TRIP TO BRAZIL
Picturesque Scenes AIT Bahia
and Rio de Janerio.


selves on deck to watch the coast line. The
cliffs which came IN view were high and look
ed to be covered in streaks down to the waters
edge with snow. but which proved to be very
white sand. We reached Bahia just long
enough before sunset for the port doctor and
custom house officers to come on board. Then
the ship was free to unload and the passengers
to leave Five went for good and many to see
the town. It is built on the side Of q hill, like
Port Deposit. onlyi row above row of houses
and when lighted up was most beautiful
sight, We anchored quite distance out and
steps were put down the side Of the boat and
at the foot the passengers were met by yachts,
row boats and little sail boats; the latter two
painted inside with all the colors Of the rain
bow, most crudely, and darkies in bare feet
standing straight up pushing them, all the
boats getting near the foot of the ladder with
great difficulty. The passengers were simply
dragged into the boats and they said it was
worse landing. Ladies' were wet to their
waists, trunks being put on board swishfng in
the water. No thank you, we did not go.
Nine gentlemen went in one party. The
streets are dirty and SO narrow that a person
walking, In many places had to get out Of the
way Of the trolley. You go to the upper part
Of the city on the hills by an elevator. Is it
not funny9 These nine gentlemen had dinner
and paid $1,000 feas for it--not quite SIS. but
does it not sound large.
We got the most delicious oranges there,
never tasted any like them The California
seedless oranges came from there.
Well, twenty people came on board, all hut
one, natives. One family with nine children,
50 funny looking They loaded and unloaded
all night and we started about six o'clock
