HOME AGAIN. 



365 



able passage of six days we arrived at the port, where we 

 were pleasantly received by English naval officers and our 

 consul, Mr. Howard. 



Crossing from Hull overland we arrived at Liverpool, and 

 were met by Consul Packard of that port, Consul Shaw of 

 Manchester, and others. A delightful banquet was given 

 here by Consul Packard, upon which occasion 1 had the 

 pleasure of meeting the mayor and other citizens. 



Leaving Liverpool on the White Star steamer "Celtic,'' 

 we reached New York where friends soon surrounded us, 

 and we were " home again from a foreign shore." 



In conclusion, I would advise travelers who may be looking 

 for an interesting locality to visit, to try Russia and a trip 

 across the Ural Mountains into Siberia, traveling by rail, 

 steamboat, and horses. There is much of fine natural scenery. 

 In the summer the weather is delightful. Plenty of good, 

 wholesome food may be obtained, and the expenses need not 

 be heavy. With these concluding remarks I leave the reader.
