Leaving Durham on the 7:30 a. In. train 26th May, I arrived‘in Dundas about 12:15 p. m. then leaving Don das on the 27th with the 3:30 trolley car I arrived in Hamilton about 4:15 p. m. thence by boat ‘ Tbe anbina, ” for Toronto on the 28th arriving about 11.30 a. m, and spending the day and night in Toronto. left by the 9:15 a. 1:). train for Montreal arriving at 7:15 p. m. and gOt on board the S S. Sicilian at 8 p m. and went to have my first sleep on the boat about 10:15 9. m. Rising at 3:45 a. m. I was in time to see the tags hitched on and sneer our but clear of the docks and leave us at 4:55 a. m We then went sail- ing down the St. Lawrence under the ship’s own steam, with a. pilot to teer n, to Quebec at which point we arrived at 4:15 p. m. At Quebec we took on another pnlct to steer us to Father Point. where we then let him 0E and sailed under our own Csptain Fairfull. At 5 p. m. on 30th May. we had a splendid view of Montmorency Falls which looked lovely as the sun was shining on them and gave the falling water a lovely aspect, be) and my pen to descnbe. Thursday. the 213t of May, the weather being nice all passengers were on deck and about 11 a. m. we sighted the S. S Pomeranian. which signalled “ Hazy but no we " At. 4 p. m. we passed and axgnalled Cape Magdalene. Friday, is: June, cbe weather was fine up all 8 p m. when we ran into a fog and the Captain slowed down for the rest of the night. Saturday, 2nd June, was very fog- gie and one ship passed on our star beard blowing net [0; burn, but. as mght. wore on and we were nearing the ice belt. our :aptuin stopped the eugmes at 6:50 p. m. and kept blow- mg the 10;; now all night, which is very disagreeable, LU nu paswngers Wishing to swap. Sunday 3rdJuue the Captain order- ed the engines to start at half speed at 6 a. m. Still foggy and every- thing on board very quiet as all were on the lookout to see if we were nearing an iceberg. and as it was still dangerous the Captain again StOpped the engines at 1:2 midnight till 6:30 a. m. the following morning. June 4th was still foggy, but as it was clearing away we gOt a fairly good view of a huge iceberg about midday and gor. also a nice cold breeze from same, until We got about 10 or 12 miles past. As I was the first pass- enger to see the iceburg I sent word all round and in a few minutes every one was on deck watching it, and for the rest of the day we were looking to see if there were any more but that was all we had the pleasure of seeing. Tuesday 5th was very fine in the morning but. as the fog came down very dense the engines were slowed down for a while. Wednesday 60h. still very leggy all day and about. 3:45 p. m. another passed our starboard but we could not see it About 10 p. m. the fog cleared 05 and as the full moon shone out it was a lovely sight. to see its rays on a blue expanse of water. and nearly all passengers Came on deck (0 see same. Thursday the 7th was a lovely day the sun shiaing all the time and all the passengers seemed to have more life in them. At 4:30 p. m. we pass- ed a Norwegian boat the S. S. Thors- dol which came quite close to signal. Friday the 8th was rather dull and a lot cooler but dry. At noon we passed the S SSiberian which signal- led “ all well.” She seemed to have a large number of passengers on board. After dinner 1 went down and had alook at the engines and went along the tunnel where the propeller snaft runs and then into the stockhuld and saw the boilers, which is a great sight and of great in terest to me. Saturday . 9th June. very mca morn- ing it got a little dull and hazy un- til ubout4 p m. W hen the sun broke through again about tea. time we got a nice view of a few whales and at 8 p m we passud Tory Point on the north of Ireland but. it. became foggy again and we Were snowed down for the mos: of the night. As I wanted to get the that eight! of Scotland I got out of bunk at 4:30: a. m.. but as it was very foggy we were not going fast and as I got on deck we had just cleared a schooner by about 3:: inches. Had we run it down it was their own fault as they were nOt blowing their horn as they ought to have done under the cir- cnmstances. At about 6 a. m. we were about the Mull of Kimyre and as we were got in; dead slow at 6:30 a. In. the tag began to clear the Captain ordered the engines {all Speed ahead and as we got out of the fog the sun began to shine