Zella Hutchinson, oldest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hutchinson,
died last Thursday morning at the
home of John Wilson, in Aline. She
had been sick with typhoid fever,
but was thought to be Improving
and was taken worse a short time
before death came. The deceased
was a bright and beautiful girl,
just blooming into young vromau-
hood and it seems sad indeed that
she must be snatched away from
loving parents, sisters and brother
by the Grim Reaper. Yet death is
inevitable for us all. and the pass-
ing of our loved ones should but ce-
ment the stronger the bond between
us and our Heavenly Home. We ex-
tend to the bereaved family the sym-
pathy of the community.

\ VON \(.l ACROSS THE
ATLANTIC
The following interesting letter
from Delbert Mann, a graduate of
the Northwestern class' of '13, has
been handed us by a friend. Mr
Mann has gone as a teacher in an
American college in Constantinople.
He has many friends in Alva who
will be glad to learn that he had a
pleasant voyage and who hope that
he may safely pass through the trou-
bles that now embroil the continent
of Europe.—Kil l
S S. "Principessa Mafalda,"
Sept. 10, 1914.
I will start this letter tonight, add
to it each day the "happenings there-
of" and mail it as soon as we reach
a port where 1 can.
We left New York at 6:13 this
morning, passed the New York sky-
line, Liberty Statue. Governor’s Is-
land. Ellis Island, the Narrows with
The pilot was taken off about 8:3b
Its ports and were in the Atlantic,
and with him some government of-
ficers and a stowawyay. By 9:00
o'clock we were out of sight of land
and had bid good-bye to America for
a few weeks, at least. It gives one
a peculiar sensation to stand and
watch his home land disappear from
sight.
The day has been a fine one, and
the sea fairly calm. Tonight, how-
ever. It is rolling quite heavily. One
lady had to leave the dining room
and one of ou^ boys did not come up
at all. The sunset tonight was beau-
tiful.
We have come in touch with the
war already. About 4:00 p. m. to-
day we were stopped by the British
cruiser “Drake," and ordered to
show our colors, then allowed to pro-
ceed.
The “Principessa Mafelda" is a
fine boRt. She runs, ordinarily, be-
tween Buenos Ayres, S. A., and Italy,
but was chartered by Americans In
Italy to bring them home and is
now returning to resume her regu-
lar run. All the crew are Italians,
and we have had some amusing ex-
periences trying to understand them
and trying to make them understand
us, and figuring out the bill of fare.
There are so few De Luxe and
first class passengers that we all use
the DeLuxe dining room. It is beau-
tiful and everything Is of the best.
The schedule Is something like this:
Breakfast from 7 to 9, lunch at 12,
tea at 4, dinmr at 7:30 and tea at
10. Lunch and dinner are elaborate
affairs. Fine orchestra music is
provided and coffee served In the
foyer after each.
Among the passengers Is teh new
American minister to Greece, Mr.
Droppus and his family. Mr. Thorp,
the vice secretary of the American
legation at Athens, is also on board.
He is such a pleasant young fellow.
T just stepped out on deck a few
moments ago. and it is beautiful.
The sea is somewhat rought, but the
most beautiful moon shining
through fleecy clouds, making a
shining lane of light on the water
Off to the north I could see the
lights of a passing ship.
Friday, Sept. 11.
The happens of this day will be
very brief for two reasons. In the
first place there has been nothing
out of the ordinary occurred, have
seen nothing except water and a few
clouds, not even a single ship. In
the second place, the ship is rolling
so it is quite difficult to write. We
have been in a rough sea and the
ship lias been rolling heavily all day
and is even worse tonight. We are
running -against a heavy northeast
wind.
Only two of the five in our bunch
appeared at breakfast; three at
lunch and at dinner. I haven't
missed yet. but. won't make any
promises. Have not been sea sick
yet, but am afraid it is coming. I
feel all right as long as I stay on
deck in the wind. The rolling is
getting worse, so will stop
Saturday, Sept. 12.
Another day spent on the ocean,
and I must say it has not been a,
very pleasant one.' The sea is much
rougher than yesterday and the
ship is rolling worse. It has a dou-
ble roll now. I find it very difficult
to walk, for one minute you are go-
ing up hill and the next down.
(Some solid ground would be appre-
ciated.) Have spent most of my
time today on a chair on deck, not
feeling especially fine. None of our
party were at breakfast and only
Breed Love and I at lunch and din-
ner.
Have made several acquaintances
among the passengers, among them
Mr. Droppus, Mr. Thorp, Mr. Manil-
la, an Italian army 'officer who is
returning to take his place, Mr
