remained in the car until called upon

in September while he was awaiting

West Indies Cruise of Recaptured Adventure ,
Tile icJit olvrROYt+I „
'Cour hundred years of strife with
piracy and rioting are encom-
passed in the history of the islands
of the Spanish Main, For all these
bright islands are monuments of
the days of conquest of explorers
and pirates. The West Indies mirror
the world in miniature or the way
of the world, and one sees them
today lying peaceful under tropical
skies.
A modern voyage of re -discovery
is no longer a matter of years or even
months as is emphasized by the
schedule of the proposed cruises to
this region of romance by the
Canadian Pacific liner Montroyal
which sails from New York on Janu-
ary 26 and February 29, each re-
turning in 29 days.
Judging by the popularity of
these cruises, the West Indies are
still as tempting as they were to
Columbus, Ponce de Leon Drake,
Cortes, Hawkins and a 'hundred
others. Although there remain
today no pirates, no rich galleons
to sack, few buried treasures to seek,
there still remains the bracing air on

silver seas, the beauties of cora
islands, and of tropical life and many
evidences of a historic past. Even
in the matter of buried treasure
everyone would like to surprise the
world as did Lieut. George Williams
who found amid some old ruins of
Panama last year, by means of a
violet ray detecting instrument, a
treasure worth $50,000. This mass
of gold and jewels was unearthed
on the site of San Jose Church
which was destroyed in 1671 by
pirates under Sir Henry Morgan....
Every spot on the west Indies
cruises offers living testimony of a
connection with the Old World.

little bit of Holland in the Carib-

rested and whence Ponce de Leon
set forth to find the Fountain of
Youth; Nassau, in the Bahamas,
with its coral formations and sea
gardens and Bermuda, the "Isle of
the Blest". Such names as these
recall exciting days of the past and
