We kept Thanksgiving, it having been appointed before we sailed, so
that we knew the day. We dined at four, instead of our usual hour (half
past twelve), and so we were at table part of the time with those at
home. Our dinner was:--1. Oyster soup; 2. Boiled salmon and scalloped
oysters; 8. Roast fowl; 4. Huckleberry pudding; 5. Apple pies of dried
apple. Now, should any one envy us, or should his mouth water at such a
bill of fare, let him know that oysters and salmon from tin cans are
not the same as those fresh from Faneuil-Hall Market.
