Traveling In America

The London newspapers, since the Seaford disaster, have actually discovered that some sort of traveling in America is superior to the medieval devices employed in England. Says one of them lately: "The night boats by Calais are wholly and gratuitously abominable. Why does the British public stand it? The American who travels by short boat routes insists upon a 'floating palace,' and he gets it. How long are we to wait for like improvements in the Channel crossing? Surely it is not more ciiflicult or less necessary to be comfortable between England and France than between New York and Boston."
