"IChinese Prince" between Penang, Malaya, and Colombo, Ceylon, 20th March, 1950. Dear George, We said goodbye ta Belawan Deli on Saturday night and ar- rived in sight af Penang, Malaya, by Sunday marning. As soon as we saw Penang we knew we were going ta like it, which we did, as will appear fram my remarks about what we saw. You will ob- serve that the Sunday hoodoa stili continues but, in this case, it xnay have been ta aur advantage as na work was attempted, there- by assuring us of one good day ashare. We knew that aur on- coming cargo would be small'and that it could be disposed ai in ýhait a day. abo doubt, a few salient tacts aot Penang would be interest- ing. It is an island off the west oafa Malaya, some 108 square miles in area, with a population of 109,000. Its prope.z description is "SettIement" (Br it ishb, of course). The main town, officiai- 'ly known as "Georgetown," but usually referred ta as Penang, is ozn the northeast corner of the 'island It is very hilly in the centre. The highest point-West- ern Hili-has an altitude of 2,722 feet. *We anchored in the roads about one hait mile off the docks at about 11:30 a.m. and, by naon, we were through with the port authorities. When we found out that the agent was returning ta shore at 12:30 p.m. we decided ta go with him.

We made aur way by taxi ta the foot af the Hill Raiiway, same six miles away. It is a type ai funicular railway similar ta that which climbs The Peak at Hong Kong. It ascends ta a beight ai 2270 -leet in ane mile, 435 yards. Thus the main gradient is i in 3 and the steepest is 1 in 1.96. 1 wonder how Tim Adams and bis section would like ta look after such a grade as that. It is built in two sections oper- ating independently, sa that one bas ta transfer ta another car hait way up. There are twa class- es af seats, First wîth white covers an the seats and Third. We were ushered into First Class which are the best as they afford an unobstructed view, which is excellent. The trip takes about anc balf hour. On reaching the summit we iooked around for the rond ta the Crag Hotel wbich we found ta bc about a mile away, by a vcry interesting wmnding road through the jungle.. The womnen were pretty tired by the time we got there and so were glad ta find that we were stili in time for Tiffin (lunch) which we bad on a wide verandah, after refreshing ourselves witb a -in Sling. When we were about ready ta return ta the station, we were1 confrontcd with a typical tropical rainstorm and did it pour, but wet enjoyed it, bcing safely underc caver at the botel. It lasted per-i baps a balf hour but, when wet were rcady ta set out again, we saw another black cloud ap- praacbing us and, in iact, in noa time, we wcre enveloped in fog z ANN PAGE VITAMIN "B" SLICED MWILK BREAD CUSTOM GROUND 8 O'CLOCK COFF] CHRISTIE'S GRAHAM WAFLRS ANN PAGE ANN PAGE PEANIJT BUTTER A&P CHOICE TTOES AIP CHOICE COIN ,4/aae.

At the office we were infornr that we could hire jinricksha (tricycle) ta take us back ta Railway Station. We gratefu accepted. As evening was by t] time approaching, the monk( had corne out and s0 we w( pcstered for peanuts and/or ba anas, neither of which we h~ provided. By the time we reac ed the bottom it was 5:15 p. and as dinner had been advanc ta 6 p.m., and as we had no è sire ta spend the evening shore, we made aur way back the pier where we engaged sampan ta take us back ta t ship. A strong breeze had sprungi which, with the 'strang tide, cor bined ta make the water pret rough. However, it proved a solutely seaworthy and didi ship a drap ai water, but ta g from the bobbing sampan ta t] bobbing ship's ladder, was ju a bit tricky.
