I walk up to one of the sailors and inquire: "What is the name of this ship?" No answer, and I fancy the man does not understand me. "Where is the captain?" I continue. But the sailor pays no more heed to this than he did to the previous question. I turn on my heel and go forward. Above the forward hatchway a bell is suspended.

In the director's room I was amused at the means which a poet had hit upon for advertising his works, or rather HIS WORK, and not less at the elaborate notice of it. His portrait was suspended there, and attached to the frame was a paper inscribed thus: I went to the Chesnut Street Theatre to see Mr. Booth, formerly of Drury Lane, in the character of Lear, and a Mrs.
