All were turned out of doors, with a conscientious blow in the face, by the justly irritated spouse.
This continued throughout the voyage, and I assert that "my ladies" were of the most modest and best-behaved in the ship; but some time after we had reached San Francisco one of our fellow-passengers came to me and inquired if I personally knew Mrs. D , with flaxen tresses, who sang so sweetly for us, and who had come out under my especial escort.
