The SS Leviathan
Pride of that empire whose ambitious mind
And tireless skill gave all to form a great
And fitting symbol of a mighty State,
Whose own home name to bear she was designed
When ruthless War with bloodlust madness blind,
Had slain Earth’s peace and flung this ship afar.
She found a home beneath the New World’s star,
And knew a flag whose folds to all mankind
Mean lofty power with Justice over all.
Now recreated for the iarts of peace,
Supreme in splendour, won by Freedom’s call,
She greets the world as war time passions cease;
And as the summer sunbeams on her fall
She bids us all from care to find release.
—Edward C. Plummer.
Message From The Captain
To My Student Passengers:
It j is with the deepest appreciation of having you as passengers that I welcome you aboard the “Leviathan”—“The Queen of the Sea.”
I sincerely hope and trust that your sojourn in Europe will be as pleasant as I believe you have found things on board this ocean greyhound.
It gives me happiness to know that such a thorough body of I Americans as my Student passengers are going to Europe to broaden their views on this world’s civilization and thereby, not only learn of the Old World but possibly also to appreciate our own country all the more.
I regret the inability to personally meet each and every one of you, as my many duties prevent this, but by this meams I wish to extend my heartiest welcome and best wishes for a most pleasant journey.
Herbert Hartley, U.S.N.R.F.
(Commanding Officer).

In introducing our “Souvenir Log” to you we take this opportunity of thanking Mrs. Anne Lee and her capable committee, who through their energy have made the publication of this booklet possible.
Special comment must be made, and our sincere appreciation offered to Mrs. Carol Weston, Mr. Joseph Fernandez and Mr. Joseph Weston, who as Art Editors certainly gave our Printers somethinig to think about. They are responsible for the cuts used in this issue, and considering that they are cut on linoleum, they certainly reflect great credit on the artists. —The Editor.
LISTENING IN
By M. I. W.
From the appearance of the Fire Drill on Monday afternoon, we should advise Commander Hartley to offer a prize to encourage greater speed-—a season ticket to the firemens’ ball would be appropriate.
An elderly lady at Table 23, Seat 9, insisted that the Steward have her eggs turned over, he did so with the aid of the galley men.
Miss Fantino wonders why they don’t put the flag out durinjg the daytime—perhaps, Commander Hartley refuses to see his flags get sunburned.
The crew were having a boxing match on Monday—they made an excellent showing in a hugging contest.
Mrs. 320 Lbs. was playing a heavy game this morning—swimming would be a better exercise for her and give her more chance to show her shape.
She—“Oh, oh, did you hear that the Captain says the ship is going to sink.”
He—“Keep quiet, why should you worry, the ship does not belong to you.”
“Miss Coila Start, Lake Michigan,” thus registered one of our passengers. Is she spoofing us?
Paging “Mr. Kelly Anna.”
The East met the West this afternoon when Miss Vera Fantino, of San Fran-cisco and George Bergman, of N. Y., met in the dining room—one hour later she played the piano, and he sang, “Yearn-ing Just For You.” The expression of their faces showed they sang with feeling de la coeur.
Mrs. Winters was playiug “All Alone” with the utmost sincerity when suddenly her husband came in she started playing, “Kiss Me Again,” by G. B.
“B.”—“Did you see the three whales this morning?”
“W.”—What the Prince of Wales,”
“C.”—“No, there were no horses around here.”
Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt are always late for breakfast * * * it may be a repeated honeymoon.
Found! On “Students’ and Veterans’ Tour”—one college man, Gilbert Camp-bell Scoggin, Western Reserve University, Cleveland; and one veteran, J. J. Geragh- ty, U. S. A., Portland, Ore.
First prize for turning in the neatest card should go to Park Phipps, of Chicago. We think he must be a mechanical draftsman.
Notwithstanding his retirement from the ring, John L. Sullivan, of Weehawken, N. J., will take on all comers during the voyage.
Some people are accusing Mrs. Helen V. Kennedy of trying to put the Bronx on the map without resorting to Dayton’s tactics. She registers her address as Bronx, N. Y.
With “Camille” on board, can Miss Grapin, of Pittsburgh, tell us where to find Deburau?
Can Stuart Longworth, of Philadelphia, tell us whether the much-advertised infant, Paulina, has cut any teeth?
Ever since the chewing gum manufacturer invested $500 a night to entertain Times Square crowds with incandescent Swedish gymnasts, the name "Wrigley" has been one of note. We wonder whether Clarence B. Wrigley, of Philadelphia, is related to the man who has a new customer born every second.
REMINISENCES
MRS. HUGH LAFFERTY
The task set before me is a formidable one. It is to crowd within a small space, information which may guide some inexperienced traveler to places of European interest.
