For these reasons it seems desirable to supplement his own brief narrative of his first visits to the States by extracts from his correspondence at the time. S. S. Germanic, near Sable Island, Play/air to his Daughter. August 7, 0th, 1877. My dzarest Jessie, So far we have had a remark- ably prosperous and fine voyage, and we hope to reach New York about ten o'clock to-morrow (Friday) night. If we do, it will be the quickest voyage on record. On only one day we had a gale, which split two sails..., and con- fined me to bed till lunch time. For the rest it has been like a yachting excursion. The passengers are a meny lot of people. Last night we had a solemn trial, before a judge and jury, of a passenger who had proposed marriage to six young ladies. The counsel did their part very cleverly. The culprit was found guilty, but recommended to mercy on account of his age. I thought the whole thing a piece of excellent nonsense ; but two of the lady witnesses assured me that he had actually proposed to them, although he is notoriously a married man.
