Georgetown boasts a wonderful Botanical Garden, covering I am told 160 acres, we’took a drive round it and it was certainly interest- ing. They have every variety of tropical trees and shrubs, every pro- duct native to British Guiana is found in the gardens, they also have a long sea-wall stretching for miles. On Saturday afternoon, after a drive through the gardens, we took a stroll along this sea-wall and found it plea- santly cool, British Guiana below sea level and consequently has to have dykes built to keep from washing a- way, they are very strongly built. We listened to a band concert for an hour or so, this is the place where all the. nurses and their babies congregate to get cooled off and it is really interest- ing to see the different types of child- ren there, you can pick out every nationality. In the evening we at- tended a picture show Where the conâ€" ditions were rather crude. The silent one too of course, and how the natives yell it is deafening. This is a great place for parrots and you can buy them cheap, other wonderful birds too are here in great variety. The only birds I’ve really seen since we left Bermuda, they seem to be scarce on the other islands. On Sunday morn~ ing we attended the church of Scot- !and called St. Andrew’s this is a large church With a mixed congre- gation. I perspired going in but soon cooled down inside. It seems remark- able down here that the moment you get inside of place you feel cool right away. This is a great place for sal- oons, no prohibition here, everybody drinks even ourselves. Quite a few things are dearer than in Canada. This place seems to be full of Holy men, those strange Hindus from India who go about in rags and dirt and perform all kinds of strange rites and {Diary of Trip Through West Indies and Tropical ‘ Regions by Claude V. Wright of Richmond Hill 1 Who Recently Returned From Interesting Tour. February 21, 1930.â€"~Arrived at Georgetown British Guiana at 10 o'clock in the evening. Georgetown is on the Imarara River and believe me its a muddy one. We have to come in on high tide and must have scraped the bottom all the way up the ‘liver. It is a fairly busy port. We were unable to get accommodation the evening we arrived and therefore had ‘to stay on board all night. We seâ€" icured rooms at the Park Hotel in the ‘morning‘. This place is very back- ‘ward and the conveniences fair con- sidering the climate. This is surely a poly glot population, every nation- ality being represented. Georgetown has a population of 60,000 and pretty wide streets, they are clean in the main sections, but the native quarter is bad, filled with evil smells. The whole town however looks shabby and rather down at heel, in fact conditions in British Guiana are very bad. The whole Colony is practically bankrupt. Tremendously in debt and so far be- hind. that they had to apply to the British Government for aid. I am told they tried self Government for awhile and made such a mess of it. They spent money recklessly and ex- tiavagantly and ran themselves into such a hole, by bad and rotten admin- istration, that they asked to be taken on again as a. crown colony, and Brit. ain will have some time getting her back into shape again. Their meth- ods are peculiar in doing business I’ll say. If they expect to do business with Canada and get a square deal, all round they will have to change their ways. They don’t know what reciprocation means, they do nothing .to encourage tourists. Now I said it was getting 'hot the farther south we came, but ddwn here hot isn’t the word, it’s simply blazing the heat at noon‘is fearful, dead sticky heat and thenmoment you _at_tempt to exert your- February 20, 1930â€"Left Trinidad on our Way to our last port of‘ call go~ ing south. It is now getting very hot as We are getting close to the equator. The sea is fairly calm but the ship being light is tossing a- round somewhat. The ocean is a peculiar green color, one thing I notâ€" ice that the sky is not so blue in the tropics, there seems to be a haze al- ways in the sky, and it’s the palest of colors. Our passenger list is also light, many of them leaving the ship at Trinidad. We will soon be in Georgetown, and when leavmg Triniâ€" dad we had to go through a narrow strait called the twin Bocas. I think they call it the serpent’s mouth. Some- of the passengers are feeling pretty listless, and tired after all this excite~ ment and rush, it’sbeen rather a long sea trip. numerous vessels were anchored in the roadstead when we arrived. . All the cargoes have to-be taken ashore in barges, which makes it pretty slow work. They tell me in Trinidad that things are not too good just now, there being a big depression, the town cer- tainly doesn’t show it. I think it is m the interior where they are squer~ ing. All these tropical places seem to be sufiering from periodical blights. There are a tremendous number of jelly-fish round Trinidad, and also a great number of pelicans. They tell me this is the land of the humming bird, but I didn’t see any, also a great number of parrots abound on this isâ€" land. The shores are very rugged all round and it’s a great sight from the ship. " A good number of our passengers got off at Trinidad that being the place Where the set congregate. Life is pretty wild I imagine, and it does~ n't take a person long to find out eithâ€" er. Although ships cannot get close in shore it is a busy little port, and In our last issue we left off in this interesting trip with Claude just leavâ€" ing the famous Port of Spain. This week many other interesting places are visited and interesting experiences recorded. Travelling in New Places and Seeing New Things with Richmond Hill Resident Ia motor trip over the