Arrived here Wednesday and have

Sights near here. Thursday we took
a long auto trip through Nice,
Cannes. Cagnes, Antilles, Grasse

started onward to see and marvel at
more of the wonders of nature.
About two o'clock we came to the
town of Grasse where there are the
two largest perfumeries in the
world. We went through both of
them, sand the process of extracting
perfumes was explained to us. We

machinery and the finished product.

800 francs per bottle. Well l could
write all day about the trip and just
get started SO I'll write little
about everything and proceed to the
next thing. We then started out
again and by that time it was rain

put the car top up for us. He told
us it rained up there quite often.

all the road and pointed out the
places of interest to us. He could

comrade could talk quite, a little
French so we got along quite WELL
In fact he was French soldier on

The wreck reported some days on the
Anegada Reef is that of the British g.
ma5ted schooner B. L. Rafuse, which
was recently abandoned on fire by her
crew, when on her way from Guadeloupe
to bordeaux with a cargo of rum.
The "Rafuse'' is lying bottom up, and
salvage operations are proceeding, but
thus far only three casks of rum have
been found.
A thorough search has been made of
the nearby islets and bays for cargo that
might have drifted away from the
wreck, but up to the present the search
has been without success.
