick lady gets out of one of
the carriages; she is carried ten
derly up the gangway she is from
Chester England, going home, She
never spoke to anyone only ex
pressed her thauks for any little
attention by a nod of the head.
Now we see quite a string of
carriages rolling up and we soon
see by the merry party and know
by talk that it is a newly married
couple going abroad on there
honeymoon.
Midnight draws near and tired
out with the excitement we went
to our stateroom and were soon a
sleep.
[’he steerage pessengms after ar
riving at the pier pick out a com
fortable corner where they remain
ed until daylight as they like to
stay out as long as possible from
there close and not very comforta
ble quarters:
At the ontrance to the pier were
several men who had cups and
pots, beds pillows blankets a regu
lar steerage out fit for 75 cents.
Early the following morning
we were up as all seemed bustle
and confusion Friends came down
to the pier to say good bye.
The laaving time had arrived the
gang way were rolled back.a long
shrill whistle and the great ship
began slowly to move out in the
stream, two tugs belching great
volumns of smtke assisted in get
ting her bow pointed down stream
In a few hours we rounded San
dy Hook, then our Pilot left us
and the shore could no longer be
seen then wi fully realize that we
were on the broad Atlantic.
