Thursday, Nov. 13, 1930 Dear W: You’ve probably heard that it's the thing to do to get up and “see the sun rise over the Rock of Gibraltar."' It sounds romantic. but don't ever try it. We did. With our constantly changing time we miscslculeted the hour of sunrise and stumbled heroie. ally up onto the boat deck in what) might have been the middle of the night, I believe it was. It wee It least two hours before the slightest tinge of my showed us which way the east was. We stood around shiv- ering. the men gallantly making re- peated trips below for steamer rugs all of us keeping our eyes fixed on what we supposed might sometime turn out to be the Rock. We tried to pretend We were glsd we'd come until all at once it struck us funny end from being very solemn and purpose- ful we' became hysterical. Before the sun rose we had to go down to break- fast. We had an interesting morning in Gilbraltar, riding around the town, going through the English fortiflet" tions, and buying duty-free Egyptian cigarettes and French perfumes. The next night out we had a young people's or "infant's" dinner. It was great fun. The orchestra, unrestrain- ed, let loose its best jazz and as the buat was rolling a bit, dancing was exciting. Yesterday’ we were at Algiers. As the "Columbus" was the largest boat that had ever docked there it was very dimeult and took two hours. Cables began breaking, Frenchmen shrieking, and in the midst of it all our calm and reassuring captain and cruise stat! moved about spreading oil on the waters fUturatively speak- ine, Though we were two hours late in landing the cruise staff, by good management, changed all of our ar- rangements so that none of the sight- seeing was lost. Algiers is an interesting place. A "little Paris” it is often called, but that seems to me to call attention to the things that it hasn't and make you overlook the things which it has -the interesting Eastern or Arabian flavor.

"To the people of China, inertia:- lnte victims of the world's neglect." This dedication of Hellet Abend's book "Tortured China" gives its key- note. Mr. Abend wee for e number of yeers correspondent for the "N. Y. Times" in Chine, end so feerleesly did he fulfill his position that the Neng king Government lest'yeer esked that he be removed. The Americen Gov- ernment investigating the cherges brought egeinst him could find no grounds for them, end the "Timers" removed their other representative, putting Mr. Ahend in sole cherge.
