December, 1920 
with some of them and found them 
sportsmen in its best sense, as most 
Englismen usually are. 
We were favored by having smooth 
seas and balmy, moonlit nights during 
the voyage. On the first night there 
were numerous, segregated groups about 
the decks, each enjoying itself in its 
own fashion by conversation, story-tell- 
ing, etc. An English Bishop was the 
center of a large group of admirers, near 
us, and as the conversation drifted to 
the subject of customs duties and the 
ways of evading them, the good Bishop 
was prevailed on to say something in 
regard to the matter. It is a matter of 
fact that many people who are strictly 
honest in ordinary affairs of life, do not 
scruple to avoid the payment of customs 
duties whenever they can do so. And 
the good Bishop was tempted to say 
something that was not wholly within 
the sanction of the cloth. To his atten- 
tive listeners he said: 
“I had a friend who was traveling in 
Italy, where tney are very strict in re- 
gard to tobacco, the government having 
a monopoly of the manufacture and 
sale of it. My friend, who was a 
smoker, had some tobacco in his bag, 
and thinking to avoid the payment of 
duty on it, he handed the revenue official 
a piece of money, which, I suppose was 
not large enough to meet the fellow’s 
idea, and the scoundrel reported him, 
and it gave my friend serious trouble!” 
The responses to this from his audience 
were: “Contemptible!” “My word!” 
“Just fancy!” “Extrord’nary !” etc. 
On the next evening a group of con- 
genial ladies and gentlemen occupied a 
corner of the deck, and being musically 
inclined, and with the help of a guitar, 
mandolin and banjo, they sang many of 
the popular songs of the day, from light 
opera and the music halls, and then fol- 
lowed the inevitable and incomparable 
Old Folks at Home and Old Kentucky 
Home, which were being sung the world 
over. But the best song of the evening 
was one by a London “bagman,” or 
commercial traveler, who was pos- 
sessed of a magnificent barytone voice, 
and as he sang with great feeling and 
correctness : 
“Kathleen Mavourneen, the gray dawn 
is breaking, 
The ’orn of the ’unter is ’erd on the ’ills” 
we failed to notice the ellipsis of the 
H’s in consideration of his fine voice 
and the beauty of the song. 
Then one of our quondam friends 
said: “Now let’s have Marching 
Through Georgia, and our American 
friends will sing the verses, and we’ll 
all come in strong on the chorus!” But 
with shame and mortification we con- 
fessed that we knew- only the refrain. 
Then the bagman sang it through, every 
verse, and sang it well. I made what 
amends I could by borrowing the banjo 
and giving them some real old planta- 
tion melodies, which they seemed to like. 
A S we approached Alexandria th 
first object to meet our gaze was 
the famous Pompey’s Pillar, a red 
granite column about a hundred feet 
in height. Soon there loomed up numer- 
ous windmifis with immense revolving
