      Tomahawk, Has Lived Long Enough, And Has...

      cover the grim spectre in the barley-sugar temple , the sign of the fatal dart stamped on all the bon-bons . The joke of it is that the cheap tailors are not so much to blame . If the truth were told it would be found that the mammoth outfitters keep hundreds and thousands from the workhouse and the river . No , the fault lays with the greedy cringing West-end milliners . The mistresses of " young ladies " who are such nice pleasant creatures with whom to deal . If a little dear , at least they are attentive and obliging . These are the women who should be hounded down and ruined . It may be urged that to preach is one thing , to suggest a remedy another . Tomahawk is prepared to meet the objection . Let a number of ladies of the beau moizdeform , themselves into a visiting committee . Let them ask for admittance to the workshops of their dressmakers and milliners , and insist upon compliance with tlieir demand , on pain of loss of custom . Once admitted , it would be their own fault if crying evils were not remedied . Tomahawk makes the suggestion in all sober seriousness . We are on the eve of the Season , and now is the time to organize the movement . If this , or something like this , is not done at once , dresses will still be sold at so many lives the yard , bonnets bought for so many pounds of heart ' s blood !

      Somewhere off the Spanish Coast , Feb . 7 , 1870 . I THOUGHT it would come to this at last . You see my address . Let me give you my notes of the successive catastrophes which have brought me to such a pass . When I posted my last , you may remember " the leak " was beginning to give a good deal of ; uaeasiness to the more practical men on board ; and at midnight on the 27 th ult ., I had quite made up my mind to face the champagne worst , and jump bottles overboard and a few , when fireworks necessary . I will , with resume two empty therefore , my narrative at that critical point . , 2 a . m . . we The are Captain in ban , unlimited I am afrai recours d , is again e to going irits to and meet the the first danger -mate seems much y inclined to take his view of sp affairs , . The contractor this appears rate to , the be more hold hopeful will be , and a first says -rat that e swimming if we go on bath filling by six at Port o ' clock , we , and mig that ht make if we a could good onl deal y run out the of her Poojah , by opening into a Mo her orish at once as a " Marine Bath and Wash-house Company . " He says that he knows it may pay very well , for he was once interested in a line of steamers that always started with the express intention speculation of on spring a forei ing gn a leak coast , and . The of finishing Moors , up he in does a warm not think bath , have ever heard of soap , and he says it is a striking peculiarity in their language that there is no verb " to wash . " I have pointed out to him that this would be all very well if wer ence ' e to onl the y near chart the , the Spanish Captain coast expressed , but that it as as , his at the final last op refer inion - darned " that we to us were , " I did just not five feel hundred disposed miles to subscribe from nowhere for any , shares and be . 3 a . m .

      Somebody who has been asleep hitherto has just awoke , and asked " why we don ' t try the pumps . " The idea seems good to Hamlet me , and and has s at everal least other an air hig of hly novelty nervous about passengers it . I have all over started the vessel , shouting * " all hands to the pumps * . " Nobody seems inclined to turn out . It appears , too , that there is but one pump , and the Captain has had that fixed in a 97 gallon difficult cask to get of near rum , , and and , arranged if " all hands in his " berth were . to It is get , therefore at it , we , should only soak the Captain in spirits . The " pumps " have , therefore been abandoned , and Hamlet and the nervous passengers have been threatened with irons for making a disturbance forenothing , and hurried before back us but to destruction their cabins ! . There seems , there-, 4 a , m . The contractor has again looked in . He says he has hit on two shall sp share lendid profits wrinkle , although s , and th I at consider if I like the " to contractor go in with over him " san we - j have guine agreed , nevertheless to anything , as we he likes seem . to He be has going called down for a rap bottl idl e y , of 1 stout , and we are going to discuss it at once in the engine room , which he says will keep dry as long as anything on board , except the Captain . 4 . 20 a . m . I see The them Contractor as clearl has as proposed he his " to wrinkles do . The , " but first I cannot is to seize say the life-boat and open y a company appears for letting it out by the hour .

I am confident he doesn ' t exactly know . The second " wrinkle" seems more elaborate , and I must wreck honestl a great y many say , more people practicable must naturall .
