Excerpt from My Journal in Foreign Lands
HE first day at sea! Who can describe the novelty of the situation or picture the shifting scenes of the highly colored panorama! All within bustling and busy; all without unchangeable and tireless. Our steward says the sea is so smooth that he scarcely knows the ship is moving. But far other wise does it seem to me. We started out on one of the most glorious mornings I have ever known; the sun shining in its strength, the ocean a sapphire sea covered with a thousand snowy crests, laugh ing and leaping with delight. Now up, now down, our good ship rears and plunges, a splendid witness to the skill of man and the overruling Hand of God. We have one hundred and eighty-four saloon passengers, and with the sailors, waiters, officers, &c., I judge we do not carry more than two hun dred and fifty souls. We have spent the entire day on deck and taken a good deal of exercise, so that by this time (9 P. M.) everyone is pretty well played out, and all seem to be lounging around in durance vile, as the evening hours wear away.
