I OUR TRIP TO PANAMA 3
By Mr P Walsh 3
The American Bankers asso
ciation fleet to Panama charter
ed by the New York Central Rail
road company consisted of four
ships of the United States Fruit
company of Bcston the Oarillo
Tivivcs Sixaola and lloradio re
cently built at Belfast Ireland
This was their maiden voyage We
started from New Orleans No
vember 25 at noon sailing down
the MiLsaayppi river to its mouth
a distance of 110 miles passing
many points of scenic and his
toric interest Then followed a
delightful run across the Gulf of
Mexico a distance of about 500
miles until Cape San Antonio
Cuba was sighted at about noon
on Monday the 27th when the
steamers entered the Caribbean
Sen continuing a southeasterly
course The only land we saw
after sighting the above named
Cuban point was an island em
bracing about 1014 square miles
called Old Providenee said to
have been the rendezvous of the
buccaneers Morgan and Drake
when engaged in piracy on the
high scias The island has about
1400 inhabitants fresh water a
harbor and a small river
We would have been pleased
had it been possible to have vis
ited Cuba and some of the islands
of the sea many miles to the east
metre obscure but wonderful lit
tle inlands known as the Lesser
AniiiiMes Among them might be
named AnquaiGuadailOupc Dom
mrca Martinique Barbadocs and
Grenada But we were not so
fortunate as to do so These are
the islands Avrrah a century or so
ago Ave re looked upon as the rich
est in the world and over the
possession of wihoeh fierce wars
were waged On these islands
were bom such celebrities as Al
exander Hamilton and the Empress-
Josephine George Wash
ington is said to have visited
them And from them came the
highest western civilization of
TEMPERATURE i these times Every inch of land
a reliable was then cultivated and the
the house and also gra sugar estates brpught vast
The inside to their owners m England
and elsewhere mit now every
thing a changed Those who
have visited them recently say
the climate is the finest in the
world tropical vegetation still
covers the valleys and mountains
but the gardens of Martinique
are overgrown the can fcilds
have turned back into jungles
the great homes are crumbling
and the people are desperately
rpoor It is
claimed this change
Avas caused by the free dean of
the slaves and our tariff en their

consecutive nights wig wagging

by way of diversion a little sea

flying fish an occasional sea gull
and a icav porpolise jumping out
of the water But water Ave saAV

day and night With me it aroius

again saw the Stars and Stripes

Avhile in the canal zone is not an
American port being excluded
