CHAPTER VII

Since came on board.

Visited the Savannah to hear the music, which is given every Sunday evening.

It was a gay and beautiful scene: the moon, the shade, the trees, the statue of Josephine, the throng of well-dressed men and women, the large band and the fine music, the ripple of the sea; and last, though not least, the Katy-dids, so fraught with memories of home, dear home! Visited M.
Guerin after the music, and made the acquaintance of his charming family, consisting of wife, daughter-in-law, and niece, who gave some music on the piano and a song.

M.Guerin's mother died a nun in the city of Baltimore, where M.Guerin was himself educated.

He retains his early impressions of Baltimore very vividly.
