Dcepened in that we dive back baclc, into tihe past. The, other day as we sat in thé Eephnt Caves- the best example of original Hindu art that 'we. have seen-tryin g tc feel the ages that have gone over sine heywee hewn'out of the rocks,- for a long time.ithere wa-sn't a sound-but the cooing of the pigeonis in the upper darknesses. Then ail at once there was the softpopf a native's feet ,as. he came, to draw water, at thé well. There was the splash of the bucket, the wel chain creaked just as -it probably bas for 2,000* years.

The lounge is crowded- *and one, advantage of such a big sbip is that -we can ail get 'in tbe lounge at once-:for cvery lecture. Then týhe: cruisé dirèctor, at the same time that he give-s us landing instructions, giv.es a. history of. the country in con- cise form, a:lso information 1about the chief ,induùstriesi imports and ex- ports, etc. It makes our travel de- cidedly more intelligent than it would * otherwise be. e i i [ into the old diversions-tennis, swhin- ming,. talking are our favorites,. and aIl the evenhig gaieties.
