Iwent to bed very, very -tired. That visit was; interesting and wits an excellerih exucation. I.iy whole time was taken up going :around to'see the various .places of in- terest, and some of them required some time. • ,, I stayed at the Y,M,C;A„ about half an hour's walls: from .Charing Cross Station, where all :soldiers and sailors pare made welcome. Large dormitories are provided for sleeping accommodation with bunks one on top of the other. Breakfast is also available, .and this is given for one shilling and sixpence, ;which is very reason- able, We arrived about 6 o'clock at night, so did not go ,out that night, as it was, dark 'by the time we had our supper, and there is no use going out to see London at night, as it remain£ in com- plete darkness. The 'next morn- ing was spent in riding on the top of penny busses, sightseeing. In the. afternoon the Tower of London was visited. Soldiers are ,admitted free, and the :guards took us through and explained everything, which reminds one of the history studied 'when at school (don't laugh, it"a not ;French). First, there is the Bloody Tower, where all sorts of notable people were confined for execution. There the two princes were moth- ered to death. This was. all ex- plained. Next we went to seethe crown jewels; they are ma:gnifi'. cent Of course they are 4vellpro- tected with iron gratings and guards. Talk about diamonds` pearls, rubies and gold- t ''he .crown studded with diamonds and Precious stones, is beanti£u1.• The armories were then visited and all sort4 of armor from the 16th Century up W the present, was df preyed, (Figure, sitting on dummy horses! with both horses and men armored, May he seen, and A old cannon of every descrip— tion, some with marvellous chrt•- ing all over them, up to the mod-, ern gun on whi^h the 'body of the (ate King Edward, was conveyea. Then there is they St. John's capol where many noted olden , timers w ere marrieds, and worshipped. Underneath, prisoners were con- fined and beheaded. The block and axe are, to be :seen, as well as the dungeon, There axe some very reniarkalble design'/ carved on the ',valla and etone floor, by prisoners. Of course this took the greater' part of the afternoon but welled pelf an hoer to go to ( London Bridge and look up and down the Thames River. The of-] tr,.rnoon was finished 'by riding home in the Tube, , 'seventy feet under ground, several miles for sixpence, and the, cats travel like "sixty?'
