the island as n sort of IA mythical place

fit to rank with the most devoted of

Old Gate at Jolo.

Across JOlO fiOlL the sea front stands
the old gate. the opening scene in the
'Sultan of Sulu." This controls all ap-
proach from the country and is always
well guarded. The sentries here must
protect the town from dangerous char
acters for it is through this gate that
fanatics who have sworn death vows
in the country must pass before they
can glut their religious passion on n
Christians blood There are always
two sentries al this gate. One covers
every Moro who comes in with his
gun. while the other searches him.

chief characteristics of old Sultan Ha-
