of us were too boor eo we eat up all night and slept in our chairs the little that we did sleep it was very little that I 1 slept I 1 cm tell you I 1 was not sick because it was just as smooth as glass at day light I 1 was out on the deck trying to see a little of lake erie there was one thing there that amused me and that was the many birds of all kinds that were around the shiland shi we were out of aagut ot land too I 1 guaba they were just coming from the south and decided to make use of the ship and not nave to fly BO much while I 1 was sit ting on the deck at the back of the boat soma of those birds would alight within a yard of me on the railing borne 1 have seen before and bome were strange to me we landed at cleveland at 6 it was a great sight to see those large move aole bridges turn to one side and let the ship pass on up the biyer we had traveled about miles on the lake eie E ie it was again our intention to all go around r lor hv so doing wo cauli get cut rates to an electric car eight of two having got separated from os and started lor rutland the main object of our trip flenty miles on the street cars going east brought as to Willow bough from there to kirtland ia three and a halt miles we all started out afoot to go it made me feel very queer to oa walk bog on the ground that our people had been mobbed on after about one half hours walk we came in sight of the little city of kirtland the first thing that 1 saw was the te ranle no one had to tell us which was the temp leit is the largest and dy far the best building around there wa could hardly wait till we got to the temple mr balley and I 1 ran nearly all the way the building does not seem to be very much the worse for wear the presiding elders of the josephite church there came over aid took us through it I 1 had my camera along and took a number of pictures nearly everything is as it was when the people were driven from it there were some few things destroyed by the mob but they have beau replace J just as they were I 1 saw the very eland and piece of timber that the savior was seen to stand on at the dedication we did not let our guide know who we were except that we were students from the university of michigan he raked our people over some we went all through the temple from basement to towers it is not held aa as our temples are to us they use that burldine buil dine for an ordinary meeting house it is very much neglected the halls are after we bad been through we told the gentleman that we were from utah HO was quite surprised and astonished but after he got over the shock he was all right again he hoped we would soon see our evil way and repent all this time y u remember two of our company wese enst aa we were leaving the other boya came and the old man took the trouble to go all it again I 1 took a of the house the prophet lived in and in which the josephite president was born I 1 learned much about se people that I 1 never knew before oj our way hack to cleveland our car passed near a cemetery I 1 read in deiy large lutters on one of the bonu mante the word 1 could not see w hat it meant because I 1 could not slop by this time we were baite tired eo we went down and sot auto the earns old boat and in which at 10 we were to leave for t cllveland is a very dirty and smoky city I 1 doat think I 1 should ever care to live there but kirtland
