complete her cargo with approxi
mately two thouaml five hundred
bags* of coffee beans for France. We
crossed from Cuba to Haiti a week
ago.
The first port in Haiti was Jac-
mel which is considered to be a very
difficult anchorage. The water is so
deep that a ship can only anchor
over the top of a sunken mountain
200 feet below the surface. The first
time they tried it they missed the
place and the anchor was just dang
ling in the water at the end of 250
feet -of chain. On the second time
the anchor caught, but the ship .was
too close tto shore, When she swung
around with the tide the stern went
aground on a mud-bank about three
hundred hundred from the beach.
By filling all the ballast tank in
the bow of the ship, they managed
to float the stern off the mud bank.
Jacmel is on the south side of
Haiti, Port Au Prince on the extreme
west end in a horse-shoe shaped bay.
We came, all the way back past Port
Au Prince and around to
Groave and Gonaives on the
side of the island.
This afternoon we came
Gonaives back to Port Au Prince and
are now anchored in the bay just
off the town. We didn’t get in un
til 10 p.m. and we can’t get along
side the wharf until tomorrow morn
ing at 6 o'clock.
We are taking on water supply
here, calling at three more ports on
the northeast coast of Haiti. Then back across ^the Atlantic to Harve,
France. We are going by the Azores
instead of the north way to pick up
coal. They are afraid that we
might run short otherwise. That cer
tainly would be a calamity.
Cape Patience, one of the ports
after here, is the place where the
Sabor, sister ship of this one, went
aground. I certainly hope that we
don’t. Not with a fully loaded ship.,
We also pass the site of the ruins

Gonaives, Haiti
October 31, 1938
Dear Folks,—
By t-hjs time you will be wonder
ing what has happened to me.
It is quite a while since I wrote
from Kingston. This is the first
Port that we have been able to post
letter from since then. As a matter
of fact it is the first port of call
since Kingston that we have tied up
at a wharf. When we left Kingston,
Jamaica we called at Sav ‘La Mar on
the opposite side of the island from
Kingston. There is no harbour there
and the ship was anchored three
miles out at sea.
to get
reefs,
see the
water,
bit rough vr stormy they had to pull
up the anchor and go out into deep
water to prevent the ship from hit
ting the bottom.
Between the steam winches break
ing down and refusing to go, and
having to pull up the anchor and go
outside the reef every half clay or
so, it was six days before all the
cargo was unloaded.
I had a new job there, and have
had ever since in port. I have been
tallying either out-going or in-com
ing cargo and acquired the best tan
I ever had, doing it. The unload
ing cf the 'Sav 'La Mar cargo was the
last of the load we brought out.
The ship had been .chartered from
the Royal Mails Lines by some Com
pany in New York to take six thou
sand tons of sugar from two Cuban
ports to either London or Antwerp.
From Sav La Mar, Jamaica, the
ship sailed for Tunas de Zarza on
the southern 'Cuban coast to get
three thousand tons of cane sugar
There was no village lor town,
just a sugar plantation. The sugar
was towed aut on huge barges or
lighters to the ship.
The ’Cubans had rather .strange
working hours, from six a.m. to 10
a.m. and from 12 noon to 3 p.m.
That ended their work for the day.
I was supposed to get approxi
mately 50c an hour overtime for
anything over eight hours I usually
work at sea, when tallying cargo.
Unfortunately I only got four hours
overtime over all the places we have
been since we left Kingston.
The next place on the Cuban coast
Jucaro, was worst of all. It was
very hot during the day, and altho’
we wefe anchored ten miles from
the place the mosquitoes were ter
rible at night. They came from the
hundreds of little islands which pre
vented us from getting any closer to
shore.