I have been called a globe trotter having traveled all through the United States including the National Parks, West Indies, British Columbia, Canada, Alaska, Mexico, France Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Belguim and all the British Isles 'from North to South! I have been afforded the delightful opportunity to decide on another trip and I again choose the Old World.
There is nothing like personal contact to create a sound sympathetic understanding with people of other nations in their own native land and study conditions, problems and difficulties under which they live.
From Cherbourg, last year. I proceeded to Paris, arriving at midnight, it was a fascinating experience for a first visit. Paris deserves its old title of “La Ville Lumiere.’’ It is vividly alert; full of life, laughter and interest and its people, among the most charming in the world.
At Ventimiglia the boundary between France and Italy our baggage passports apd vises were examined. Genoa we enjoyed, the city garlanded on one side, with flowery hills and on the other the open sea—the birthplace of Columbus. Pisa with its leaning tower and points of interest, then Rome, where one can realize the truth of the adage that “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”
Naples, the glorious, of which have been immortalized and visualized many thousands of admiring eyes. Its commanding position over miles of sparkling blue water, its varied green-colored wooded slopes and the eternal smoldering Versuvius.
Trains run hourly to Pompeii. Then the Lido, the fashionable bathing centre where we enjoyed our bath in the Adriatic Sea,—Milan, Italy, was our last stop in Italy, we entered Switzerland to Interlaken Jung from Meringen Basle, Lucerne, Strassburg, Switzerland, is beautiful and well worth visiting; no European trip is complete without its mountains, mineral springs and Alpine climate. Rotterdam with its little island of market women.
Amsterdam, the capital of Holland. Of all the districts of merry England that make clamant demand on the educated tourist is that of the Shakespeare country is filled with inspiration, education and for twenty miles about is filled with the- balm of Shakespeare association.
The Ann Hathaway Cottage is still standing. We stopped at the Red Horse Hotel, where Washington Irving wrote his Sketch Book—his chair is piously preserved there We arrived in London, "the great city with its crowds of people rushing to and fro, its River Thames and many more places of interest that one needs much time to see.
Its sweet to dream of Venice and its great to study Rome, but when it comes to living, there’s no place like home!
IN THE WAKE OF THE NEWS
A Philadelphian on board is bemoaning the fact that he forgot his pipe. Well, if he were a real smoker he wouldn’t have. But being a Philadelphian, it is permiss- able to forget anything. Most people down there now have forgotten the last time the Athletics won a pen ant.
We have an M.D. with us from the University of Cincinnatti. He is doing research work on blood-clots, their whys and wherefores. When he gets to London he expects to show the Royal Medical Society what a first class blood-clot is supposed to do in America. The Doctor admits he does not practice, and according to his bunk-mate, neither does he preach—but he handles a wicked game of chess.
The wives of all humorists aboard the ship should have plenty of pun-money.
A gentleman from the Middle West, who has a ripe imagination, closes his eyes and imagines the broad expanses of the Atlantic to be western plains and the low hanging clouds on the horizon to the purple hills of the Ozarks or the Rockies or whatever they have out there.—Some imagination!—But wouldn’t it be funny to see Tom Mix come dashing out of the dust on Pinto, only to have him drown on dscovering the awful illusion?.
What is Anna Held’s most famous line? Someone suggested, “waist”; an-other person said, “neck and ankle.” Fortunately Anna Held came from Cin-cinnati to speak for herself.
The propellers of the cocky little launches stuck up aft, remind one of Solomon’s famous lilies of the field—“They toil not, neither do they spin”.
In order to conserve time for other pressing duties, and coincidently to allow any solicitude on the part of his many friends as to his health after his terrific mental strain of the past two days, the Third Class Deck Steward takes pleasure in announcing that things are progressing admirably, and that, unless something unforeseen occurs, all the deck chairs will be in their proper places numerically and correspondingly proper notation will be received in his book by Thursday evening, July 30.
One gentleman is dissatisfied because the Leviathan rides easier than a Pull-man. Says that he misses the continual bumps, the banging of attaching cars and the grinding of brakes,—People will travel on the Erie!.
Captain Hartley says the ship is yours, try and take it!
Mr. and Mrs.- F, eating on Table 2. are newly married and on their honeymoon,-watch them when they dance on Thursday evening,—ain’t love grand and graceful?.
Mrs. Hugh Lafferty
Oh I do hope this shower won’t keep up.
Mr. B, I hope it does keep up.
Miss Fantina traveling from good old California says the Leviathan is far better than the Mongolia Again Woolworth goods is compared to Tiffany.

OUR POETS CORNER
THE NIGHT BEFORE CHERBOURG
T’is the night before Cherbourg,
Aboard the Le—vi—a—than,
The Chef offers dishes,
The best that he can.
