In Santiago that the party became really
convinced of the fact that breakfast IS
a great mystery to the South American
restaurateur. The cafes do not open
early enough to serve the morning meal.
even II the proprietorS understood what
breakfast meant. Repeated demands OF
newspaper ment for breakfast resulted
inevitably in delivery to their rooms of
the stereotyped trays of rolls, preserves
and coffee.
The Chilean has habit of staying up
late and making UP for the lost sleep by
remaining in bed until the sun Is well
up the next morning. He cannot be
disturbed for breakfast. If he is of the
wealthy class, as most of the citizens of
Santiago are, he loves pleasure and is
willing to spend lavishly of his fortune
| to attain it. One of Santiago's chief
paStines Is racing, and followers of the
sport there have provided themselves
with one of the most beautiful tracks In
the world. The Hipodromo at Rio Is its
only rival In South America. The San
| tiago track has a clubhouse that Is an
architectural gem. The approach Is
through a sunken garden, where foun-
tainS sparkle in the sunshine by day and
in rainbow-hued spotlights by night.
From the grandstand may be seen the
snow-capped submits of the distant
Cordilleras.
The Santiago Jockey Club entertained
a group of the good will pilgrims at a
buffet luncheon in the handsomely
furnished clubhouse, expressing profuse
regrets that lack of time precluded the
running of a special race program

on hearing correspondent inquire OF
the interpreter if questions might be
put to the foreign minister. The cabinet
officer explained that he merely wished
to make the acquaintance OF the press,
adding that he himself had been a
newspaper man once.
The newspaper contingent, by the
way, was by this time nearly up to its
regular strength. A Chilean military
airplane had brought to Santiago two Of
the three correspondents who had been
left behind at Antofagasta, but the Joy
or the reunion had ben beclouded by
the fact that second plane, bearing
the other members of the long-loSt trio,
had ben forced down at Copiapo, more
than 800 miles north Of the capital.
The returning pair Of correspondents
William Philip Simms and Edward
Price Bell, told remarkable story.
They, with the missing writer, Rodney
butcher, had gone ashore with the
other newspaper men at Antofagasta
and had been invited to lunch by the
commissioner of the port. The Ameri-
cans explained to their host that they
must return to the Maryland by
O'Clock, but the port officials said he
was in charge of all arrangements for
the battleship's departure and assured
his guests that anchor would not be
hoisted until o'clock. In the mean
time they must forget the ship and &C
cept lis hospitality. and he would
promise to put them aboard the Mary
land before she left.
Find Themselves Marooned.
Some time before o'clock the trio
was escorted to the wharves and there
they got the shock of their lives. The
Maryland had gone! They were ma
rooned without baggage, extra clothing
or money, in a remote port on the bar
rem northern strip of Chile. The port
commissioner was as flabbergasted as
the Americans. The impossible had
happened, and he was to blame. He
must atone for his mistake, somehow.
The radio and telegraph were brought
into play. Government othcials at San
tiago were advised Of the predicament
in which the trio Of correspondents had
found themselves. Prompt and drastic
measures were reSorted to.
The government sent motorized rail-
car to carry them part Of the way. The
rail-car was an old touring automobile
with Hanged wheels to fit the railroad
tracks. The chauffeur drove 1t at mile
