Drawing room 13 is occupied by Colonel and Mrs. Mitchell. Brother Mitchell is a member of West Philadelphia Division No. 162, and a conductor on the Maryland Division; he is well known as a genial, good-hearted fellow, and was given the title of “Colonel” several years ago by his associates because of his entertaining and hospitable disposition.
Leaving the “Marco” with its happy occupants, whose comforts will be looked after by the polite and attentive porter, Dennis Jackson, I passed through the vestibule into the next car, “Milton,” which I found similar in almost every respect to the “Marco.” Meeting the porter, stalwart, good-natured Dick Pettus, I informed him that I had visited the “Milton” in order to obtain the position and names of the occupants.
“I’m not much acquainted with anybody yet,” replied Dick, “but don’t think I’ll have any trouble, as everybody seems to be all right and happy.”
“Yes,” I answered, as I took a glance at the occupants of the car, “you will find them all first rate people, and all right in the daytime, but be careful and keep the doors locked and your eye on them at night, for there are two or three in this car who are afflicted with somnambulism, and they might walk off the train or get into the wrong berth while in such a condition.” “Good Lord,” was Dick’s reply as he vanished into the toilet room. I find the state room in the “Milton” reserved for a hospital. It is hoped it will not be needed for such a purpose.