The Stewards are wonders,
At guessing our wishes,
Giving us no excuses
For feeding the fishes.
The staterooms are ready with neatness and speed,
Supplying our every comfort and need.
The service is never guilty of taking a nap
The officers gallant in doffing their cap
It is pleasant to note,
That with common accord,
They are happy and courteous
To serve all aboard.
The time now approaches for service tips.
The passengers say, with a smile on
their lips
They deserve all they get, as a fee you’ll agree,
Bon Voyage to all, and to all Bon Nuit.
Mrs. Hugh Lafferty
WHITHER BOUND
Tall clipper ships with white sails Scudding before the wind Out to the wide, wide spaces Leaving the vast behind.
Tacking against the head winds Seeping before the gales.
Loafing ’round in the doll-drum,
With useless empty sails.
Whither Bound?
Mandalay or Galway Bay,
Rio or Amsterdam,
The Falleones or Fu Chow,
Cadiz or Old Siam,
The Virgin Isles or Venice,
Japan or Zuder Zee Pago, Pago, London,
Aden or Lin day Key.
Whither Bound?
Tall clipper ships with bare poles, Home—at the journeys’ end,
Snug in your peaceful harbors,
Wait what the fates portend,
Anon some salms are loosening,
And soon the gaps gape wide,
Now the last great timber floats,
Out on the ebbing tide.
Whither Bound?
—Thomas J. Keane
MY FELLOW PASSENGERS V
My fellow passenger, who is he? I know him not, nor does he know me; 7 Whence we came or whither we go, '
We ask each other, but ’tis little we know. x -
Little I know of the cares he leaves be-hind,
Or the joys of life he hopes to find; Nor does he know my cares nor pain
Of the pleasures and wealth I hope to gain.
He has a frown and he has .a jest.
But he tells me little of the urgent quest.
Though my place may be high and his may be low,
Each has his price to see the same show.
Though our station is made by the price we pay,
The same boat will carry us a week and a day.
So why not be friends while we’re traveling together?
We ride the same wave and stem the same weather.
Our ship is small stem, bow and beam.
And our path alike to each unseen; We are carried forward o’er the same „ .* tide
And- we trust the self-same pilot fof guide.
—Coil,a L. Start-.
IF WINTER COMES
Only a little while and you and I Will leave the springtime of our youth behind
Only a little while—dear, will you mind Walking with me down lanes, where red leaves fly,
Walking with me beneath the hazy sky Of autumn? Hoping that we too may find
A late forgotten rosebud, all entwined With dreams of some glad June that ha§ passed by!
The winter road—I wonder if we, too, Will find it lonely and a little sad? Remembering the precious springtime we had,
Remembering the happiness we knew, Will you see me in rainbow colors clad, Or will I just be old and gray to you?
Mrs. Hugh Lafferty
Chief Steward Salmon was seen arranging the front part of his hair—judging from the few strands he has, we presume it is a rather difficult task.
SOCIETY JOTTINGS
Mr, and Mrs. C. D, Stevens, Washington, D. C. Mr. Stevens is an architect for the Coast Guard. Mrs. Stevens is a translator for the Navy Department.
Genevieve O’Brien—plain Jane, sweet, beautiful.
Divine lovers are reading ,“Beau Gest.” How thrilling each looks into the others eyes and reads the allotted chapter. “Ain’t love grand!”
Mr. Ramore—they call him the Thomas Meighan of the Tourist Class.
Phoebe Hodge is a French interpreter, Oh, how we will need you Phoebe, dear.
Because Geraldine O’Brien’s beau looked like the King of Spain she changed last night to an African.
We call the Tourist Class the “Intellectuals.” If you don’t believe me, notice the literature they are reading, “Jazz Bride,” etc.
Miss O’Hear is the tailored flapper.
Mrs. Knapp and Mrs. Chenchellar have your table reservations been settled yet?
Mr. J. Carlton McNeill spends his time in the hands of valet. He is so neat.

Dr. and Mrs. Burke from Boston. Culture, I should say so. Have you seen their lovely daughter? Just a wonderful girl with a twirl.
Rosalie Klaussner—the girl in pastelle shades.
The Steward just discovered that there are Americans on board in the Tourist Cabin. The ship newspaper has just been distributed for the first time.
Mrs. C. B. Wood, our grey-haired, bobbed-haired pal. The lady traveling with unlimited time wishes she had the same amount of money.

FANTASY
I sat in my steamer chair last night. Carried away with the moon in sight,
As if I were a fairy with magic wings, Sailing away to the land of Kings.
I watched the waves far out in the ocean, That might never break on the beach,
And my thoughts of human emotion. Could not find expression in speech.
