We arrived in Ntilan in a teeml,'
ing rain—the first we had. 'en-,
c•ot}ntered apart *from • a light
sprinkle the first day on the bus.
From Milan to Mollie' was , by
train, Special couches had been
assured, but, typical we were
told of Italian disorder, they
had been provided the' day be-
fore. So. it was ,grab . a seat as
best, you could, and eight of us.
got into a, second-class eom-
partment, the last vacant one on
that coach. The windows had
been open, We . presumed, •during
the night \before rain and the
upholstered seats and floor were
wet, and the.. cotiipartment gen-
erally pretty greasy—so much so
that the ladies put on their
rubbers and gloves and the
men's top coats were- laid out ori
the seats.' Our cornpartment was
at the • end of the coach, next
to the. lavatory: We hoped .it was
ram . on the ,floor.

There are no baggage: cars on
the Italian trains.. Ouu luggage
was ,piled in :the single aisle that
runs along the side of the •coach.,

tinent and Italy is no exception.
They swarmed onto 'the train in
droves, and • with seats • finally
all taken,: the .native population'
used our bags .as seats. It was
almost' impossible to get through,
the coach.. One personwho. did
push .their way through ' to the
"facilities" found , it was a /lost

possession as : the' 'one and only
;place to find- a _:seat.
