cred with strange and perhaps
fussy people.
It was a far cry from going into
a travel agency and buying a
''packaged" trip, replete with
every element of o perfect
holiday.
| It devolved on the prospective
traveller to ferret out from the
hundreds of lines or tramp
steamers the several that had
the most appealing routes. work
out sailing dates and payment,
and get a clear picture Of just
what kind of life he could lead
aboard. 1t would be informal
that for sure.
Relatively few pushed the
arrangements to completion and
actually sailed.
Sailings Uncertain
There were several other han
dicaps. The spasmodic sailings
were particularly hard on those
who had a limited amount of
time. For cargo dictated the
course and timing Of the ships,
sailings would be moved up or
postponed on q few hours notice
and there was no assurance the
trips would be completed within
the travellers allotted vacation
days, A port particularly de-
sired might be missed by hum
dreds Of miles, owing to changed
cargo orders.
Such considerations as these
discouraged many a hopeful
lvoyager into reaching the con-
lclusion the game wasn't worth
the candle. And, deciding not
to 60, 1t took him years to erase
the disappointment of what he
missed. Lingering in the mind
were tantalizing thoughts of
drifting lazily from one exotic
port to another. Of the superb
food former voyagers recalled
and. above all, the fabulous
bargain.
After the war, the pent up
desire to travel and the shortage
of space on regular passenger
liners turned travellers by the
thousands into seeking q solu-
ton aboard a freighter. The war
had produced q vast feet of
modern cargo ships, mostly of
the type providing quarters for
IL extra people. Would-be
Ifreighter passengers stumbled
into priorities (rem e m b e +
themO; and later, when the
priority system eased. into the
fact that accommodations were
fully booked by people who had
applied earlier. The Johnnys-
come-lately were discouraged
from even getting q place on the
waiting lists.
Guide Available
They heard about land It
could well be through this
column) q booklet that listed
freight ships and routes around
the world and told how to 60
about cashing in on the low rates.
This Harlan publication. revised

able for 81 in q new issue of 100
pages. brought fulfillment to
many o freighter-voyage dream.
The booklet. Travel Routes
Around the World" still con-
tends that passenger-carrying
freighters are the secret Of low
cost travel. although increased
popularity and higher operating
costs have raised rates substan-
tally from prewar levels. And
even with this shipping bible"
at hand, 1t still takes some doing
to work out a trip. There is still
trouble about getting reserva-
tons, as ships generally are filled
well in advance; also, a lack Of
firmness in the sailing dates
and routes.

warships assigned as a station
and check point on the flight
route. Some years later. when
he was writing a weekly avia-
ton column for Golfers Maya
zine. Mr.. Nicely told how an
Italian plane tried to beat the
American flyers to New York,
but it was forced down and the
crew had to be rescued. The
story wasn't written at the time
of the incident because wit
nesses didn't want to offend
