fairy land. After passing through this
lake into the $50 foot cut it il mot % in
teresting.
ssThen we passed Culebra cut, where the
slides, so-callsd, are giving the engineers
30 much trouble. In reality they are not
slides at all, but uphea7als Of the earth.
Thus far it il almost . constant process.
In single night II will sometimes be
found that the bottom. of the cut will
raise two to four feet. The Troublesome
part Of the cut IL only 800 feet long and il
is constantly full OF dredges, working day
and night to keep sufficient depth in the
channel to pass the ships With dozen
other ships we were held up two days
awaiting . deepening of the channel to
twenty-six feet.
ssAfter passing Culebra, going west,
your ship soon comes to the first Pacific
locks, two sets together, the Pedro Miguel,
called Peter McGill for short, and here
your ship repeats the experiences she had
in the other locks, only going down in
stead OF up. After passing these two
locks-there is q short sail across Mirafiores
lake, then the last lock, the Mirsfiores,
that let's your ship down to sea level on
the Pacific. Then there is q sail Of about
fifteen miles by Balboa and the city OF
Panama, three miles distant, into Panama
bay and the gulf, bristiing with fortif-
cations.
s'Several of the higher islands at the
canal entrance are in process OF having
their tops cut on, to give an unobscured
range for the sixteen-inch guns mounted
on the other islands. Down Panama bay,
in sail OF twenty-five miles, you pass
close 10 several small islands. They are
in reality mountain peaks, extending their
tops above the water, and q steamer can
run within few feet OF them, and still
remain in deep water.
1--WE had q delightful trip up to
San Diego, an up-to-date American
city. Here is located the United States
aviation school, and aeroplanes, biplanes
and hydroplanes may be seen skimming
about. 1t is favorite stunt OF the pilots
Of hydroplanes to skim up the harbor to
within . few yards OF steamer at anchor,
rise and fly over her, perhaps seventy five
feet above her stack. then descend and
continue their journey up the harbor on
the surface of the water. From San Diego
we went to San Francisco, where we I'm
ished discharging and loaded 1000 tons OF
barley and 1900 tons Of canned goods and
lumber for philadelphia and New York.

every way, and don't believe that there
is an American steamer of her class that
is her superior in cargo capacity, comfort,
economy. speed and looks She is every
thing that her designer, Theodore e.
Ferris, OF New York, claims for her. We
don't know how fast she is, for we have
never pushed her to the limit, but we

chapter, help our country in some
serious way? When we read of the
ancient beauty of our hills when
clothed with trees, their present con-
ditions recalls the words of DR.. Souls
of Georgia: "These red hills, victims
of unwise handling, pitifully lift their
scanned, crooked faces to the sky!
We can make it part of our work to
study to restore, to encourage tree
planting, though, perhaps, at first
we should be ridiculed to feel and
show a real interest in the uplift of
life about us. Those women of the
former days strove for all to give lib
erty and life; and we, in their foot
steps, may in part repay our debt to
them, by giving to others the true
liberty-the larger life. In time of
war we have. stood together; let us
build together in time of peace. And
thus from out the shadows of the
heroic past the mantle of the Fair
Forest mothers of the Revolution
shall fall upon the shoulders of their
daughters, fair.
