The following, is a : part of Miss Howell's letter: "Dear Friends. --'Hav- ing enjoyed a most pleasant trip and finding the Landof the Humming Bird very comfortable and beautiful, I want to tell you how glad I am to be privileged"to take a position here. I have written down a little about my journey and will pass it on to any of you ,who, care to hear about it, As I have begun teaching, my time is pret- ty well taken up, so I hope you will accept this as a personal letter to each of you. Anthea' time I will tell you more about Trinidad. On account of the voyage from Halifax to Boston being stormy the ship was fate arriv- ing, and leaving Boston, we set sail at 6 p.m, March 5th. for a twelve day trip to Trinidad, British' West Indies. On the way to Bermuda we got to know a little about the ship and each other. I was fortunate enough to meet a charming girl whose home is in Trinidad and .had been visiting in Canada. Through her ' I met two ladies, one from Ottawa; the other from •;viontreal. They, and we girls, soon became sofriendly, e "at n th n a Yr little while we were known to those on board as 'the family.' Making new friends is one of the great joys of travelling. At Bermuda we hired a carriage for there are nb cars on the island, We drove along the roads where there were many pretty cot- tages, with white roofs for catching rain water, and we passed well kept estates with beautiful grounds. Ber- muda is semi -tropical, and, the planets and flowering shrubs and trees were new to nue, and very interesting. Since it rained we did not go to the Crys- tal Caves, but -others reported that they were very beautiful and curious. The wealther in Bermuda has ,been very cold and clamp this year, and consequently the gardens have not re- ceived as much attention as some years. Inplaces h the dead grass made us think of auttimtt, but the sweet songs of birds and the brilliant flow- ers spoke of summer time. .While sailed from Bermuda to the West In- dies those on board got much better acquainted. Many had left us at Ber- tinnda and, the rest began funding 'out people whoknew friends in conmmon. The officers, on board ' proved very friendly and did much to make the trip enjoyable. At St. Kitt's we stop- ped for a few hours after sundown. Many of these islands have no ,good wharfs, so the .boat anchors about a quarter of a mile from shore and small rowboats, launches and barges talo passengers and freight ashore. It is a picture to 'see the lanterns on the boats glimmering over the water. then the boats gathering near, them tate passengers descending the set of steps that is lowered at the side of the ship; the new ones arriving—many of them of a very different type. One old lady was done tap in the colors of the rainbow. She had a very brilliant piece of cloth draped over her head, and 'she exhibited a richly embroid- ered skirt under aft overskirt o.f natty colors. A very important duskyof, icer came on board and directed traf- fic in the water. He is a character. During the night we Passed on to Nevis and in the morning landed at Antigua. There the small boys caine out in small boats and dived, for pennies. Sometiines half a dozen would enter the water at once, If all' the islands were like Antigua they would be, desolate and almost - 'hope- less. Yet at one time there was a large English population, Along the road one meets many donkeys carry- ing burdens, Sometimes a man is seen riding While his wife walks, The .wo- men carry large, baskets on their ;heads without any support. The lit- tle children run out with hands open for money. Some sell beads and mats tirade from the seeds of native fruits. When we were about 8 miles from the wharf, our car had engine trouble, and we 'feared we would miss the boat. However,•, the driver ph'oae' for another car and he got us there. The roads are very curving and' Ire honked the horn most of tine way to clear the road of ox carts, donkey carts and pedestrians. One would' hake thought nue were being taken by police, or going to a fire. We laugh when we look 'back a't it. We arrived at Barbados on Sunday and 'I went to church with the lady who had been so kind to :nie all along. We wor- shipped at the Anglican Cathedral. The whole service showed forth the realityof the brotherhood of man- • kind. The little boys and girls who came were neat and clean, The or- ganist pl'ayed the pipe organ well. The choir composed of both white and colored boys sang very sweetly_, The service was about living out our creed.. 'We passed the drays on boaal.d till weisit v.ed S.Vincent, t Grenada and on the morning of arch 1.7th" landed at Trinidad. The ladies who met me wore bright, sunny faces and I find that that'is a common charact- eristic of the Canadians, in the , :mis- sion here. They are a delightfh9 group and.' enjoy living among ,them, MyhoMe at present is with the Rev. Mr, and Mrs. VM'sDonaisi, When one of the teachers leaves for Canada in a month's time, 1 shall be in 'a. cottage quite near the high s'c'hool on San Fs,rna'nd'o Hill. This hill is 'built some diista,uxe tip and the city of about' twelve; thousand is all around it,. The mission property was as high 09 as there- are any buildings and the rest is wooded and steep. The school girls seem no different'from (Canadian girls except that they ar.e brown skin- ned and though theyys'peak' the 'same tongue they have aware of ati Eimglls7t accent than Canadi<vtn.
