On Board the Steamship "Kensington".
1897.
July 4.
 Latitude, 41 40 N.
 Longitude, 47 30 W.
 Run - - - - 319 Miles
 Cloudy with strong N.E. wind, high sea and fog dense e-
nough to bring the visible horizon within half a mile or less,
but not sufficient to require the use of our whistle. No ani-
mal life reported to-day, but in the evening a flying fish of
some six inches in length came on board and was picked up by
one of the stewards who disemboweled it and stuffed it with
tobacco!
 The Kensington proves to be a phenomenally steady ship.
She rolls and pitches but little, and the seas break against
her sides as against a cliff or an iceberg.