Mrs. Hugh Lafferty
THE ORDER OF THE BATH
By RAYMOND GRAYSON
We believe it was Archimedes who made the bath tub famous, leaving to posterity (and the Bath Stewards) the task of keeping it so. Sunday one of them failed, thereby scoring a point for the common people.
Last Sunday afternoon one of the charming ladies of G Deck wished to avail herself the excellent bathing facilities afforded by Mr. Hartley and the rest of the Shipping Board. The lady in question was evidently quite ready for her ablutions when the Steward was not to be found. What to do? What to do?
Finally a possible solution presented itself in the person of the smartly, tailored youngster who delivers Radiograms. He met the lady somewhere in the labyrinth of corridors on F Deck and politely inquired, “Can I send a Radiogram for you, madam?” “Yes,” she answered with a touch of asperity, “you may send a Radiogram for the Bath Steward, he is not to be found around here,”
It is not known definitely whether or not the Radiogram was ever sent. At any rate, sometime after the lady had departed, indignent and unbathed, the bath steward appeared, looking as virtuous and naive as all the other stewards look.
When he learned of his passenger’s irritation at his expense, he is said to have made the comment that the lady must have thought she must bathe on Sunday in lieu of going to Church, for as everybody knows cleanliness is next to Godliness.
ODE TO THE WEATHER
We start to play a game of “Grab It” It rains!
It’s getting to be quite a habit; It rains!
We shade our eyes to watch the sun,
Traverse the skies; before its done,
We take to cover on the run;
It rains!
The moon is trying hard to shine;
It rains!
Barometer is looking fine,
It rains!
It rains so oft, I take a chance
In putting on my new-pressed pants.
Dear God, I pray there’s sun in France!
No rain!
Will Miss Berthe Cocain, of Chicago, have any trouble with the Int’l narcotic laws?

Mid-Atlantic Olympic Games
SPORTS REVIEW
Though the Sharks saved their sea-going reputation by winning the match box classic, showing that they have longer and more elastic noses than their opponents, the Whales swept them off the deck in the principal events of the mid-Atlantic Olympic games.
The down-and-back Cage-ball race was won by the Whales by a small margin; punch-and- guard and Pumchem were won more decisively by the victorious Whale team.
The reason for the difference in score was very obvious when individual events were played, the Whales seeming more active and less excited than their contenders.
Special mention is duel the energetic captains of the two teams, Miss Anne Wiche and Mrs. Elizabeth Nedved.
Points scored: Whales, 136; Sharks, 89. Medalists—
Whales: E. Nedved (Capt.); E. Sayers, M. Jacobi, N. Matson, M. French, R. Matson, C. Matson, D. Burgin, F. Huntington, E. Burgin.
Sharks—A. Wiche (Capt.), M. Fernan-dez, G. Lucak.
Essay On The Gulf Stream
The Gulf Stream from which Gulf Gasoline takes its name, rises somewhere off the coast of Florida, home of grapefruit realtors. Doubtless in haste to escape this unnecessary evil, the Stream pursues a northeasterly course eventually reach-ing Ireland.
Evidently fearing the wrath of the Irish Free State Government, who are so efficient in quelling uprisings, the Stream takes the bit between its teeth and disperses. Just where it disperses too is not generally known.
Presumably it slips underground and sneaks back to Florida by another route, but this can-not be definitely ascertained. Besides, who would want to?
No accurate essay on the Gulf Stream would be complete without mention of the glorious banks. In the first place they are not green, as are the banks of the Swanee. They are not black as are the banks of the Hudson.
They are not red as the banks of Russia, nor golden as are those of our United States, No, no, they are blue, a beautiful marine blue. Their slope is gradual, indeed it can scarcely be noticed.
Many beautiful fish swim in the Gulf Stream including whales, goldfish and filet de sole.
What We Want To Know
Why can’t the Leviathan reach England on Tuesday instead of Friday?.
Why wasn’t the Leviathan built to an even 1,000 feet long instead of 960 feet?.
Why didn’t the ship builder add 400 tons and make it even 60,000 tons?.
If the fish they serve in the Dining Room is caught during the Leviathan’s crossing?.
If they get fresh milk on the ship from the cows in the Baggage Room?.
Who ties the ship knots and what they chapge per hour?.
Why don’t the people who , pay $1.50 for a deck chair, take them with them?.
Why don’t the passengers eat their Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner at the same time so that they save the poor stewards a lot of work?.
Who gives the ocean its permanent wave?
If all the ship meals are cooked in the Engine Room?.
If the life savers on the Leviathan are made of those candy peppermints we eat in New York?.
If the ship stops at night while the passengers are asleep?
