Desirous of obtaining genealogy, and needing a vacation, as we were somewhat run down in health, my husband and I came to the conclusion thatr we would take a trip to the old country, rconse-quentwe left Bingham Coj, Idaho, in May, for Salt Lake City, visiting also Taylorsville and Provo, on the way, to have a look at old friends.

So we "Mormons," as the term, goes, sat together enjoying ourselves with others who asked to be in our pafty on board. Different countenances bespoke of a variety of thought and feelings, some looked sorrowful, having just parted with their loved ones, while others, their countenances beamed with delight at the thoughts of the vacation and rest they were about to realize; others appeared feariul of getting seasick; as I was always under the impression that there are more passengers sick on the first, day than any other time, or later on .1 asked the stewardess if it were so.. She answered in the negative; said when the ship was right out in the ocean we feel the motion of JheyesseJ more, consequently there were more sick about the fourth day. Then some have their appetites sharpened by the sea breeze and do not restrain, therefore they get a little , bilious about, that time. r On the morning of the second day we felt a , little unsteady on first getting up, but decided to eat nothing but a lemon, and hurry on deck to get all the' fresh air obtainable, which was plenty. We even forgot that there was anything like seasickness. However, most of the passengers were enjoying themselves, and soon passing the time reading, conversing and writing, also promenading the vessel and some singing as they walked the deck.
