MANY river ports have food In
plenty and the peasant women bring
1t down to the wharves. During the
time the steamer Is at the dock the
scene Is a busy one. passengers MIL
ling about, like cattle In a corral as
they pass from vendor to vendor. seek
ing bargains. This frequent exodus 10
the shore Of shoppers for food Is the
most absorbing spectacle Of the Volsa
River journey. It never loses Its hu-
man interest.
The peasant women and children
are patient, pleasant, and shrewd mer-
chants. Neither they nor their GUS
toners are bothered by such trifies as
dust or germs; for the other booths OF
this bazaar are baskets and q few feet
Of earth along the dusty dock or It's
approaches. Here round loaves OF
dusky bread, IS to "a inches in dame
ter, are displayed, that they may later
be gathered to the hosom Of hungry
passengers and borne To their cabins.
Lucky Is the soldier who can pillow
his head upon one Of these leaves BY
night and MUNICH upon 1t by day.
"The idea OF Russia's plenty is visu-
allied along the river. Upstream ships
are laden within and without with
great cloth covers. At some small
ports there are literally thousands OF
watermelons on display. Small fruits
are abundant. Some things are even
cheap at places, as a watermelon for
10 orl5 cents and loaf Of bread for
about the same.
Much Of the fresh produce must go
to waste. The passengers on the boats
do their utmost to prevent that unde-
sirable fate for edibles, for they seem
to be always eating. eating. eating. l
cannot recall a single stroll around the
deck, at any hour of the day or night,
when l did not see somebody eating
or drinking. The overcrowded peas
ants on the deck below the saloon,
passengers above are alike in this, that
they are continually producing from
their stores some sort OF food to be
eaten with the ver-present tea.
still, one need not always study his
fellow passengers. There Is the seem
cry OF the shore. which. further down.
includes the villages Of the Tatar trib-
es, with their round houses that look
like haystacks; and far reaches OF roll
ling meadow land and wheat fields;
and hills and forests, and sand-dunes
and towns and cities, with wild ducks
and geese flying between.
Endless Procession of River Craft
Then there is the incessant process
sion Of boat life; 1000 steamships reg
ularly ply upon theVolga. Big barges,
in groups Of five or six, with half q
dozen small boats clustered like bar
nacles behind: are towed by side-wheel
tugs Fishing craft, manned by kar-
| macks and other natives, glide by or
are passed at anchor. From the shore
comes the sound of church bells, made
musical by travelling over the water"
