Alas! ere this he's gone aloft.

Well; by his kindness on the voyage he made one boy his devoted friend and admirer.
We knew only Mr.and Mrs.Sloane in New York--parents of the well-known John, Willie, and Henry Sloane.

Mrs.Sloane (Euphemia Douglas) was my mother's companion in childhood in Dunfermline.

Mr.
Sloane and my father had been fellow weavers.

We called upon them and were warmly welcomed.
