Travelling in New Places and Seeing New Things with Richmond Hill Resident interest, including the famous Wond- erland cave of Coral way down in the bowels of the earth, with Stalactites hanging from the top and stalagmites sticking up from the bottom. These coral formations form wonderful shapes resembling various animal and vegetable forms, at the bottom clear sparinng water, which would at first sight to be only a few inches deep, but on investigation proved to be more than thirty feet deep. This water has a strong quantity of lime and when dripping down the (Stalagmites) Clirystalizes and becomes hard. On tapping various stallagmites with a small hammer various musical notec of the scale are sounded producingr music and harmony. The vegetatior of this island is semiâ€"tropic, numerou cocoanut «palms, sago palms, datt palms, banana trees and coffee tree abound; also fire dragon Bougainville' paw, paw trees and the magnificen’ royal palm.

The stained glass windows are beauti- ful, the woodwork, Bermuda cedar. and Nova Scotia pine. Wonderful residences abound with their luxurious tropic verdure in the gardens. The negroes are interesting and very cour- teous, with English accents, they are very nicely dressed, and remarkably clean. Girls certainly abound on this island, there are also numerous‘Portâ€" ugese descendants here. During our limited stay we had a very pleasant time. I don’t think I would care to stay here all my life. I think I would be bored to death. However every- one to his taste. Palms for most part line the streets the roadways are solid and are formed of coral and are excellent for wheels. While the waterfront seems to be the oldest part of the town and really not very clean, still it is very interesting, especially the old fashioned spiral iron stair cases, which reach to the upper stories. We paid a visit to the Cathedral, and were shown around by the Portugese verger who explained to us the numerous details, this Cath- edral is especially interesting because Monday, February 10, 1930. Arriv- ed at Bermuda a glorious, beautiful morning. ‘ The bluest of blue seas,. varying in all shades of blue, Hamil- ton {he capital, rather a small town, totally lacking in motor cars. Only saw one truck in the whole island. Beautiful white coral houses gleaming ;a dazzling radiance in the sun. Rather ‘J'iard on the eyes, I should fancy if a person stayed long enough. Made a tour offhe island in an old fashioned Victoria with a colored driver, who showed us all the various points of Left Halifax 12.30 a. m. Saturday, lirst day out was very rough and squally, with choppy seas. Ship pitching and tossing considerably, a large number of passengers sick. Heavy showers of ‘rain. Second day, much better, wind going down and sea much calmer, but still with a heavy swell, the ship still roll- ing somewhat, passengers beginning to appear now quite a number for the first time, climate getting much war- mer, we are now in the Gulf stream. The sun’s rays are also beginning to he felt. We are now only a short distance from Bermuda. The Lady Nelson is a well appointed ship, the latest thing in comfort and elegance. Splendid cabins and every convenien- ce, pleasant stewards, very courteous and obliging and willing to give you any information. All in all so far a pleasant trip. I may say from the captain to the crew all are nice fell» ows, nothing to do but eat and sleep and pay social visits with our travell- ing‘ companions. February 12, 1930. The good ship still plowing her way south, this is a day of squalls, but the sea very calm, signs of the tropics are now beginning to be :ee... Y's saw our first flying xishes to-dayâ€"a school of them. This ship’s, officers changed from blue uniâ€" forms to white also to-day. The sun this morning was very hot and we had to take off some clothes, the deck.games continued and everyone seemed happy, and still enjoying the voyage. We shall soon have all the LADY NELSON.

The female population also predominated like the other islands, negroes loll and lie all over the streets not much work seems to be done. It is very hot in the streets, the wn beats down vertically, and certainly scorches one. The town of Basse Terre is not very big, I would judge labout 8000 people, it nestles at the .foot of a fairly big mountain range. Life in these islands I fancy is rather slow, and a person would die of nothâ€" ing to do. It is well policed, and the beggars are kept away very politely. After staying in the town for a while :I was glad to come back on the boat ‘to get cool, we have to be rowed a- !shore by native boatmen at a shilling 'ahead. It gives them employment, the negro population is quite a prob- 'lem, it is pretty hard to know what to give them to do, they must live some- :how, and work is none to plentiful in the West Indies. ' fans going to cool us off. I caugh' a slight cold in Bermuda but it is pas- sing away. Having a good salt watâ€" er bath every morning and feeling fine I have two wonderful cabin companâ€" ‘ions very entertaining and amusing. ISO far have had no seaâ€"sickness, prov- ‘ing a pretty good sailor, let’s hope it continues as I think it will. The sea seems to be getting blner and bluer the farther we go south, and such beautiful sunsets to are a delight to lthe eye. These ships do not speed, but keep a steady run all the time. It is much cheaper not to run them to full capacity speed and much easier on her engines. ’She is an oil burner and remarkably clean and spick and span, no coal dust to annoy very easy ' on the clothes and soforth. Smoke is a scarce articleon board except to- bacco smoke. Dancing has comrnenâ€" ,ce.d and made the evenings a little more lively.

