We .expect to arrive in Antwerp a on friday night and will get on our feet on terra firnla,:the neat morning, Since we got the last sight of the south 'coast of New- fouudlaud on the third day out there lids been nothing to see outside the people and the ship, but a vast waste of water and broad expanse of eky, The water at times has been cairn, with only a lightswell, at others, choppy, then terming' into long un- dulating waves like rolling farm land, By way of variety, however, Tntesday night, and Wednesday morning we experienced what .we considered real rough weather,: but the sailors, of coarse, said it was on- l* a light blow,ahid by way of Conso- lation to those who were still 'sea sick, they said it would be a whole lot •worse 4n a, few hours.. That, however, was not the. caseas it calved down about noon in,, a re- markably short time and all was pleasant again.: ' The choppy seae encountered on the south and east of Newfoundland were responsible for putting a good many of the passengers off their feet and feed, some of them for most of the voyage and others for only a day or two, while others were bowl- ed over *hen the boat took the long side dips on the nose, dives. .About SO per' cent of the passengers were More or less -i11 at times. Most of them were • •well before the rough weather arrived and except for the fact that the cabins were close and stuffy With the Port holes closed, making sleeping not restful, every- one 'enjoyed the rough. sea. Of the Exeter party, Mrs. Skelton and Mrs Stewart were the only ones who had occasion to seek their cabins to `find ease from the'illness • caused by the roll and dip of the ship, 'and they, only,for a clay. :Mrs. Heaman'put up an heroic fight, and while her smile. was forced at times, :she managed to keep Up and never missed a meal. Your friends, the editors, Southcott and Creech, kept .their heads.: above frown Or light anal at -water, but z a g times indicated I that they at least knew -that the old ship was experi encing something- else ,,besides a smooth sea, and they both looked and felt groggy at i tines. Mrs. Creech alone, seemed to feel no ill effects,from the tilos. She was -reg- ularly and promptly 'tat the table and always on deck during the wak- ing hours. Luckily for her, she knew •enongli to refrain from chaf- fing the others of the party when they did not feel in the humor to accept it with' good ' grace. Mrs. French., too, seemed to be quite alive all tlhe time; while Mr. French look- anything but ploasant., on occasions. From the poihit of; temperature, the weather was all that one could expect. Off the coast of Newfovncl- land the north wind was chilly and sitting on, deck was not a pleasant occupation. Ear thee out, however, the Weather was more pleasant,' ex- cept when the sky was overcast with. clouds and the wind was strong. Sometimes a sweater and overcoat were in 'order, while at 'other times one could *ark or sit or lie on the ',open detk on the' prow without wraps in comfort. Time' sometimes drags a little on board, but in a general way, for those active, restless souls, there is plenty of play in the way of „ring kris, _ shuttleboard, checkers; chess; cards and dancing. An excellent concert was given on Tuesday night. and progressive bridge on Wednes- day afternoon.

Perhaps a little description of the boat might be of interest to some of our readers. Imagine, if you can, almost; the combined ?o ulitron of Exeter and Iensall, aboard a single ocean liner, , to be fed,provided with sleeping g gliatilts and for• ten ll days; -cu off from all. sources of-su sup- ply, t 1 ply demandin the very best of :ev- erything and you have -some idea of of the problem which confronts the ship owners. The S.S. "Melita" is a O.P.R. boat 14, 0 a of 0 0 tonnage. e. It has 'a econndoiro i for 2145 14J persons divided as follows487 first class } s passengers, 13 0 8 third class and a crew of 350.. The first class cabin's are all filled and inanyof -the third and altogetherthere-are a Uou't 1800 persons aboard. Among the passen- gers'are a number of Americans ,who are attracted by the splendid trip down the St, Lawrence. The Melita is not one of the lzrge C.P. liners, but is among the steadiest and rides well in a heavy gale. The large C. P. liners' will accommodate many more persons. Ever since coming aboard we have been anxious to visit the engine room and other parts of this floating palace. We were advised to leave this part of the trip until we had be- come used to. the boat, as the odor might upset the appetite. Yesterday we`had the opportunity and in com- pany with an officer, eight of us were taken to the lookout deck or Cap- tain's cabin, where we saw the wheelsmau' at work, the various in- struments and charts, all of which were most 'interesting. From there we descended pito the bowels of the boat and viewed the big engines.c There are three engines driving three propellers. The main shafts are al- most a foot and a half in diameter and extend.,nearly half way through the boat. There were a few spookey corners and one had to go carefully at times. The maclhind'ry is -all kept bright and 'shining. The bottom ten feet of the ship is where the drink- ing water used on the trip is stored. There are several compartments' and the water is shifted to act as ballast. An emergent Machine is installed "to convert the salt water to freshwater. The next visit was to the huge boilers and it was here that wog real ized that while many were enjoying the pleasures. of the voyage, there were those below, who were stripped to their shirtsleeves, with the sweat upon their brow. These men shov- elled the' coal into the yawning mouths of the' furnaces. Just for curiosity, we added a aliovelfull to the flames. The men are on duty' for four hours at a stretch. One of the pleasant ,surprises however, was