158 CONCLUSION. 



a proper sense of mutual interests ought un- 

 ceasingly to unite them. 



On Saturday the 17th of July at eleven A. M. 

 I embarked in the Britannia for Old England, 

 and arrived at Liverpool at seven p. M. on the 

 29th, after a passage of twelve days from Bos- 

 ton, and only nine days twenty hours from 

 Halifax. 



On my taking leave of Captain Cleland he 

 jocosely addressed me in these words : " You 

 have now crossed the Atlantic in shorter time 

 than ever it was crossed since the Atlantic was 

 the Atlantic, and you may tack that to the 

 rest of your feats"
