The steamer Ajax encountered a terrible storm on her down trip from San Francisco to the Sandwich Islands.* It tore her light spars and rigging all to shreds and splinters, upset all furniture that could be upset, and spilled passengers around and knocked them hither and thither with a perfect looseness.*
For forty-eight hours no table could be set, and every body had to eat as best they might under the circumstances.* Most of the party went hungry, though, and attended to their praying.* But there was one set of "seven-up" players who nailed a card-table to the floor and stuck to their game through thick and thin.
