: We anc} ored ed in the harbor for the night land at 8:

on Sonday morping failedoui. A dread- ful wind was on all Satarday night so tha ov Sunday a five old sea met us at the mouth of the harbor. A church parade was ordered for 10.30, but at that hour myself and abnut 300 cflizers and men were no } visible. * * * * The second day out we Nad our frst funeral, “Agiliy, D Batters 512, a" Le Was ¢ thi (te I know e . )

There is a fine lovof fellows on bosrd —one of the most int-resting men is “Gat- ‘ing-zun Howard.” He is ta!!, about 6 feet, bubbling over with stories of the American Civil warand Noribwest re- bellion. * ° * He keeps things lively at the cinner table and has everyone laughing—(there he isnow * * * just come in from giving the monkey some whiskey. although he doesn’t touch a

e igutaing and heavy seas-—

drop himself.) He has the most com- plete kit of aimost everything you can mention. * * * Lieut.-Col.

Ryerson, Red Cross Commissioner, is an- other most interesting maa with a breast full of decorations, full of stories of all sorts regarding men andthings, * * * Among the men there are ‘‘are all sorts and conditions of men.” There isa son of General —— — —— , (rho died the otter day) in the ranks as a ganocer, a big hand- some, fad-faced man, six fret three inches high. Thereare bank clerks, lawyers, doc- tore, twodivinity stadente, electricians and all professions. * * A!! hands look par- ticularly rough just vow as there is an order against sbaving and ten day’s growth doesn’t look pleasant. * * * As soon as I got over my sea-sickness,I went to the Major and told him that as this Was now a Queen’s snip there should be daily prayers. He asked when I would have them, and [ said at the general parade at 9u.m. * * So wheo

the parade forins up I have an eight minute service * * At10350 (the eec- yod Sunday ont) I had the church parade They rigged up.a sort of reading desk on the deck out of barrels covered with flags.

The four purses are bere on board with 1s. The senior is an English girl named Miss Harcombe, I tnink they have a good influence on the men. I never saw a more temperate lot of men anywhere, in all respects of language and drink.

I forget to imention that tae Boers ac- tually offered Howard a large banus to join them with his guns. He has a pre- sentiment that they will pot him if they can.”
