Now we are on the Mediterranean Sea. This morning we sailed by Crete, the island spoken of in the Acts of the Apostles; where Paul "desired to winter," and near which they met the euroclydon, by which they "were driven up and down in Adria," until shipwrecked. "Ye should not have loosed from Crete, and have gained this harm and loss." The engineer of our boat told me that. cyclones now arc sometimes met in the same quarter. He says: "The winds have a terrible sweep along that coast of Crete." We are having a smooth sea, but there is a rocking and a narrowness of limits on shipboard which make me long for shore. There are Mohammedans on board. To-day at noon, regardless of spectators, they went through their devotions, first washing face' and hands and feet, then reciting their prayers, kneeling and putting their foreheads to the rug which they had first spread beneath them. Their behavior is a rebuke to Christians who, under such circumstances, would neglect or postpone their devotions. Whatever else the Mohammedan neglects, he does not neglect his genuflexions.
