was rejoicing. Several came on board asking if we had seen such a 

 vessel since the gale. The town was in commotion. Such anxiety 

 I hope never again to witness. 



When the vessel came alongside the wharf, I put my luggage out, 

 and concluded not to repeat the experiment of making a trip to 

 Georges in midwinter. When I got home, they told me I had grown 

 much older in the few weeks of my absence. What I experienced 

 during that night and day of storm was enough to make any one, 

 especially a green hand, grow old. I have no wish to try it again. 

 If the reader wishes a similar experience, perhaps it woul(J be well 

 for him to take a trip, but I advise all such to make their wills ere 

 they leave port.
