IN THE EAST INDIES. 13 
mail there will be no train to Dublin tonight and we 
shall have to go to the Queen’s hotel for the night and 
start for Dublin on Wednesday morning. 
I am writing this to you in my bunk where I 
have been since the day after I left Boston. The last 
four days have been very rough, but by keeping still 
I have so far been able to eat heartily and by pepper- 
ing all food furiously persuade it to stay down. Ros. 
has been up every day but yesterday and the day be- 
fore and is now on deck. She has not been actively 
seasick at all. ‘There are quite a number of Boston 
people on board, so she is not lonely on deck. ALI on 
board have been very kind to us. Mr. Vernon Brown 
gave them notice to look after us. We have had special 
meals cooked every day and very excellent food was 
the result. Ask father if he will not drop Mr. Brown 
a few lines of thanks, if father has his stenographer in 
the woods with him, and tell him how very good every 
one has been to us. 
We were greatly amused at reading the news- 
paper clippings about the wedding. Do be sure to 
send us any you have from the New York papers as 
you get them. * * 5 
This letter is written under difficuties as I am as 
dizzy as a clown and the boat is very, very far from 
being steady. I will send Rob and grandmother a 
short note each, so I will ask you to read this letter to 
them. Tell Warren that we both send him lots of love 
and hope he will kill plenty of deer. Be sure to write 
us often what kind of luck you are having and all the 
news you can think of. I shall try this trip and see 
if I can really write you some decent letters, but this 
one does not count.
