Charles Scott Haley The only means of travel across the isthmus was by the Panama Railroad, which more or less paralleled the course of the canal, then under construction. An observation car, open at the sides, gave us glimpses of the locks at Gatun, the deep and sliding Culebra ‘Cut, and the foundations which were being laid at iraflores. In between the tropic jungle reached forth to the edge of the roadway with hungry hands. Little native clearings flashed by,with thatched huts and the usual cluster of native menage—naked children, hogs wallowing in the doorway, circumambient chickens flying over the family wash spread on the grass, and women ranging in color from Indian chocolate to dusky. black, going about their tasks. As the train pulled into Panama, a city-of narrow, . crowded streets revealed itself. Native stalls in which every imaginable bit of trash was mingled with bales of cheap, shoddy. clothing and shelves of ancient canned . goods, much of which was condemned for sale in the United States, were also piled with Monte Cristo hats of finest weaves flanked by the coarse straw sombreroswhich the peons used. Above and around it all was a throng of native shoppers. Big, brawny Jamaica negros, speaking the clipped English which proudly proclaimed sar’ —jostled little dapper Spig policemen who were without shoes but boasted khaki uniforms. Mixed with these was the melange of natitve women of all colors, most whom were broad bosomed and waddling. “British object, Through all this wildly dashéd tiative “‘carromatas’” —little open victorias drawn by shaggy ponies. These were the taxicabs of the region, used altogether by the better classes, and of course by American soldiers and sailors. The rates were ridiculously cheap, and one day Chris and . hired one to take us out to the ancient walled city of Old Panama. This was, and still is, the most sirteentitig trip of all to one who has read of the pirates of the Spanish main. Sacked by Richard Morgan and a ragged following of buccaneers, who stole over the wall by night in a surprise attack from the surrounding jungle, it was burned and razed to the ground. The Spanish officers and men were butchered without mercy, and the women. who did not have the courage to kill themselves soon found a far worse fate. The spire and staircase of the old Cathedral where the officers made their last stand, defending their women above, survived the fire, and one imagines that there are still traces of blood in the brown stains on the stairs, even after nearly four centuries. But the jungle has now taken over. After waiting four or five days in Panama, our A genial, Swarthy “‘cargadores” (Please turn to Page 5) © boat—a ;Peruvian coast liner—came in. A day later we embarked and turned our prow to the south from Balboa. . This time the American passengers were in the minority, among a mixed group of Chileans, Peruvians and other nationalities. Our two Texan friends . were with us, on the way .to Bolivia, and helped to liven the voyage to Callao. This trip at that time took practically a week, as the steamer stopped to load and unload cargo at every north Peruvian port. Off the north coast of Peru, generally made at night. About four in the morning, we were usually awakened by the thunder of cargo winches. By five, practically every male passenger would be lined up.against the rail in various’ stages of bathrobe negligee, watching the loading operations while we waited the call for bathrooms from the stewards in the order assigned to us. lazy warmth poured down over the; sandy coast in golden prodigality. Like a nest of speckled turkey eggs in a heap of straw, the houses of the little port, dobewalled and thatch-roofed, looked out ‘from their refuge across the broad Pacific. the landfalls are shouted and sweated in TAILINGS: By Jim Towne — J ARMISTICE. Today as: we pause to reflect on our war dead; and on that first Armistice Day, we know that they did not die in vain. We are still a free people and the voice of the common man supreme. We have not broken their trust in us, when they went to battle on foreign lands. A former plowman has been elected president of the country they so gallantly fought for. Where else could that happen but in these United States of America? 3 eh BUGABOO. That of Communism has been washed from our horizon by the recent torrential rains. Moscow’s mouthpiece has failed as dismally as Moscow has in understanding the American Way. In—the-family,--in—polties and in sports the pattern is the same. We may be divided and the fight a tough and abusive one. Then, when the smoke of battle has cleared, the victor and vanquished kiss and make up. So What? The families, the political parties and the sports fans are all pulling together, a united people. You can’t beat -the combination. Se 4 BONES, Hew strong are yours? Thomas.
