For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, November 3rd, 1888," showing the Following 8 Engravings for "A Pleasure Cruise to the Mediterranean on Board the Steam Yacht "Victoria"-VI., A Night at Anchor off Jaffa." From Sketches by Mr. A. M. Horwood.

   1- Just before dark, when the chief steward went ashore to the post, the sea was not so smooth as it had been, but I was told it was customary weather for Jaffa.
   2- At dinner I was helped to soup in a manner that I believe is also customary at Jaffe.
   3- So that later on I was not surprised to find myself slipping about on the shiny leather cushions of the Smoking Room.
   4- At 10 p.m. I had serious thoughts about retiring for a night's rest.
   5- But soon before midnight I abandoned the idea.
   6- And hearing some of our passengers had returned from Jerusalem, I went on deck to see them get on board.  (Mem.-It was a fine night overhead)
   7- Feeling more composed after the diversion I again courted slumber, this time on the floor of the music room, casting myself upon a heap of rugs that littered a corner.
   8- but the heap of rugs (otherwise an indignant dragoman) objected to the proceeding ;  and rest was denied me.

Condition is Very Good.
