A few weeks before departing from England, while in London, I was careful to purchase a ticket, and secure a berth for returning home, in the "Cambria" the steamer in which I left the United States paying therefor the round sum of forty pounds and nineteen shillings sterling. This was first cabin fare.
"Wherever we go," said one of the doctors yesterday, "we find that there is an alarming spread of pneumonia." Of the refugees at the Cambria Hospital but two have died. Bayonets in Control. The ruined city lies to-night within a girdle of steel the bayonets of the 14th regiment.
Those on deck received the news with heart-felt gratitude, and answered with three cheers. Signals of distress were instantly hoisted, and endeavors used to make toward the stranger, while the minute guns were fired continuously. She proved to be the brig Cambria, Captain Cook, master, bound to Vera Cruz, having twenty Cornish miners, and some agents of the Mining Company on board.
In the old days, when the Romans were taking Britain for their own, there lived in Cambria a great prince called Heiri. He was forty summers old; he had long been wed, but had no son to reign after him.
Lohman's house and the First ward school building. The Fourth ward school house and the Cambria Iron Works' general office building are the only buildings standing on the north side of the river from the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge to the limits of the "flats."
The massive stone bridge of the Pennsylvania Railroad, opposite the Cambria Iron Works, marks the point of demarcation between the borough of Johnstown and that of Cambria City. The changes in the situation which have occurred since the eventful Friday have not been numerous.
It can hardly be that they fear suits for damages, for the responsibility of the wreck does not rest on them. Two hundred bodies were recovered from the ruins yesterday. Some were identified, but the great majority were not. This number includes all the morgues the one at the Pennsylvania Railroad station, the Fourth ward school, Cambria city, Morrellville, Kernville and the Presbyterian Church.
"Even the longing for the tiara?" "To be pope is to be the first of Christians. Why should you not desire that?" "It has been printed that, to gain that object, I had sold Cambria to the Spaniards." "You have, perhaps, yourself written pamphlets without severely persecuting pamphleteers." "Then, reverend father, I have truly a clean breast. I feel nothing remaining but slight peccadilloes."
These are the Cambria Iron Company's offices and the company's stores. What else can you see? Just around the curve where I mark down figure 4 is another brick building the Millvale school-house. It is out of range from this point, but you shall see it by and by.
Adjutant General Hastings, who is in charge of the relief corps at the railroad station, has a force of carpenters at work making rough boxes in which to bury the dead. They will be buried on the hill, just above the town, on ground belonging to the Cambria Iron Company. The graves will be numbered. No one will be buried that has not been identified without a careful description being taken.
