Excerpt from An Irish Cousin There had been several days of thick, murky weather, dull, uncomplaining days, that bore their burden of fog and rain in monotonous endurance. Six of such I had lived through, a passive existence, parcelled out to me by the uncomprehended clanging of bells, and the, to me, still more incomprehensible clatter which, recurring at regular intervals, told that a hungry multitude were plying their knives and forks in the saloon. But a change had come at last, and on Saturday morning, instead of heaving ridges of grey water, I saw through the port-hole the broken green glitter of sunlit waves. The S.S. Alaska's lurching plunge had subsided into a smooth unimpeded rushing through the water, and for the first time since I had left New York, the desire for food and human companionship awoke in me.
