near town two or three years ago,
and went from here to Vancouver,

their home. Omitting private
matters. the letter says: On the
third of October last we took the
boat at Vancouver for New Zea-
land, by way of Honolulu. We
spent day in that city, where we
walked around and took in all the
sights. From there, in eight days,
we reached Suva, which is the
main seaport island of the FIJI
group. There we also got good
walk around that interesting tropi-
cal town, while the steamer was
loading fruit for New Zealand.
From there we landed in three
days in Auckland, where we have
been ever since. We had a smooth
sea the entire trip, and the dav we
crossed the equator there was a
strong breeze blowing, SO we did
not feel the heat very much.
We like the climate and the
people here, and the country a
round this city seems very produc-
