As we neared the Hindostan, she answered our signals and fired a salute, while some missionaries on board waved the small banner of our country, which we Americans usually carry with us in lieu of a pocket-handkerchief. As the firing was somewhat unex- 42 TWO MONTHS' TRAVEL pected, and our carronades had fallen into disuse, we could not reply immediately ; but I offered to superintend the artil- lery, and by means of a kitchen skewer, which I found, made an excellent priming wire ; we cleared t...he vents, and were soon ourselves blazing away. As neither ship could go into Penang before morning, and it was of no use to hurry, we continued in company, exchanged cheers, and drank cham- pagne to each other's health. Our steward gave us as a rare Christmas treat " mangosteens" for dessert. After some discussion as to whether they should be cut lengthwise or across, we agreed that either way they were a delicious fruit. After dark they lit up the other ship with Chinese lanterns, and, as we could hear the scraping of a fiddle, we surmised that they were getting up a dance with the ladies among their passengers.