The police are all Black. and are smart, spick and span in neat white uniforms, and have a fine mili- tary carriage. They are always will- ing to help and assist the visitors in every way. The streets of this anci- ent town are very interesting, narrow and quaint and are. reminiscent of ‘rance, the little old fashioned stores, February 14,,1930â€"Arr1ved at m. Kitts, Leeward Islands, a beautiful morning, a real tropic morning. Went ashore and saw the sights of the town which is called Basse. Teri‘e, and is the capital of the island, this island has great sugar plantations, wonderâ€" in] fields of sugar cane, it is also very mountainous. The town is an anci- ent one, old fashioned streets, houses with great thick walls, wonderful co- coanut palms, and all kinds of tropical fruits, at the present time the island LL __- \Vlul Lin: “Linc E, ..... To-night at 7 o’clock, we sighted the lighthouse on Sombrero Island the first sight of land for three days.

February 14, 1930â€"Arrived at St. mus [upward Islands, a beautiful February 14th. 1930â€"Left St. Kitts at 1.30 and sailed for the island of Nevis, which is only twelve miles disâ€" tant, arrived there at half past two o'clock. Was rowed ashore by Nat- ive boatmen and paid an interesting visit to the town of Charleston which is the capital. This is a very ancient town. full of history, especially conâ€" nected with Nelson who mc '“ his future wife here and was also m"-rried at a place called fig-tree which is only five miles from this town. The town itâ€" self is verv clean. especially the water front. The native quarter however wmter for summer, but so it is and the actual facts are with us. We have only one boy about twelve or thirteen years of age on the ship, so I have a great time keeping him aâ€" mused, because he is too shy to play with the little girls: ‘ i 7,“ -:~L4m,!

'l‘he great Pelican bird is an interest- ing creature, and the way he dives in- to the water after fish is a great thing i to see. This is a great island for cocoanuts, groves and groves of cocoaâ€" ‘ nut trees and banana trees in vast a. liundance. The bread fruit tree also grows thick on this island. It is a great place for cactus. I picked one , and got my fingers full of pricks. ,This island like St. Kitts is very moun- tuinous being of volcanic origin. All the mountains are extinct volcanoes enormous craters showing in every one. This is the place to get tanned with the tropical sun and you certain- ly do get it. The water is very blue round these islands and also very deep, sharks are outside, but do not penetrate the harbor unless a ship stays in a few days. When you are walking through the streets swarms of black children follow you wherever you go persistently begging for penn- ies. They are happy go-Iucky and seemed contented with their lot in spite of their rags and squalor. February 15, 1930â€"Arrived at the Island of Antigua and anchored about. a mile from shore. I did not go a- shore at this place but intend to visit it on the return journey. The water is a wonderful blue at'Antigua, this is the first place I saw sharks, small ones. The sharks are thick in this vicinity. Left Antigua at 1 p. m. and after a four hours sail arrived at he island of Montserrat the place famous for it’s limes. This is a rug- {red and mountainous island volcanic in origin, and very hot, \vcnt ashore, was rowed as usual by native boatâ€"l mcn. The people of this island havel a slight Irish brogue, having been setâ€" tled at one time by Irish. The capia tal of the island ‘is Plymouth and a Wary quaint old town, it is. All kinds of tropical fruits grow here, if given a chance, but the island shOWS signs of lack of cultivation. The people are very poverty stricken, and the same usual thing the women far out- number the men, and try to improve themselves as much as possible. (Continued next week) (We are indebted to Mr. Wright for permission to publish the diary kept on his recent tour of the West Indies. We are assured that it is a faithful record of outstanding events and visits of the tour, but of course we cannot vouch that it included everything that happened on the trip. We are sure it will be interesting to our readers. (Ed.)

With the advent of the tele- phone, the morale of law offenders began to weaken and the arm of the authorities was strengthened.
