Evidence that American stay-at.
homes are more than ready to in.

came not long ago in response to an
announcement that a new feet o1
passenger cargo vessels would ply
sunny waters to South America, the
Western Hemisphere's Europe.
Calls poured in on Washington
travel agencies, some voices tinged
with the tense expectancy of q
family that seeks to get its name
high on the auto dealers list of new
car deliveries. The answer Of the

With the immediate task TO ship
ping still unclarified, the travel men
are somewhat vague about the re-
turn Of the day when luxurious ves-
sells will sail on regular routes with
in the hemisphere and cruise ships
will land their gay throngs for short
jaunts onto the honeymoon islands
stretching from Bermuda to the
West indies. The consensus would
seem to fix the time somewhere in
S1946's summer for luxury travel over
regular routes toward and into the
Caribbean area, while the departing
whistles of gay short cruises meas
uring up to prewar enjoyment might
not be heard until the 1867 winter.
One OF the most tangible prospects
for sea voyages in the near future
comes from the Grace Line, which
hopes soon to announce specific
dates for operating its new fleet of
nine new cargo-pasSenger liners to
South American ports.
The line lost three Of its well-re-
membered vessels in war service
the Santa Lucia, Santa Elena and
Santa Clara-while the two remain

overseas-the Santa Rosa and Santa
Paula. The surviving Santas are
scheduled to appear on cruise lanes
to the north coast of South Amer

converted, reconditioned and redec-
grated.
The new cargo-passenger ships,
with the interiors arranged and deco

rooms will be air-conditioned.
Planes now link mainland cities
with prewar tourist meccas OF the
East Coast that are not yet served
by ships, or have such service that
none but the hardest of travellers
would attempt to use. Havana, for
instance, has no passenger service
by sea, although airliners fly there
on regular schedule. Male pas
sengers can sail for the east coast
of South America If lucky enough
to wangle one of the few berths.
Puerto Rico is visited by freighers,
with the present prospect of reser-

Royal Netherlands vessels sails
about once month for Trinidad.
In addition to air service by Pan
American and British Overseas Air
ways, Bermuda can be reached by
three ships. Britain's Furness Line
runs two-the Fort Amherst and the
Fort Observation-Disclosures a far
cry from the prewar glamour ships
Monarch and Queen of Bermuda,
which are scheduled eventually to
return to the New York Bermuda
run. The other liner is the Alcoa
Lines George Washington. which
is still somewhat worse for wear and
looks because of its war service. 1t
enters the run this month as a stop
gap" service until better ship can
be supplied. 1t has n passenger
berths and sails fortnightly. Each
of the Fort" ships has accommoda-

In its reconverSion to the happy
peacetime pursuit of providing a
restful bit of life at the English
pace, against a backdrop of blue
sea and coral sands, Bermuda al
ready has enough hotels and guest
houses available for 600 visitors. It
Is estimated that facilities will be
open shortly for 1000 at one time.
It's quietude still disturbed by
military hustle, Bermuda's postwar
efforts are concentrated on cleaning
house for old friends and new. To
keep its American guests informed
of guest facilities, the Bermuda
News Bureau recently surveyed the
better-known places open, and re-
ported these:
In the City of Hami1ton-the
American House, Ell Morocco, the
Everest, the Imperial and the New
Windsor.
In Observation-Disclosures Hotel,
Oxford House and Waterloo House.
In the town of st. George-Cedar

Parish-Harrington House.
In Paget-Bell Aire and the Hori-
IONS. In Warwick-Belmont Manor
and Glendon. In Southampton
the Rowley's. In Somerset-Cam-
bridge-Beaches and Summerside.
Among the better-known cafes
and such gathering spots welcoming
postwar visitors are the Ace of
Clubs and the 81 Club, redecorated
at their Front street locations;
Claudia Darrell's Waterloo Inn, in
Warwick; the Plantation Club.
Swizzle Inn and Tom Moore's House,
in Hamilton Parish; Ye Olde White
Horse Inn in st. Georges and the
Cave1lo Grill in Somerset.
PreWar visitors who remember the
orchestra entertainment troupe, the
five rowing Talbot brothers of Tuck
