CHARMING TRAVELOG FROM VERSATILE PEN MRS. DOWDNEY CLARK CAMEO SKETCHES OK MEN; ,\NO EVENTS HRILLIANTt.Y | EXECUTED Gilbert Chesterton claims that ' the Hallmark of litelary excellence, is the ability to clothe the common- 1 place incidents of life, and common- I place people with the glamor of I Mrs. T. Dowdrey Clark, one of the most gifted among our sum- 1 mer residents, possesses the faculty 1 to a remarkable degree. Some few- weeks ago, we an- I nounded through the columns of I the Sentinel, that Mrs. Clark was ' on the eve of another .extensive ex- < cursion through Europe and Asia. 1 We announced moreover, that Mrs. ■ Clark had graciously promised to ' give our readers, the benefit "of 1 visiting with her in spirit, the vari- ] triis places of interest included in v_ihe itinerary, through the medium ' of her versatile pen. 1 The first Antribution has come ; to hand, written on hoard the ' "President Garfield." . It has been a very long time 1 since we read so charmingly inter- '• \ esting a travelog. Mrs Clark looks ' out upon life, men and things with •' the eyes of a poetess, and has the 1 still rarer gift of being able to ' commit her impressions to speech, ' hi the prescriptive language of a 1 poetess. , ' There is too, a wealth of humnr underlying her observations, and ; her thoughts concerning her fellow- ' passengers; hut a quality of humor « absolutely free from cynicism and ' misanthropy. - J The series, wh'on complete, and compiled in a scrap album, will 1 make profitble reading to every ' student of letters. Wc devoutly wish Mrs. Clark bon . 1 voyage, and ourselves the pleasure I of wading more of her travelogs. On boanl S. S. The President Gar- ' ' field. J? July 13th. J922. 1 Editor, Ocean City Sentinel — " 1 In answer to many requests, that I 1 write of my trip abroutlK 1 will ' begin by sending you ,'a steamer ■ " letter. i ■ Well here I am once more upon j ! the bounding deep .with over two j j thousand mile.^of our voyage past; 1 and as 1 think of all my other 1 trips, unit how I always looked 1 forward to seeing the old world ' side, (I have my steamer-chair on ! the east side going over and the 1 west side coming back) still on the • homeward voyage, how my heart 1 anil my mind, are ayways aflame : with the intense desire to get back ! home to grand and wonderful America, and to best of all, little 1 1 New Jersey. But I will rhapso- j ' dixe on that part of. it on my home- i ward journey. 1 Our ship left the port of Hoboken ; Wednesday, July 5th at 2 P m. i Crowds of people stood on the pier < to sec us ^iff, waving their hand- ' kerchiefs, calling good-byes out i amidst smiles and tears, while the band played its livliest airs. So wc i started and by night were |-ell under way. The sea grew rough ; and Old Neptune, that mighty monarch of the sea, threw out his great and far reaching arms, and troubled the waves mightily, with the usual result, before bedtime over ninety passeftgers were sick in their berths, while many others were either huddled or sprawled j out in their steamer chairs with; pallied faces that all too plainly I

I — told the tale. Imagine that gay i j eld monster laughed with unholy i (flee, when he saw what misery he c I 'j had caused on just que ship, i | It was interesting to see sgme j of the brave^nes, venture into the i ( dining saloon, feeling a qualm or c i two, and order a good dinner, start c j in with a laugh, then suddenly put 1 down their napkins anil nearly run a to the safk seclusion of their state- <■ . rooms. ArwWI that plague of the c voyage seems to be over, anil our I ~! passengers "Have "'gradually re-ap- " o peared. looking of course battered d anil worn, but still on the mend and able to answer to their ndmes a II by being on deck. t Since Saturtluy (not before) wc,f . had delightful weather, with o . plenty of sunshine, smooth seas,1 s f gorgeous sunsets, and afterglows"* of such Entrancing beauty, that -it ;t r seemed as if we could walk across . this wilderness of water, through I .• the open gates of heaven, and into e the gloryland beyond. After all j fl . tliis beauty hail faded, and night a r curtained the sky, then the big < blood red arose from her " . bath, and shed wonderful " . moonlight over the scene. last a . night a heavy-fog set in about ten c , o'clock. The big fog horn blew a r every two minutes; at 11 o'clock I' . nearly collided with a big "Freighter", the first blow heard f i when she w-as within two hun- t dred yards of '• us. Our engines . stopped suddenly, and we waited d . in terrified suspense for the crash; a but it did hot come. With frantic J . whistles on both ships, she backed F . awav. What joy, what relief It h ( reminds me as we sail across the a , sea of lif^ how many menacing b . dangers we barely escape — I find i' , the seamen dread heavy fogs more s t than any other danger; you not s , only can't see, but sound is dead- h eneil. h We are on a new ship. on her I second voyage, every appointment » . is up-to-dntc, and -we have a firfc „ f class of passengers; also a fine set|n I of officers, courteous and jolly, * s obliging stewards, anil a good crew. , „ I The food is delicious, and of great t j variety; everything is just right; j . room, men's smoking ! room, social hall, all beautifully , furnished, and with two player = . i pianos. Our party of seventeen are all . well and happy. We have many interesting types among our passengers. One is a tali and very fat woman, vtho has hung out on* t perpetual smile, and who just nulls' | ates the milk of human kindness. - As she wa'ddled back and \forth yesterday, I interviewed her send , found the cause of her great Joy .lis because she is going back to ; England to her okl father and 1 mother, after living in eight years | of misery in the States with a I drunken and abusive husband, who , just recently died. Also, she : . is going to claim a handsome legx acy felt her by an old uijrle. I ; rejoiced with her, yes, and rtjojeed ; » again for what she is going to do . [ forhas-aged parents. I There's an old gentleman on j • board, who walks up and down on j - the promenade deck, with his hands j - his pockets. He seems to be reculling the events of other days, i i and when of unpleasant nature, out ! . comes his hamis, he gives angry - ejaculations and punches the air - with his closed fist. If his emot tions are of a happy nature, hell ; > stop, put his hands upon his hips, • and let out big hearty laughs . . I seemingly oblivious to any other i pre&nee. Then after his wrath or ■ mirth is spent, he settles down in jl t his steamer-chair and becomes the i 1 normal passenger, just the same j i dear reader, between you, me and • ? the paper I verily believe the old i chap, has been a gay old sport in s his time and 'he again lives over il i the stirring scenes of former days. i The ttaily killer" is here also, | ii | but reserves his killing looks and
