ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.

By John Nevins Andrews

We embarked at New York on board the steamer Virginia, Thursday, May 29, for Glasgow, and shall go thence by railroad to London. The weather has been unpleasant nearly all the way across the ocean. It has been cold, foggy, and rainy most of the time. We have had high winds much of the way, but no fierce gales. No severe seasickness has been experienced, but the rough sea has kept the passengers a little sick most of the time. Our accommodations have not been so stylish as we might have had by higher priced lines; but everything has been good enough. The captain and all of the officers have shown us great kindness. By request of the captain, I have spoken both Sundays to the passengers.

I still feel considerable prostration, and request prayer that I may have strength for the work before me. I desire to devote myself without reserve to the cause of Christ. We are now at Greenock, waiting for the tide to enable our steamer to go up the Clyde to Glasgow.
