[Sketches New and Old by Mark Twain]@TWC D-Link bookSketches New and Old CHAPTER VI 141/161
We make close connections at all principal points with all reliable lines.
Safety can be depended upon. It is not to be denied that the heavens are infested with OLD RAMSHACKLE COMETS that have not been inspected or overhauled in 10,000 years, and which ought long ago to have been destroyed or turned into hail-barges, but with these we have no connection whatever.
Steerage passengers not allowed abaft the main hatch. Complimentary round-trip tickets have been tendered to General Butler, Mr.Shepherd, Mr.Richardson, and other eminent gentlemen, whose public services have entitled them to the rest and relaxation of a voyage of this kind.
Parties desiring to make the round trip will have extra accommodation.
The entire voyage will be completed, and the passengers landed in New York again, on the 14th of December, 1991.
