Bro. Jones At Sea.
with its clean white terrace ? , the smooth harbour , wilh its hundreds of ships and small boats lying peacefully at anchor , forms a magnificent panorama . To the east stands St . Anthony ' s Head , on which is placed a lighthouse . A little further on is the ancient city of St . Mawes , and looking across the creek of St . Just , Dodman Head is visible in the distance ; to the westward Black Head
and St . Kevern Church ; to the south the bn ad Atlantic ; and to the north the beautifully wooded inland scenery , each and all forming charming pictures . On descending the tower our guide teiokus through the Armoury of the Militia Artillery , and then pointed out to us a cupboard in one of the turrets , which formerly foimed a hiding place for Charles If .
Returning to our hotel , we found that a telegram had been received from . Plymouth , stating that the return steamer had left that port , and would arrive about four o'clock , and , by way of postscript , " Have dinner rcarly for twelve at three o ' clock , " in vvhich larter arrangement vve desired to participate . Our host in true broth , rly fashion had planned for us a pleasure trip up the Fal on the
steamer " Resolute , " but the eaily arrival of our steamer would not permit of our availing ourselves of the same ; however , thc sturdy captain of the little boat to whom vve were introducetl , determined to show us some fraternal attention , and he escorted us to the lorlge room of Love and Harmony Lodge , No . 75 , anrl pointed out to us numerous antique and curious properties belonging thereto ; thc
Secretary , Bro . Carter ( mine host of the Royal ) , at the same time presented us with a copy of the bye-laws , to which is attached a history erf remarkable events connected with the lodge since its consecration , compiled by thc Matonic historian , Bro . W . J . Hughan , of whom all English , but more especially Cornish , Masons are so justly proud . Soon after four o'clock an omnibus laden with
passengers hove in sight , and it did not require a conjuror to discern from whence they came . The ruddy complexion of the lively captain and the slightly bronzed cheeks of the others were sufficient to identify them , and in a very short space of timr-. they , with ourselve ? , were assembler ! round the well-supplied festive boird , and diminishing the heaps of good things with great rapidity , the captain having at first announced that he could only allow one hour on
snore . Punctually the omnibus again appeared , and the company were thereby conveyed alongside the steamer " Mary Hough , " and at six p . m . I commenced my return voyage , vvhich vvas accomplished with rather more difficulty than the outward one , the winrl blowing quite a gale from the Lizard Point until we were under shelter eif the land on thc Welsh coast . Our stc . imer , although having
to battle with head winds and a rollicking sen , behaved exceedingly well ; the merry voice of Captain Wraight kept all on board in good humour , and a right jovial commander and companion he proved himself to be under the difficulties produced by tbe contending elements . On Wednesday morning 1 landed in Liverpool , and at 9 . 30 a . m . was again seated in my dusty sanctum in Manchester .
