Eagle's View of Rio for Cruise Members Mot flying nor rolling down to II Rio but leisurely sailing there aboard a luxury liner will go a happy crowd of winter cruise"tour- lste next January when the Can- adian Pacific liner Empress of Australia heads south from New York January 15 on a West In- dies and South America cruise, The glamorous Latin city that was named Rio de Janeiro be- cause ecause its harbor was discovered In the month of January and mis- taken for the moutli of a river claims` that the harbor is the world's most'beautiful. Certainly other ports would have to show much to rival this claim, and there is hardly a doubt that the Empress of Australia's cruise pas- sengers will return confirmed "Rio fans." From the heights of the lofty Corcovado, a mountain peak on which stands a huge figure of Christ, and from the summit of Pao d'Assucar, the famed "Sugar Loaf," members of shore excur- sions will have an eagle's eye view of the city and harbor. Tlirilling in itself Is the ascent of the Sugar Loaf by aerial cable - ear in two 'rides, first to the half- way -dation on Penedo de Urea, then to the "summit of the conical Sugar Loaf itself. Besides these two excursions there are other trips arranged for the five-day visit. The lovely mountainous region of T.ijuea and the mountain residential section of Petropolis will be the objects of excursions and each evening there will be a party excursion to enjoy the exotic night -life. Rio is not the only port of call on this cruise. Barbados, Grenada and Jamaica are islands that will be visited during the 32 day trip, while on the mainland of South America, La Guaira, Venezuela. will share with Rio the attentions of the Empress of Australia's passengers who will be back In New York on February 17. Pictured above are the Theatro Municipal at Rio, a view of Bota- fogo Bay from the Cot'covado showing the Sugar Loaf; the ca- ble -car ascending the latter, and the Empress or Australia, the cruise ship that will visit Rio. A HARD PULL On the enol Of Long Wharf sat Cap- tain Holcombe. Nate Ryder, Peter Simpson and Little Abner. The wharf, gray and shaky with age, stretched out from the grassy bank, over •tile pebble !beach, out into the blue tide, like a long arm of the small town, ready to grasp from the 'broad water- way whatever of life and •industry came within its reach. It caught but little nowadays. Now .and then an oc- casional coaster took on a load of ice or .fish :or dumber. Between times Beachport went to sleep and dreamed of her former !prosperity. Captain IHolcom'be's weather-beaten face had smiled through a 'bong life voyage.

"The 'Byron IP. !Thorne' will have a good chance out to -night," remarked Peter, ,languidly letting Itis eyes wan- der over the !bay to the horizon -line.

RATISBON The oratorical repertory of every school boy probably includes Brown- ing's ,poem ,beginning: You. know, we French stormed IR'atisbon. The reader of memoirs, 'however, ,par- tictelarly those of !General Marbot, realizes that IRatisboh, battle -ground though it was, had its humorous aspect and was not ,all tragedy. Mar - bot says: It was ,first at Ratisbon that the only when the emperor 'hims'elf had pinned the decoration on 'his breast, and he seemed infinitely more satis- fied with that than with his gift of twelve hundred francs. "Then 'you count as nothing the seven wounds that I :received at Ar- cola, at Lodi, at. 'Castiglione, at the Pyramids, at St. Jean •d' Acre, at Austerlitz, at ,Friedland!
