BERMUDA. (Continued from Page 17) Bven-in the senetomey of your Aweigh sea THT Hee dE THIRIYE In the dead of night you awaken and listen to a muffled roger, from the thunder of the South Shore breakers. The flash of a revolving light from Gibbs' Hill intermittingly appears upon your darkened wall, and in another minute that same flash is seen by passing ships twenty, thirty, forty miles to seaward. Recently I stood on a foreland and watched a 'Bluemose schooner beating in, between the reefs. The schooner looked to me lke a touch of home, but the steel cold blue of our wintry ofean was missing from the picture, her sails were sot against a softer background. To fly across the Bermudas is to behold their distinctive features brought out In sharpest contrast. As the aeroplane mounts upward one Is struck with what a tiny little world it really is, about twenty-five miles long, a mile or two in width. The roads, the rocks, the reefs, the beaches, all are of snowy white- ness, bearing witness to the coral basis of this enchanting realm. Looking down from the clouds, the isles and the seas appear to have they have become a cluster of ocean gems, of emerald, of pearl, of sap- phire and of opal. Secrets of the deep are open secrets off Bermuda, due to the trans lucent clearness of the water. The sunlight reaches many fathoms down beneath the surface, affording myriad glimpses of Neptune's gugrded kingdom. : I have heard many discussions as to alluring places worthy of Inspection. A famous goifer maintains that Tuckerstown is the finest elghteen-hole course in the world, accompanied by the finest prospect. Others might prefer the waster sweep from the tap of Gibbs' Hill lighthouse, a more commanding outlook than any other. If you are looking for ocean grandeur, go to the South Shore, surfy day, and watch the battle of the reefs and breakers. on a If you desire an aspect of calm and sheltered peace; take a glimpse at Hamilton in the moonlight, from across the Sound on the Warwick | shore. k There is one view to which I am ever returning. It is the prospect | from the plazza of the St. George hotel. Here the quaint, the lovely, | the venerable and the historic are blended into a sallor town of many | lights and shades. High and Ufted over all, on a. veritable citadel, is the St. George, | across the way from a twin citadel flies the garrison flag, while extensive | barracks and redoubts, apparent in every direction, betoken the long yr of Imperial England. The harbor, completely landlocked, with its dotted color scheme which painters have sought in vain to rival. Always in this quaint old port may be seen a touch of yarde and | beauty and romance were | islands, forms a yet afloat together. For long periods this Port of St. George's is sleeping, and neglected. | Then a hurricane, or bad weather, on the western ocean, brings in the | storm-birds, a steamer with coal-fever, or a vessel, leaking and dismested, limps to a summer sea, no kin it 'seems to that brother ocean, murderous | without. The Canaddan invasion of Bermuda is steadily increasing. Mr. Mor | gan, of Montreal, and Semator Curry, of Nova Scotia, both have winter homes here. Last season's visitors included E. W. Beatty, president of the Canadian Pacific, and D. B. Hanna, late president of the Canadian National, A great many of my Canadian friends tell me that they dread the sea trip. But even the poorest satlor may face this voyage with equanimity aboard one of the 14,000-ton boats of the Furness Bermuda Line. Mark Twain used to say * these islands are paradise, but you must paws through purgatory to get there." With modern lners like the Fort Victoria and the Fort St. George upon the route, purgatory has been turned to paradise, especially after the bar opens off the three-mile limit. 'For years Bermuda has been a Mecca for famous Amemcans. Here Woodrow Wilson came after election to the presidency, before assuming office. . Here William Howard Taft, Charles Evans Hughes and many another dominant figure of the Weshington stage have come for rest and recreation, } Mark Twat sod William Dean Howells, makers of American itera ture, foregathered here through many a winter season. Here James Gordon Bennett, of the New York Herald, used to evi dence a genius for yacht-racing, equal to his genius as a moulder of the press. Bennett could pull off stunts with a Bermuda rig dinghy as well as newspaper stunts like that of sending Stanley to find Livingstone. The Mudians are among the greatest bostmen ln the world. That's Why, I suppose, a Bermuda lad, telling me of all the big ones that had visited the island, put James Gordon Bennett top-dog on the lst. " But what about Taft and Wilson ?" I inquired. : "Bah," he exclaimed with contempt, "they are not in a class with Mothers' Council Meeting.
