The cabins are small with two bunks. The walls are only lineii, and the doors cotton print, The floors are thin veneer and give under your feet. The cooking, of course, is .electrical, as no matches or fire of any kind is allowed. Before going up they ask- ed if we had any matches or pipe lighters. The tower is 200 feet, high, and we went up in an elevator and outon a balcony that runs round the top., There is a 'little wooden stairway to climb right up on to the gangway that is let down ,from . the nose of the ship. 'Once inside we walked down a long narrow walk with gasbags on either side, kept off 'by strong netting. We came to the crew's quarters first. From there we could look down into the navigation gondola.'.