the excellent ventilating systeln, the air being forced by large g £ •an ' s. After being ,aboard foe several days, it became -a matter of interest just to know where the fresh milk Came from to accommodate such a large passenger list. We were .soon to find out as we :Were S ..ho wn •. the artificial refrigeration system, There are several compartments : and the temperature varies to suit the provi- sions to be preserved. • The milk is kept iii one and the nikner of cans necessary to hold the supply was quite amazing; meats are kept in an- other, vegetables in another etc., arid when taken out are in' perfect aoih dition; A small printshop on board prints the menus-, notices and a daily news bulletin by luarconigram. While •the news is limited, yet in' this case we know that no news is good .news. - Leaving the printshop we visited. the kitchen and surprise is added 'to surprise as we see the manner in which the wants of the inner man are provided for; the large bake ov- ens where all the bread and: pastries` used aboard are baked; the huge soup kettles and the system of hand- ling etc. The passengers are served at two sittings in tee first and third, class dining saloons. Going to the upper deck the cap- tain operated the davits for lowering the .life -boats. Life -boats more than ample to carry themaximum num- ber of persons on board are provided. Everything from top to 'bottom is periodically inspected. Our final trip of inspection was to the wireless operating room. Three operators take eight hour shifts, one being on dirty at all times.' Messages are received and transmitted at rea- sonable rates. Friday, June 20, 1924, After a delightful trip up the Eng•- lish Channel. our first stop ;after be- ing aboard the - "1Vtelita" for .eight days, was at Cberboourg, "France. The boat anchored in the beautiful. harbor and a tender Caine out to take ,off the passengers, a number of wlhoni were - going to Paris. After what seemed a boundless expanse of ocean bine, it was a welcome sight to behold the soil of Trance. The vil- lages that dotted the shore line and the neat farina were of absorbing in- terest. The 'fields or farms seemed divided by 'trees orshrubbery in- stead of fences. Stopping only about all hour our boat started across the channel for Southampton. On our right we pas- sect. the:, isle of Wight. From our first view,. it ;stood out as an impos- ing cliff .of white elialle; but as are proceeded, tho scenery became very interesting: • The - landscape • was rugged and it seemed as though the natural' beauty spats had been pick- ed os the Site for sonic village, city or estate, Many points of interest that 51011111 take too' much space 10 de aP were �oih ed out. , aal 1 s up the channel, was in tate evening, air was cool and fresh, yet the flags that hungat thetop o' the masts f i t t , p fell listlessly fol• want of a breeze, the 1110011 shone brightly and when theship docked at Southampton, at p tern -o'clock thelandscape was still �. plainly visible. '12'an ships f p y a y ii s all 1 kinds dotted the waters. As soon as we :cloaked, a number of the Cana- dian bowlers who are tourin the g,. k r tish Isles,P h oat l3 r came of hoard, d, to see friends, among them being James Grey, of London, Eddie Wetliiufer, of Kitchener,. J.ims 'Waterloo S , of W x o and Nate Cornw it of Til me 'll a, a svk e, all of .whom are familiar opponents of 'the ' Exeter bowlers who attend the tournaments in Western Ontario. Mr. Grey ,Ywere reported that' 'the P having a whale of a time and being treated like princes., and in the bowl- ing line 'these ' bo s' are of royal l blood. That afternoonandevening evenzk g they- had played in Southampton, the evening games being on a g 'reen that was 700 years old. Unfortunately,• this is the only time ; we- expect to meet them as they are about a week ahead of us all along the line of places visited. However, we hope to have a game in, two or three places, as Messrs. Gray and Cornwall said they would pave the way for us in Torquay and • Glascow at least. The passengers were, not. -allowed to land until next morning and: the whole press party', were given an hour and a half's drive through Southampton and the- rural district surrounding the city. Needless to say, after the nine days'•on board, the : trip was thoroughly enjoyed. The • `rural scenery in . Ehgland is wonderful and this break coming as it dict was doubly welcome. .We left: the, English port at 11 a.t_ m. on the 2 Oth and passing to -the north 'of the Isle of Wight, we saw Osborne House, the.home of Phe late Queen Victoria,the e forts guarding.' the harbor, Netley 'Marine Hospital, (3000 cots,-) Pey'tsmouth and Spit - head, a noted fleet manoeuvring point. It is 16 hours to• Antwerp, where we arrive to -Right and on Sat- urday we start on: the Belgain and French- trip, which. takeseight days, The -Burgomaster and prominent cit izens of Antwerp, will breakfast' on board the liner with lis, the occasion being' made a form of welcome to the press party.

This B team is sure must have been saving themselves fat...this game, as everyone on the team turned in a real snappy game. It seemed rather Bard for Main St. to realize that, they were' being 'defeat ed, and did not take it very kindly at the time, but, were soon feeling better again. It was a good game from start to finish, not one dull moment. R. Goulding pitelied for the 13 team and turned in a :fine ex- hibition, only allowing one ball to go to the out -field. The crowd was with 13 team and sure had lots of ex- citement. This game brought: the first half of the sa,htes to a close and has been enjoyed by everyone; „good crowds 'attending' every game. The fans as well as the players looked for those games night after night like their meals.' Three nights a weer, it was hurry honkie to tea, thein to the ball game.
