Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our American Tour; Being a Run of Ten Thousand Miles: From the Atlantic to the Golden Gate, in the an Autumn of 1869 N the 10th Of July 1869, we waved adieu to our friends from the deck Of the noble steamer Cuba, and, under happy auspices, steamed down the Mersey. The saloons, the state-rooms, the whole appointments, and in particular the weather, were great improvements upon those described by Charles Dickens in his account Of his trip to Boston, on the occasion Of his first visit to America, in the good ship Britannia. Assured that the Cunard line had never lost the life Of a passenger, and surveying our magnificent vessel, with her excellent arrangements, her able captain, picked Officers and men, we felt satisfied that neither the lifeboats nor lifebelts, SO plentifully provided, were likely to be required. A quiet order prevailed on board, every Officer and man was at his post, doing his appointed duty with a military pre cision, which to us was reassuring as well as novel.
