lighted all of Us were. There is n
more second class-only royalty an
fools travel first class, and all other
go third class in these funny littl
coaches.
On the special which was put o.
at the request Of the white Sta
Line" for Canopic travellers, we ha'
a beautiful trip down to London
leaving Liverpool at g. We passet
through what looked like one beauti
full and continuous garden, dowl
across the entire little Island O.
England. The houses are quite quain
and seem to follow no special archi.
tectural pattern; maybe all in on'
town will be exactly alike in every
respect; on the roofs will be seer
many f1ues or chimneys-there seems
to be a chimney for every fireplace
All Of the farms are divided by
hedges, some Of privet, others English
holly, and still others, the famous
hawthorn. 1t is in bloom now. Along
the track were canals, quite narrow,
with a path along the side. l think
these are used for transportation for
| noticed large barges with ropes tied
to mules which served as means of
motive power. We passed numbers of
marvellous estates, and saw thatched
roofs and fields Of poppies. The trees
are simply wonderful.
At 9:30 the sun set in all its glory
and at 10 We pulled into London. It
was not yet dark -twilights are very
long.
Our hotel was a shock to US for it
is some swell. guess they are Civ
ing US the best Of everything because
the party is small. You know we
booked with Gates Tours, but that is
all under Raymond Whitcombs the
best known and most experienced
cravel guides in the world. Pearl and
| have lovely room with huge lava
tory. To my delight it has hot and
cold water.
We got to bed at about l o'clock
and slept finely though | woke up
:wice holding on frantically thinking
was still on the ship.
The meals are grand. had regu-
ar porridge for breakfast, toast
Eggs, delicious fish, ham, plum jam
md rolls with grand chocolate. I told
'ou | had lost flesh which was the
ruth, but am just bound to gain
or | am eating like mad.
After breakfast we drove around
he city. ! cannot 90 into details suf-
cient to write that we crossed Lon-
on Bridge, and then the Tower
Bridge built by the city of London
'ithout taxing the people penny.
'ou see some land was left the city,;
1e unearned increment on the proper
Y amounted to enough to build the
ridge. London Tower is nearby. In
eality this is composed of four minor
Dwers-the White, the Bloody, the
and Beauchamp. The White
over contains dungeons, and terrible |
title windows, winding stairs with
teps of stone to the various rooms
ow used as museum, containing
rmor, coats of mail both for horses
nd men, lances, pixies, spears, swords,
tc. The cloak used by Gen Wolfe,
nd the one It is said he died upon is
here; also the a11nor used by the
'arious kings, dukes, etc. Sir Walter
saleigh's cell is here, also the chapel
# St. John where services were held
or those confined within it's walls;
lere is where Sir Walter Raleigh at
ended services when confined for
uch long period.
We crossed the courtyard passing
he place where the scaffold was
'rected which ended the life Of poor
Ann Bolyn, Lady Jane Grey, etc. Il
orgot to say in one of the dungeons
S kept the block used for chopping off
reads; also the huge stones used for
lropping on the heads of certain un-
fortunate creatures who were in dis
'avor.
From the courtyard where ravens
we're strolling about, we went into
Beauchamp's Tower. Up there are
of cells which confined many
,otables in history. To while away
he time the prisoners were allowed
% carve anything they wanted to so,
low those carved sentiments are kept
lnder glass.