famous saddle- :back mountain. This island possess- les wonderful mountain Scenery and ,the luxuriant tropical vegetation right to the mountain tops is a wonderful lnght to see, great estates of cocoaâ€" trees and cocoamut trees cover this lisland, and also giant bamboos. coffee tiees, oranges and limes abound. The iroads are good, splendidly kept up and [are a credit to Trinidad. The heat Llaere is very great and ma. tropic I 'can assure you. Shepping in Port of Spain is a great adventure and numer- ous bargains must be struck or else a person will be taken in if he or she doesn’t look out. There are two fine ’ Canadians Banks, and business seems to be going on briskly. The majorâ€" ity of the people seem fairly‘prosper- |ous and begging doesn’t seem so pro- lnounced as in other places. The im- portation of a great number of Hindus. hasn't made things good for. the neg-‘ roes. There are some very prettv‘ girls on this romantic island. which is‘ full of history connected with Sir. ‘Walter Raleigh who made many as raid on the town of Port of Spain ( To-night we witnessed our first real tropical sunset and it was a glorious sight, but still I think Crnadian sun- sets are more full of color and on the average much better than the tropics“ I have seen so much sugar cane, I don’t need to put it in my tea any more. It grows in great quantities on eVery island. We certainly have our fill of tropic fruits. but they have- n’t the flavor of northern fruit. They mature too fast to have real juice. The natives of these islands show marks of all kinds of diseases, peculiar to tropical climes. and it is very sad to see the Wrecks of some of the spec- imans of humanitv. We in temnerâ€" ate climes can thank our lucky stars that we are free from those repulsive scars and sicknesses. You sometimes nay the neneltv of living too long in these hot and debilitating climes.

Sorry in a way, and' yet glad in another. half of our four is gone, and We have now turned homeâ€" -ward, so far it has been a wonderful [experience one never to be forgotten. My first experience of the tropics. We are now running back again to Triniâ€" dad which will be reached to-‘morrow, ceremonies out on the open street. Beggars Without number infest tho streets a usual thing in all the islands of the West Indies with the exception of Grenada I think. We also harp in sleep with mosquito nets round us Int so far we haven‘t been bothered with any. They catch a lot of small aili- gators doxm here too. Elephantitis is a disease peculiar to the tropits. and we find plenty of it on all the l>> lands and in British Guiana, its the result I’m told of being bitten by an insect which cause the feet and ankles tJ swell to large proportions many of the natives have it. This colony has a Wonderful variety of palms. An interesting palm is the travellers palm so shaped like a huge fan it is very graceful. On Sunday afternoon we thoroughly explored he Botanical gardens and they are quite extensive the largest in the West Indies. They have "a great variety of palms, more than I at first dreamed of. One of the nicest and largest shade trees out side of a banyan is the Saman tree and along the middle of main street are two rows of this beautiful tree. Georgetown is a. great place for can- als and ditches. Of course this town was originally built by, the Dutch who built it from a‘ pattern of their own country. The water in these canals and ditches is stagnant, and very dir- ty how they keep them from smelling is beyond me. There are lots of churches in this town of all denomin- ations, and outside of the town a few miles are Hindu Temples. The Atlantic breeze is the salvation of Georgetown, it would be almost impossible to live there without it. It is a dead sticky heat, what it must be like in July I won’t try to imagine. After talking to various Whites who live here (and they are very few indeed) my impresâ€" sion is that it isn’t a white man’s coun- try, and it gets the most of them in time. They have to go away to re- cuperate. It’s the climate that works on a person, slowly and insidiously and gets in its deadly work neverthe- less. A person cannot walk very far without becoming exhausted in this fierce tropical heat. Even the blacks feel \the heat and perspire and fan themselves. The people are hespit- able on the whole, and try to do the best they can for you. The people are very law abiding, and are the best behaved I’ve seen so far. Although all the islands visited have been noted for their good conduct and kindness to visitors, in spite of their terrible pov- erty and squalor, and dirt, they seem to remain cheerful. On most of the islands of the West Indies, the people have a hard time eking out a bare liv- ing, it is pitiful to see the conditions on some of these islands, where every prospect pleases, and the you know. Another thing I must say, before I forget, and that is about tropic fruits, they haven’t the flavor of northern fruits, and a person soon gets tired of them. They mature too quick, and are oversize. This is also a great place for birds and some of them realâ€" llv musical (a rare thing with birds of the tropics), they also have beautiful plumage of all colors.

Too much alcohol is not good in hot countries, a person must be careful what they eat, ice cold drinks also should be tabooed, and cool or fairly warm drinks should be taken So far I haven’t been burdened by the heat, and have stood it pretty well. Most of the business of this island seems to be done by Portugese, and there are a. great many on the island, they are very nice and courteous and try to make the visitor welcome, as much as they possibly can.‘ (Continued next week) Lorne Avenue Radio and Car Battery Charging HON.
