An ancient pile of building stands
Gray.
Leaving Wollaston on Saturday our
first point was Cambridge, but uufor-
Eunately (or for me very fortunately q
tire burst at Bedford, right in front of
the John Bunyan monument. That
gave us chance TO see Bedford, Ell
ston and other places in connection
with the Pilgrims Progress, the jail
wnere Bunyau was imprisoned and
other historic points. We arrived in
Cambridge, got located in the best
hotel accidentally and started to see
the city. 1t was Saturday evening
and q warm one at that. Everyone
was out on the streets which are so
very narrow that the walks are
built but two feet wide. 1t is impossi-
BILE to keep on the walks and as the
streets are not over two rods wide you
have to jump from side to street and
back again. It's wonderful how they
do business on sucn narrow streets.
After we got good and tired we started
for the hotel and decided we would re-
tire for the night but we found out
that it was holiday (eve before Whit
Sunday and the Cambridge students
were out for a good time; so bed or
sleep was QUITO the thought, Thou
sands of them were in and out of the
hotel. At Oxford the students wear
mortar board hats, here they wear
mortar board hats and cloak of black
serge over the shoulders. They looked
queer to us, After few games Of
whist we heard them start to sing,
"God Save the King" and Of course
thought we could go to bed, but soon
it was "AuId Lang Syne", and after
that it must be "God Save the King"
again. 30 there was not much sleep
in Cambridge Early in the morning
Mrs. Marriott says, "Do you hear
them bells?" It was the Cambridge
bells Ginning for early church,
While it was very early she was
very glad they woke her because they
were the finest we had heard. After
q good English breakfast we visited
the principal colleges and historic
places and started for the Wash on
the North Sea. After an hours run on
a fine road we arrived at Ely and
hearing band playing had to stop.
We found that the bishop was going
to preach at Ely cathedral, so we
stopped the automobile, went
TO the ancient cathedral and
heard regimental play and saw them
escort the bishop to the pulpit. Then
I got the fellow with buttons on to
show us through such parts as were
not used for service. It's grand
old cathedral but could get no cards
of it because it was Sunday. We ar
rived at Kings Lynn (The Wash)
for late dinner but it was relished by
all of us. After look around Kings
Lynn.and, it's historic points we.started
from Cromer, the high class place
on the North Sea, but to our
pleasant surprise we saw sign,
"to Sandringham and Castle"
asked if that was the estate of royalty
or one of the kings homes and they
said, eyes" SO it became more inter-
esting to US. To say the surrounding
country was beautiful, was very mild.
[ offered to bet that l could get out of
the motor car and put salt on pleas
ants tail, there were SO many of thtm
and so tame. l made the bet with
Mr.. Pitts, but he said, eff you try to
touch one of these pheasants there will
be two game keepers after you before
you get back in the car" so the bet
was off. Regretfully leaving Sand
bingham we started for Corona, az
irving for the Sunday evening tea and
After a good visit Sunday
evening and a good nights sleep /
was up in the early morning to see the
fishing boats come in. They were
loaded with the sea crab and lobster,
the crab being much the largest catch.
Our next stop was at Yarmouth, the
great medium resort of England, also
one of the greatest fishing ports of the
world. L was invited to go with che
