BAHAMASFrom what infor mation we could glean from the weather reports and the Canada Calling program at am it might boronctuded that winter has been hovering around fairly constantly in the old homeland of course nothing aa bad as the Halifax storm but from what was aald Sunday we concluded that thcrc had been quite storm In the Great Lakes area over the weekend We notici patc being back In Nassau in day or so as we are now out beyond the reach of papers phones and other contacts with the outside except by mall blvost service page each way week ROUGE TRIP Coming up from Nassau Sat urday wa took freight and pass enger boat which was not the regular mull boat We had fair ly good accommodation for the ilvehour trip and bad the north winds not taken band in it all would have been pleasant However the shibownera had undertaken to rampart on old ton and ball truck up to some farme on the end of his haul and this was brought on board after the deck had been loaded with drums of gasoline Planks were placed for the wheels and colored man dr vs the truck on to thehout lie the wind tossed the craft between the dock and its moorings That alone was precarious under taking When lt was on board they undertook to fasten it down by ropes from the axles to the deck twisting it as tightly as possible with tourniqueta 0rd iriigily it should have ridden scl UNUSUAL WINDS However it was not ordinary out beyond the shelter of the is lands When thc ahlp reached the open sea the northwest wind straight from home was waiting for us It ireshened as we proceeded and the battle was on The struggle was to losathatJruck off the deck to the deep The passengers can suffered or the boat dipped and rolled The ropes eventually loosened The passengers abouts dozen hecama waozle We watched the truck as it dipped and tossed from side to side fearing that it might come sideways and through the cabin whereaome of us hovered out of the wet spray Just as it looked as though the truck was bound to go off we reached the shelter of an island and the crew set to re roping down the vehicle whose total value back home would not be more than hundred dollars It had been condemned to the city of Nassau and was going back to farmer on nnlsinnd to finish up as farm vehicle The tires looked the mostvalu able part However the crew won They arrived here at Spanish Wells with their cargo intact and we among the pass engers were as glad to get our feet nnthe dock or the crew was to tie up SPANISH WELLS We have asked how the name originated and no ona has an answer It may be written in history but we have not found it town of about not people most ly white this is race for the Bahamas where the average is much higher for the colored than the whites These people are mostlyblonde and there

to the secondary school It is an old town and of the homes are built of frame with some of the newer and bet ter ones of cement block con struction The better homes are painted white or coral or blue and as one approaches from the water the town has look of beauty with the background of the blue Caribbean and the run shining which it has not done too much thiswerJtendi Accommodation here is limit ed as they apparently do not anticipate too many tourists The hotel managed to squeeze us in but they had rented two of their floors to some evangeh ists who had been doing special services at the Brethren Church Others who came to stay bad to take second choice and this in cluded meals as the evangelists had taken over the flats with kitchens We managed to get some light lunch type of food at what was called restaurant but which was typical hot dog stand by back home standards Under these conditions we decid ed that as the north breeze still predominated we wouldtry for flight back to Nassau on the Bahamas Airways leaving from an island called Eleutbera about mile across from this one One gets there by the costly service provided by boat taxi and boat provided by the same man He will land you at the airstrip by prenrrangcment The boat trip was less than $3 to come up but to get back by air the cost is four times that plus your boat and taxi fare and another taxi fare at Nassau air port It ccstsmcney tobe piker and avoid the boat trip back However we want to see Eleuthers and this will be our opportunity We will be back in Nassau In half an hour after takeoff

marlin fishing He is another of the Chadians who are sailing down their gains here in theBahamus so that the taxes will not affect too much of their income If one wanted place to live which might escape the after math oi an atomic war we would suggest that this could be it For enough away to not be wortha bomb especially directed over it and likely to miss the contamina tlon that will spread
