LEAVES HER MOORINGS Theres Hustle and Bustle, Theres Tussel and Turmoil butthe Chaos Finally Meets and the Tugs do bthe Rest. 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. —H Stmtlm conservatory of MUSIC, Established in 1885 This is the only Conserva tory of Music in this part of the Southern States.
