Left dock 60, North River, New York on Feb. 9 at mid­night on S. Si Uruguay, one of tho Ameican Reepubican Lines winter cruise boats* Then wen now four of us travelling together, Hl from Canada. A co.at was needed^n leaving New York, but after one day out the weather turned quite warm. There was much to do on the Uruguay, 'with deck games, swimming and dancing being the main means of diversion. The sea was quite calm. We steered a course due south and were out four days and five nights before we agai^n, sighted land. We arrived at the island of Barbadoes. on the morhing of Feb. 14. Hen we had considerable trouble in dCearing fcu^Ttom!, due to stupidness of native porters and an evident dislike on the part of Custom House officials to do anything in a hurry, a seemingly typical trait of the people in this part of the woold. After a few hours on Barbadoes we left by a Dutch East Airline plane for te island of Trinidad, B.WI. , arriv­ing on the isl«nd after an hour and one half of flight. After again clearing customs we. drove to Port of Spain, capital and largest city of the island, by taxi and registered at the Queens Park Hooel. The following day we went to Pointe-A--iem, the company towi/by train, a distance of thirty miles but it took two hours. Frankly this is the first place l have ever bun which looks just as it is pictured in story books, in­cluding the vegetation and people. The natives are Negro and Indians, tie Negroes coming years ago from Africa and the Indians from India. No original Indians are now living, these Indians (Caribs) having been ex­terminated years ago. Most of them are Eiggish speaking and some quite intelligent. They live in terrible look­ing little huts at some distance from iointe-A-Pierre. l am working for ah oil company, (Cont*d. next issue) & *3 I ZhUU'J.

ON__SATURDAY "Get up my dear, 'tis Saturday, There's cleaning to be done, We must hurry from this job to that - It will keep us on the run, To do the baking, clean the house And have things spick and alean, So when supper is all over We may spend a free evening. To the Trading Co. I'll just drop And see who's chatting there, It's a popular place to purchase your goods And see all our- friends dear. I like the people in Magrath, They’re of a cheerful sort, The smiles are many, the frowns are few In the Trading Co. when the week is through."
