I Here We saw Moors. dark.

robe of fine blue cloth. who carried
a cane. and bore the mien of All inn

America and as far west as Chicago
and at ST. Louis during the fair.
He spoke good English. asked
him to have the night gowned man

me take their pictures. He said

The finest experience was getting
into the tender to take us ashore.
We went down ladder at the side
of the ship. with canvass sides and a
chain guard rail-that is the ladder
ABOUT forty or fifty feet, when
the waves rocked and jammed the
tender against the ship so that the
sailors. four strong fellows. simply
had to toss US bodily into the boat,
two pitching and two catching. The
tender would wash away and come
back with swell and splash, roll
and toss-just bit dangerous and
full of excitement. The water
swept over the tender and wet our
/ feet.
You cannot see much of the forti-
fications. The guns are but few in
view. The mountain or rock is tun.
neled and galleried through and
through and only few holes can be
seen. as they are hidden. The only
way this place could be captured
would be by siege. not even drop
ping dynamite from balloons would
disturb them. OF course, the Brit
ish city might be destroyed. but not
the Notifications. The city is full
OF military stores. ammunition, or
dInance guns. etc. There are said
to be 1900 soldiers at this place.
There may be more. there may be
less. A gunboat or two was in the
bay but no battleship. With Glib

is touched by Spain. France, Italy.
Austria. Turkey. and the countries
OF Africa. and. in case of war, could
stop every foreign vessel from en-
tering or leaving that great COM
mercial sea. and block much of the
worlds trade.
As we approached the great rock,
gentleman says to another passen-
ger, Can you read the letters on
the rock?" She looked and looked,
and finally gave it up. She hated to
give up. for she was an old maid.
She says mo. can't see them.
What are they!" He replied. .Pru-
