On our trip from Hampton Roads to Trinidad there was nolhintr of a j serious nature to occur with the machinery of any of the vessels but on the Alabama there was a death and funeral at sea. It was one of tiro first burials at sea that T had ever witnessed and it proved to be one of the most impressive ceremonies that 1 have witnessed since 1 have been in the service. Promptly at 4 o'clock the burial ceremony hetran and at that time every engine on all Ihe l(> vessels were stopped and until the ceremony was completed the ships were allowed lo drift with the sea. ft very flats-, of course, was hauled to half mast. All the officers and every man of the crow not 0:1 duty attended the burial which took place from the quarter deck. We were at Trin.idnd for nearly a week and I really enjoyed the stay there. The island is the largest' of the Lesser Antilles, ranking, in fact, iu point of size, next lit I'orto Kieo. In Trinidad is to lie seen the greatest curiosity in the whole ol the West I ml ion archipelago?a natural phenomenon such as exists nowhere else in the world. This is the famous asphalt lake. The basin is entirely filled with asphalt, the surface of which is nearly everywhere strimy; enough to bear your weight. The lake is broken by fissures where I ho pitch evidently oozing up from various centers h;is failed to unite into one compact mass. These lismiivs vary I'imiu a few inches to several yards in depth and extent and hiv usually lill.'d with water.
