At the request of a reporter. MI
Graham today told of their trip II
detail:
I'VE left Philadelphia on tn,
steamship Providence. on April p
and, aside from three very stormy
days which we experienced soon
after leaving sight OF land. we had
wonderful days all the way to our
first stop, Palermo. Sicily, which
we reached May 5, passing en- route
the Azores and Gibralter." said Mr.
Graham. VAT Palermo we had a
very enjoyable sightseeing trip, go-
ing all the way up the mountains
to the Moreale Church, where we
saw some wonderful mosaics dat
ing back to the Norman Kings. We
also visited the catacombs where
several thousand bodies are buried.
1.-THE next day we reached Naples
and the view of Mt Vesuvius. as we
came into the beautiful bay, was
well to be remembered. We spent
one of our days in NAPLES going up
the volcano. and although a very
windy day. went into the crater and
were thrilled by the sight of the
interior. Another day was spent
visiting Pompeii. Amalf and Sor-
rento. and noteworthy is the Amalf
Drive. winding along the edge OF
the beautiful Mediterranean. Here
we had luncheon at the Capucinni
Monastery, situated way up on the
side OF the mountains. commanding
marvellous view and containing
a wonderful garden. When we were
there the lemon trees and rose
bushes were-at their best and the
fragrance divine. Another day was
spent on the Island OF Capri and
here we went into the Blue Grotto.
From Naples we went to Rome
and had the pleasure Of an au-
dience with His Holiness, Pope
Plus XII. which was very impress
sive. We spent days visiting the
Vatican. the ruins Of ancient Rome,
and the galleries. and then went on
TO Florence, where we devoted quite
some time to the Pitt and Afilzi
Galleries. and also went from here
TO Pisa and climbed to the top of
the leaning tower. Venice was our
next stopping place and we very
much enjoyed the gondola rides on
the canals and also feeding pigeons
in beautiful ST. Marks Square. At
Milan, the Cathedral impressed us
most with its tall and stately col |
umns and beautiful stained glass
windows. We finished our stay in |
Italy with visits TO Lake Como. Lake !

into Switzerland over the Simplon
Pass. stopping for a visit at the St. |
Bernard Hospice on our way.

Jungfrau. where we saw a thrilling
rescue of an Englishman who had
slipped into a crevice and was saved
by gentleman Of our party. We
also visited Grundelwald and went
into the cave in the glacier.

visits with our American Consul

was wonderful. We had the pleas
