THE SALE OF GALTEE MORE 59 



Harwicli for Russia in charge of the late Tom 

 McLean, Pearce, his boy, having accompanied him 

 as far as the boat, s.s. Berlin. 



He was berthed, I beheve, on the starboard 

 quarter of the main deck, where there were stalls 

 for three horses, all of which stalls were knocked 

 into one for his accommodation. The amply 

 sufficient box thus made was well padded, and the 

 deck, besides having the usual footholds, was 

 thickly strewn with ashes, and then straw laid 

 over all. As soon as the horse was on board 

 tarpaulins were ready to close in the space where 

 he was, and prevent his seeing a number of dealer's 

 horses. None of these however were allowed to 

 stand anywhere near him. 



He reached his destination quite safely, and was 

 by far the most successful stallion in Russia while 

 he remained there.