and then such a sight Letter From Scotland J ohnsmn, 18/6/06. :3 met our gaze is beyond the power of men to describe. Just to the N. E. corner of the Mull of Kin- tyre is the smell Ielend cf Sande. with its great lighthouse and to see its beautiful whiteness made one gaze upon it with wonder at its neetnese and Strength standing out on its huge hese of rock. Passing Sanda we come in sight of? Pladda lighthouse and island and‘ then get a glimpse of the island of Arran and as the boat draws nearer one gets a view of its towering mountains glittering in the sun, as we had the good fortune and pleasure of seeing, I shall never forget the sight and the exclamation of one of the passengers. a Dr. Mitchell from Chicago. 111.. U. S. A., who was epell- bound and was just able to exclaim “Beautiful. beautiful. beautiful!” I asked him what he thought of the scenery as compared with American scenery and he admitted that this had beaten everything he had ever seen or conceived of. There were the great rugged hills and points as if they had been shaped by some great sculptor as there was a finished refinement to every point of beauty. Having seen the entrance to New York harbor myself on a lovely sum- mer day four years and four days previous to again seeing the Firth of Clyue, I thought it was very. very beautiful and then coming down the St. Lawrence on my homeward trip. I thought it beat the scenery at New York, but when I again saw the Firth of Clyde everything was eclipo sed bv its grandeur. I had seen all round the Firth many times in my lifetime. but never did it seem to so fascinate me as at this time. Then passing along the Island of Arran we came to Holy Island with its great lighthouse and perpendicular clifis or rocks which are very dangerous to mariners. Arran has a number of small towns all situated on the shore of small bays. It was lovely to see all the small yachts with their white sails fluttering in the breeze. We then came to the Island of Bute with its green fields and lovely houses. and sweet Rothsay Bay dot ted all over with yachts of all sizes and kinds. Looking from the Other side of the boat we could see the Ayrshire coast with the town of Stevenson in the distance where Noble's great explosive works extend for miles along the sand hills along the shore; and Saltcoats and Ardros- san with its great docks and ships from all parts of the world especially from Spain earring iron ore for the great smelting works at Stevenson and Glengarnoch and Glasgow. Now we have land on both sides and to see everything of importance keeps one busy and to write about them all correccly woald fill a good sized book, suflice for me to mention them as we pass along. On our port side or left side of ship we have the towns of Innellan and Dunoon with its Ballochmyle sandstone statute of ‘° Burn’s High land Mary” near the pier. And on our Starboard or right side of the ship we have the Cumbraes. two small islands. one with a. fine light- house and the other the fine water- ing place, the town of Millpott. and just beyond them on the main land we hove the small town of Fairley where the designer of Sir T. Lipton’s yachts the Shamrocks was born and lives. and three miles further on the town of Large with its towering church Steeples and sandy beach. J 11% Breathe Hyomei Four Times a Day and Be Cured. Nos until Hyomei was discovered. had it been possible to say truthfully that a remedy for cacarrh was known. Stomach dragging often causes disordered digestion and never makes a permanent. cure of catarrh. Hy- omei not only kills the germs in the throat and nose, but penetrates to the minutes: air cells in the lungs and enters the blood with the oxy- gen killing che curarrhal germs in the blood. Hyomei cures the were: cases of catarrh simply by breathing the rem- edy :hrough the pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit. Using the treatment in this way for a few min- utes four times a day, every particle of air taken in the air passages and lungs is laden with germ killing and health giving Hyomei. The complete Hyomei outfit. con siSting of a vase-pocket inhaler and medicine dropper, and a borcle of Hyomei, costs only 31. If this does not efieCt a complete cure, extra bon- tles can be obtained for 50 cents. If you cannot obtain Hyomei of your dealer it will be forwarded by mail postage paid. on receipt of price.

