This is the end of our first week and it has been one of the most enjoyable holidays we‘ve had at the Cape. The weather has been consistently hot, sometimes windy and hot, sometimes calm and hot, but gloriously hot. Not one spit of rain. Each night the stars have hung large and luminous over our tentâ€"site and the gentle young sliced moon throws a muted light over the pineâ€"forest in which we‘re camped and over the lake close by, where the bullâ€"frogs talk to themselves and drive Ken mad with the urge to sso out and collect them. Although he‘s no longer in the biological business, it‘s in his blood (like malaria) and breaks out from time to time, especially in places like Cape Cod, which is a biologist‘s mecca. Apart from the external weather, the family weather has been good too, all of us friendly and loving each other, the girls angelic and funny, Ken and I relaxed and happy, so that we shall go home with our family ties strengthened as well as sand in our shoes. This is how I always hope the holiday will be, but as other mums know, it doesn‘t always work out like that. Of course, I have contributed to the wholesome family fun by going my usual firered colour after the first two days in the sun, despite covering myself up and taking all the recommended precautions. I don‘t know why I can‘t tan glamorously like other people. First, I get very red and sore and so hot that when I wash myself, I steam. And the tent needs no heater even on a cool night because of the amount of heat radiating from me. Then the fireâ€"engine red fade®a little (at least, I don‘t steam any more) and turns a muddy brown which encourages me to think that I‘ve done it at last. But a day or so later, it begins to peel off, starting of course with my nose, and revealing the new pink skin underneath, ready to be burnt again. _ _ _ _ _ 20 . Diving over the keys and banks will be among the most exciting adventures for the coming generaâ€" tion. Many wrecks have been secâ€" retly preserved for them by the centuries. The giris are climbing over some interesting rocks a few yards away, completely absorbed in what they‘re doing; Julie‘s fine whiteâ€"blonde hair swings like a curtain over her face and she looks a typical sevenâ€"yearâ€"old, with four missing front teeth and skinny sparrow legs. She is wearing Joni‘s year before last red swimsuit, while Joni who couldn‘t care less what she wears, has a pale blue and rather expensive swimsuit this year, her perky bottom having forced her out of last year‘s swimsuit. At this rate, there is just enough difference and similarity in their growth that it looks as if Julie, who loves new clothes, will never have a new swimsuit until she‘s in high school. _ S _ But between the purely comâ€" mercial aspect of saivaging and the atmosphere of family holidays or social "parties" which have hitherto surrounded American research on the gold routes, there is room for more systematic fishing . . . We are camping in the best commercial camp area we‘ve found; even the name â€"Sweetwater Forest â€" is charming, but there are other more tangible delights. The fees are reasonable; for six of us for the first week and four for the second, plus rental of a pup tent for the two weeks, it has cost us $49. Whenever I think longingly ‘of renting a cottage on a beach down here, I remember that the cottage would cost us at least $200 for the same period. The "comfort stations" are very clean, and there is hot water for showers and cooking ; there are electrical outlets for ironing or razors, and the toilet paper is not made of compressed cardboard and sandpaper. Each site is camouflaged by trees and sits on a sandy base and the fauna seems confined to chipmunks and enormous ants, but nothing sinister that goes bump in the night and makes away with our goodies, as has happened on two previous.camping holidays at the Cape. Mail, if any, is delivered to your site, ice is sold on the honour system (if you don‘t have change, pay next time), there are teen dances and marshmallow roasts twice a week and pets are welcome, if kept under control (I‘m so glad we didn‘t bring Hopkins, the skunk). The only rule imposed by the owners is the Golden Rule. We shall certainly come back to Sweetâ€" water and Ken is talking of making reservations for next summer when we leave this week, if we have enough money left to make a deposit. We heard from the camp grapevine that there‘s another family from Aurora here, but we haven‘t met them. Home seems a long way and a long time away and I haven‘t even worried about the cockroaches since I got here; if they are getting out of hand and silently gnawing through the refrigerator, well, good luck to ‘em. I‘ll deal with the varmints when I come back from paradise. These adventures will take place in lands that offer the greatest excitement for the imaginationâ€"in those islands where Columbus first touched the New World in those regions, idyllic at first and later infernal, which the Spaniards sysâ€" tematically plundered, . . . But also among the purest waves, on islets or reefs or immense outâ€" croppings touched with white foam, over depths where the single word "coval" â€" scientifically inaccurate, ._ _ If I‘m not in paradise, don‘t bother to tell me â€" this is zfiqh-turfibnublfituulkmw.lamsitfingwithatyx- mhrumhm&.tfiudvich&nchin ape Cod.

Elsewhere in the world, the Mediterranean for example, ships laden with gold were only the exâ€" ception. Elsewhere, along inhabitâ€" ed coasts, wrecks of easy access have long since been ransacked and the others are silted up. Elsewhere, underwater work is only a common laborer‘s job in a fog of mud. Here, on the contrary, is acâ€" cumulated all the magic of adâ€" venture and Nature. The richest ships ran aground in shallows that are among the least known regions of the world. They have not sunk a second time into the mud. They swim in a crystal light. The coral concretions cover the wrecks so quickly that they are saved from falling to pieces and enclosed in a shell which has only to be broken to reveal a Treasure," by Pierre de Latil and Jean Rivoire.
