We never played either the nielodeon or the organ, except at devotions — but I am too fast ; young Albeit did know part of a tune— something about "() Homething'-Or-Other How Sweet it Is to Know that he's his What's-His-Naiiie," (I do not remend)er the exact title of it, but it was very plaintive, and full of sentiment ;) Albert, played that pretty much all the time, until we contracted with him to restrain himself TJut no- bmly ever sang by moonlight on the upper deck, and the congregational singing at church'aud prayers was not of a superior oi'der of architecture. I put up with it as long as I could, and then joined in and tried to im- prove it, lr)ut this encom-aged young George to join in too, and that made a failure of it ; because George's voice was just " turning," and when he was singing a dismal sort of base, it was apt to fly oti' the handle and startle every body with a most discordant cackle on the ui)per notes. George didn't kuo'w the tunes, either, which was also a di-awback to his I)erformances. I said : <' Come, now, George, dont improvise. It looks t(jo egotistical. It will provoke i-emark. Just stick to ' Coronation,' like the others. It is a good tune — i/o>' can't improve it any, just ott-hand in this way." " Why I'm not trying to improve it — and I tnn singing like the othei-s — just as it is in the notes." And he honestly thought he was, too ; and so he had no one to blame but himself when' his voice caught on the centre occasionally, and gave him the lockjaw. Tliere were those among the unregonerated who attributed the un- ceasing liead-winds to our distressing choir music. There were .those who said openly that it was taking chances enough to have such gliastly music going on] even when it was at its best : and that to exaggerate the crime by letting George helj), was simply Hying in the face of Providence. The.se said that the choir would keep up their lacerating attemi)ts at melody mitil they would bring down a stoi-m some day that woidd siuk the shij). Tliere were even grumblers at tlie prayers. The executi^e oiiicer sai'l the Pilgrims had no charity. " There thev are, down there every night at eight bells, praying for fair winds — when they know as well as I do that this is the only ship going east this time of the year, but there's a thousand coming west— what's a fair wind for us is a hrad wind to them— the Almighty's l)low- ing a fair wind for a thousand vessels, and this tribe wants him to turn it 'clear around so lus to accommodate one, — and she a steam-ship at that : It ain't good sense, it ain't good reason, it ain't good Christianity, it ain't common human charity.