Y. 00 the same: shore a few miles fur- Cures Worst Catarrh. DURHAM CHRONICLE ther on we have the Cloch and Sher- marlie lighthouses The shore here has a lovely aspect as there are a great number of wealthy residences among the trees, which are very nice in their summer foliage of green. We then came in sight of Gurock! with its bay filled with yachts and ships and just beyond we got our first view of the new C. P. R steam- er. “ The Empress of Ireland” lying at anchor just 03 Greenoch where we got two tugs on to steer us up the Clyde and the‘ changes from here to Glasgow surprised me as there are so many new factories and houses since I left four years ago that I could hardly believe it to be the same place and to see all the hawthorn hedges in bloom, some white and some red held nearly all the passengers Spellbound. I might say here that these haw- thorne hedges are used mostly for fences and to look at them surround- ing green fields and houses in Straight lines is a sight not to bel forgotten. .. We now pass Port Glasgow with its fine shipbuilding yards on our right, and then come to Dumbarton with its great rock and old castle and Denny’s great shipbuilding yards where the yachts “ The Shamrocks” were built for Sir T. Lipton of yacht ifame, trying for the American cup. iDumbarton has greatly increased lsince I saw it last, with its new factories of huge proportions and lnew dwellings one can hardly con- ceive of its being all donein so short ‘ a time as four years. We now come to the great ship- building 3‘ards. and I might say the largest and most up-to date yards in the world at present, is here built since 1 left and it known by the name Bairdmore’s shipbuilding yard We had a lovely view of the larg-l est ship afloat which was launched on the Thursday (7th June) previous to our seeing it, the Lusitania, own- ed by the Cunard Steam Ship Co. I herewith give you a few of her di-' mensions: Length, 785 feet. breadth. moulded. 88 feet; depth, moulded, 60 feet 6 inches , gross tonnage, 32 500 tons (of 2,-40 lbs to the ton); load draught, 33 feet; launching weight. 16,000 tons There are about four million rivets in the Structure. and these alone probably weigh close on 500 zone. The total weight of the‘ rudder alone is 65 tons. There are '23 cylindrical boilers designed to work at 195 lbs. per square inch. and they are divided into four groups in four separate stockholds. and for each stockhola there is an uptake with a funnel or smokestack. These fun- nels rise to 154 feet above the keel, and their diameter is 24 feet ol oval plan so as to reduce the efiect of wind pressure when the vessel is go- ing full speed. The navigating bridge is 110 feet above the keel, while the masts are 210, which will carry the usual gear in connection with trans mission and receiving of Marconi grams now a great feature in the or. . ganization of the Cunard liner. The :engine power is of the Turbin type 3 and is put about 40. 000 indicated l horse power. The launch of this I great liner was one of the most suc- cessful ever performed. and was wit- nessed by over 20,000 spectators. There are alone 7,000 of all kinds em- ployed in this great yard at the Clydebank. Now passing Kilbowie where the great ” Singer” sewing machines are manufactured with its 9.000 workers and houses to accommodate them; it is wonderful and one has to see it to believe the amount of work done on the Clyde. It is away beyond my power to describe 9.11,. that is to be seen, but I hape these few notes will give a little idea of what is going on in this small country and only in one small part of it Still passing shipyards and docks we came to the Allan Line Planta- tions quay or dock at about 3:45 p. m. on Sunday the 10:h June almost two days behind time owing to the great amount of fog that we came through as you will netice from the forego- mg. After getting my trunk and grip passed by the cuStoms officers at 4:45 I made for the trolley car to get out home. By the way, when I left here there Was no such thing running out to my native home, Johnstone, nor were they even Started operations. and it meant a great saving of time as I covered the ten miles in about forty-five minutes passing through Paisley and all along the line there were great changes and improve- ments that I could hardly believe it was the same road. I arrived at my home about 5:45 p. m. and was given a right hearty wel- come by my father and morher and other friends, who were no: expect ing me until about the following Tuesday. I visit, but for the presenc will con- clude with best wishes for all friends and hoping this will not be too dry for your readers, I remain yours sin- cerely, and improving in health, , You know at least one of them, had Consumption. At first it was only catsrrhâ€"but it was neglected. When “Catarrhozone” cures so quickly it’s foolish to sufierâ€"it’s a shame to keep on snifieling and hawk- ing. Catarthozone goes direct to the cause of the disease,â€"thst’s why it’s so dead certain to cure. It staps the cough, prevents that disgusting dis- charge. clears phlegm out of the threat in five minutes. Very pleas- snt and safe too; get Catsrrhozone from your druggist to day.
