We took our bags into the Custom House and opened them, and I sat down on mine, and immediately went to sleep. WE TOOK OUR BAGS INTO THE CUSTOM HOUSE AND OPENED THEM AND I SAT DOWN ON MINE AND IMMEDIATELY WENT TO SLEEP
nd telling me that I was in the neighbourhood of something to eat and drink, spurred me to vigour and action. I hurried down into the saloon and there found B. He excused himself for having left me alone all night--he need not have troubled himself. I had not pined for him in the least. If the only woman I had ever loved had been on board, I should have sat silent, and let any other fellow talk to her that wanted to, and that felt equal to it--by explaining that he had met a friend and that they had been talking. It appeared to have been a trying conversation. I also ran against the talkative man and his companion. Such a complete wreck of a once strong man as the latter looked I have never before seen. Mere sea-sickness, however severe, could never have accounted for the change in his appearance since, happy and hopeful, he entered the railway-carriage at Victoria six short hours ago. His friend, on the other hand, appeared fresh and cheerful, and was relating an anecdote about a cow.
