Mlnmltt arrived in Mianti and re- mained till \Vednesctay. The Gulf Stream makes the climate moderate along the coast all year. At Miami Clifford saw the aquar- ium with specimen ,of many sleep sea fish alligators. and the 'big tuna fish. Miami has the best fishing fleet in the world, and there are also many plicate yachts it. the 'harbor. At the time a big sail -fish derby had just be- gun and every day a fleet of 200 fish- ing boats left 21ianti for the 'Gulf Stream. One evening the H1-11 Club war visited where the Spanish game of hi -l1 is played, the only place in the 11,1,5. This gntne somewhat re- sembles tennis, but is extremely fast. even faster than badminton. Several swims were enjoyed in the Atlantic at Miami Beach, seven miles from Miami. Thursday afternoon Clifford left by way of the Tamiami Trail, ,passing by the spot where a bus accident had oc- curred two days before when twenty people were drowned by the bus plunging into the canal One of the guests tabu had stayed at the same hotel with Clifford at Miami, •had lost his life in the accident. The T'amiaani Trail passes right through the Everglades. a 'Swampy jungle region. On the wale he saw thousands of flamingoes. big white birds similar to cranes, also sate the Seminole Indians in native dress and their huts and small villages. Reached Tampa in the evening and on Friday left for St. Petersburg, having a swine in the Gulf of Mexico and walked on the enormous millioin• dollar pier.d Returneto Tampa and saw the Great American Circus. which is win- tering these. At 1111:45 took the bus for Jacksonville. arriving in the early morning; then to Atlanta, 'Georgia, where he sate the State capitol build- ings of Georgia. On North, through the Stno'ky Mountains. arrived at Cincinnati on Saturday .where C0ifford sate the flood. At Covington, ;Kentucky, a change was made to a small bus to cross the 'lon'g bridge over the Ohio' river, which was still open to limited traffic. At both ends -of the bridge sand bags were piled to make it pos- sible to get on to the 'bridge. The rushing water was filled with +fl•oat- ing debris carried away by tete flood, even chains and other household fur- niture. The lower section of Cincin- nati near the river was ander water Up to the top cif the first storey; on some streets the ;signs with street names were just above water. The railroads were all ander water and train passengers had to cross in the e same manner as bus passengers. 3' .One citizen of the city told Clifford. he would willingly' pay 'a dollar for a p.m. 25c glass of good water. Food was 'also scarce. In some pants of the city, families could .be seen roaming the streets, carrying a few personal 'be- longings. The grins laces of the people that Clifford saw sho.wed the seriousness of the disaster. "I did not see a single smile or hear a law g .h in Cincinnati," Mr. Car- michael stated. All public 'buildings were crowded with refugees, even in the bus station. At that time police were "waging war" on sightseers and 'Clifford con- sidered hitnsalif lucky to have been able to pass through the centre of the flood area and see conditions at close range. lOn the trip north to Detroit, ev- erywhere relief contributions 'and help for the Red Cross were being given. In the theatres envelopes were passed out to everyone, asking to give all you could. After seeing the situation one could not help giving something to aid tete desperate need of flood vic- tims, +Resting during Sunday in Detroit, 'Clifford returned home Feb. 1'st. after travelling approximately 4,000 miles, passing through fifteen States, almost the entire trip 'being 'by bus. Mr. Clifford Carmichael itas been very successfully conducting a mail business for the last two years and the trip was a combination of 'busi- ness and pleasure. A few things impressing a visitor to Florida were the cleanliness of the cities and the absence of flies and other insects; that there are no ban- ana trees in 'Florida: the Southern drawl of the citizens; and the free parking for overcoats of northerners, provided, by the Jacksonville hotels, until needed on the way Worth again.
