cherish the recollections of their huge bowl of deliciovis 

 stewed scallops, their qiiahog stews, qiiahog pies, quahog 

 fritters, clam chowders, steamed clams, boiled clams, 

 fresh boiled cod, fish balls with the accompaniment of 

 thin slices of raw Bermuda onions, fresh cucumbers, the 

 finest of butter, Java coffee, and water that made nu^ heart 

 thump when I tasted it to think how long, oh, how long 

 it will be before we can hope to see an American city 

 supplied with such sparkling aqua pura I Now, to this 

 magnificent bill of fare, please add ravenous appetites for 

 one and all of us from our open air exercise, and what 

 wonder then that when we turn into our l)unks sweet 

 sleep, sleep without bromides, sleep without hop pillows, 

 or without any other soporific spur, at once embraces us, 

 and in spite of the pounding of the surf at our very 

 doors, in spite of the storm and its thunder pounding in 

 the sky above us, we awake not until Alonzo, the guide, 

 says: " Gentlemen, gentlemen, the tide's aflowin' in," 

 and everybody gets up.
