THE GULF STREAM.
This stream is well known to all
students . and ocean voyagers. Wa
were una! ale to distinguish its change -> *
of water ixom the general ocean, but
upon patting a thermometer in the
water we found it 85 degrees, and the
speed of c nr vessel was increased by
its velocity alone some sixty miles a
day. After a few days the captain
changed tils coarse a little .North, ?o finally
we sailed away from its waters.
We were much engaged in watching
and trying to learn the nantical way
in which longitude and latitudes were ?a
taken. The latitude is taken when the
ship is dus east by means of a quad- m
rant. Ths longitude, of course, when
the sun stops going up. Having these
data the exact position of the ship is
determined with great accuracy. A
matter 01 interest, each day is
the question of bow many utiles
have we made, the carrents, the
winds and the otber things causing a
difference each day.
Tbe passengers (who can) eat breakfast
8d a. m., lunch 1 p. m., dinner
(in courses) 6 p. m., and tea, if desired
at 10 p. m. There is generally a fair

they say many warm friendships are
