Excerpt from Two Months in Europe: A Record of a Summer Vacation Abroad The waving Of handkerchiefs continues until we lose sight Of the wharf, and is kept up still later by those whose zealous friends follow them down the harbor in tugs. Our steamer being a new one, and this her first departure from New York, she was escorted down the harbor by several tugs and passen ger vessels. Our captain said that whenever there were any Brooklyn ministers on board such a company of steam vessels always followed them down the harbor, and with the remark that we would probably find two or three of them concealed among the passengers, he went forward. We afterward found a couple of them among the passengers. At length our little fleet of tugs turn back and leaves us with a final salute of cannon and steam whistles, and we are soon opposite the light ship at Sandy Hook. On the way down the bay the passengers walk the upper deck, taking their last look at the beautiful fields below Brook lyn, the green hills of Staten Island, and the low-lying Jersey shore in the distance. Many of the passengers write letters or postal cards, which can be sent back by the pilot, and will be the last that friends can hear from them until we are in sight of the Irish coast.
