Letters from the Far East . e of thewaiters got sick, and the doctor admitted that therewas a very heavy sea. We were blessed with a wonderfully kind and effi-cient stewardess and cabin-boy; the latter, as well asall the waiters, being Chinese. He told us he had beento sea sixteen years, and didnt get sick now, althoughhe used to. The next day, though painfully aware we were pitch-ing, we realized that the water had grown somewhatsmoother, and that we were not shipping seas as wehad done the day previous. Our cabin-boy also an-nounced that it was little more better. Sabbath morning, September 30, was clear and saw the inspection, on deck, of the entire crew bythe officers. Afterward we attended divine service inthe dining-saloon. The service of the Church of En-gland was read by the captain. The British jack cov-ered the table which served as a reading-desk. Early in the morning of October 2, we passed theAleutian Islands in the distance. They were barelyvisible, and not many were on deck to see them. It. Birds-eye View of The Bluff, Yokohama
