then stirred them up with his fork
and drank the stuff down.

But let me tell you what we have at
our meals The first breakfast is serv-
ed as soon as you come out or your
cabin 1t consists Of a cup of black
coffee and hunk of dry bread. There
is a plate Of butter before you which
you may eat or not as you please. The
first real meal comes at 1850. 1t is
called almuerzo; it begins with cold
meats, a slice of bologna sausage with
green stuff on top. Then follows
SOUP, after which comes the beef and
bones that were cooked in the soup.
Sometimes the soup has also vege-
tables and you get these with the
beef. The next course is some other
meat or chicken cooked Spanish style,
and after that mutton chop or beef
steak with potatoes on the side. The
almuerzo usually closes with fruit and
black coffee.
Dinner is served at $50. 1t is
known as comida. 1t is much the
there is an extra course or SO and a
dessert. A very fair wine is served
with these two meals without extra
charge. The cooking is not good from
an American standpoint. Nevertheless
the passengers seem to be pleased.
One of them who sat beside me at
dinner today and ate every course
asked me if we ever had as good a
meal as that in our country. I re-
piled that I thought it likely, but /
could see that he did not believe. AS

can who cannot stand Spanish cook
ing, when he heard the above he re-
| marked, sotto voce: LAS good meals
