Islands. Down into the lagoon,
and up to the float, and ashore
for dinner-perhaps for bit of
tennis to timber up unused muscles
before the tropic dusk reminds US
that the hotels beds are comfort
able and that the takeof for Wake
tomorrow will be early.
The voyage to Wake Island is
unbroken by any sight of land; we
traverse 1912 miles of ocean in
Just about eight hours, but at the
end of our flight we have, thanks
to the International Date Line,
lost a day.
The astronomers have had their
little joke at the expense OF an
age of speed. Coming back, how
ever, the clipper will scoop that
day out of the water without
pause, toss it il the lap OF the air
port manager at Midway.
At Wake we find palm seedlings
coming along nicely; there is a
cooling green of grass before the
airport buildings; the hotel serves
us fresh vegetables from its
kitchen garden.
Already the hardships of the
North Haven pioneers who carved

The fight to Macao, Portugal's
possession at the mouth of the
Canton River, in China, does not
even consume an entire morning.
Less than five hours after we
have cleared Manila on the last
leg of our 8682-mile journey we
are dropping down into a lane
kept clear of junks and sampans,
taxing up to the float. Canton
is only 40 miles away; planes of
American Chinese lines
stand ready to speed us on to
Shanghai or Peiping.
Our trip to China has taken us
less than five days; add the day
lost crossing the international
date line and we have still done
it in under week. Yet this, be-
fore either of us is much older,
will be called slow time.
