HARTFORD '| Royal Head of Wales Takes Residence NEW BRITAIN DA WORLD 15 PLEASANT 10 LONE TRAVELER Englishman Journeys 100 Miles on Foot in Dangerous Country Rangoon, Nov, 8, Charles W, Blythe an Englishmen who is joyrneying on foot from Bingapore to Calals, France, and London, recently arrived in Rangoon and is now on his way to| Calcutta, < He Intends to . pursue his! way through northern India, Baluch- istan and Persia to ' Shat-el.Arab, | whence he will follow the Euphrates' to its source and make his way through Asla Minor and Europe, He hopes to arrived in England by the end of 1923, Mr. Blythe, who has already cov- ered 2,100 miles of his trip, thinks| that his last 200 miles in Slam econ. stituted as difticult a country as he shall ever encounter, He carries no firearms or weapons of any kind, and has not yet had need of any. 'His! pack weigh from 20 to 40 poundu' and consists of clothes, food, maps, notebooks and simple camp utensils, Malays and -Burmans, the traveler says, are the.most friendly people he has encountered so far. The Blamese | he ranks last although none of them have been definitely unfriendly. Describing some of the adventures he has had since leaving Singapore last May, Mr. Blythe says, in part: “I wished to traverse Slam with all possible speed. From Kuen Nung, my troubles commenced. Roads . in the interior of Siam are nonexistent, ) Even cartroads are termed by cour- | tesy, For two days oI traveled by | earth paths, sleeping in farmers’ !'houses, until I reached Patalung, | which is a rallway town 'not far from | ithe coast. The place being infested | with mosquitoes, I requested the sta- ! tlon master to allow me to sleep in| ithe walting room, which request he ! granted. “Leaving Patalung I entered the jungle again, aithouzh farms and vil- lages were frequent, , All this time I was gulding myselt northward by the sun, every day or two tacking across| to the rallroad in order to keep the' direction, There was but little fear| of losing my way as the mountains ran parallel to the sea, leaving be- tween a strip of plain, varying from ten to 40 miles in width, The large villages are located between the coast, and the rallway. “It was remarkable that I en- countered no wild animals and very few snakes, which sometimes I killed and sometime avolded. The natives| were generally friendly enough, al- though our Intercourse was limited owing to my dcfectlve Slamese vo- cabulary. “Some 40 miles north of Chum- phon, I was very puzzled to account for the fact that large expanses of the hillsides were cleared and used as grazing grounds for cattle, as I had not credited the Blamese with suffi- clent energy to clear large areas of hill jungle. I was told that some 60 years ago a terrific tempest swept Lacross the isthmus 6f Kra and de- stroyed all the vegetation, “From Prechuap Kirikan the coun- ‘try became Slam of the picture books -—pagodas perched on seemingly in- accessible crags, natives clad in bril- llant-colored clothing; quaint ox- carts; - priests and monks and monasteries; herds of viclous-looking water buffaloes, and rice flelds every- where, 3 “l entered Bangkok July 23, ex- actly two months after leaving Singa- pore. Bangkok, llke most large towns of the East, is a curious mixture of west and east, the old and the new. Palatial reinforced concrete buildings are jostied by wretzhed hovels; foul- smelling, winding lanes lead from spacloupboulevards. Pagodas stand & ‘stone's throw from ‘churches. “The old walls of Bangkok are a fine example of the fortifications as| understood by the Orferital nations. Miles in length, averaging 30 feet in helght by some 20 in thickness and built of massive blocks of granite, they present a flne spectacle. The government houses are bullt of stone and are imposing structures. About | half a dozen of the far-famed white elephants are housed there. The tramway service. in Bangkok s the most comfortable of all I have tested in Asia, “At Ban Dara, my northermonst Iimit in Slam, I turned southwest, and arrived’ in a relatively large town named Bawankalobe. While talking| | with theé schoolmaster he Jokingly ra-l marked that I was a spy. The loeal | chief of pélice immediately became enamored with the {dea, and I spenl[ an uncomfortable 30 minutes rellev- ing his doubts.” PRINCE RENTS ESTATE For Grey. Hunting Season at KEaston London, Nov. 3.—When the Prince of Wales took up his residence : at Easton Grey, the country estate which | he has leased for the hunting season, he was followed by scores of persons | who had succeeded in renting other ! property\in the vicinity. The an- nouncement that the prince would hunt at Easton Grey was followed by a rush to this lonely section, and houses and estates which have been vacant for years will again be the scenes of house partles and festivities. Precautions have been taken, how- ever, to allow the prince as much pri- vacy as possible, and the general pub. lle will be excluded from the estate, Bo far no Invitations have been ac- copted by the prince, and he will try as much ‘as possible to be alone dur- Ing his visit to the north. Easton Grey lles just outside the old | Roman ""White Walls" and near the ' estate stands the famous. abbey of Malmesbury, where the first organ bullt in England was erectad, and the first man to make a flying machine lived ns a monk, COLONIAL INN Boarders and Roontera wanted by day or week, Grill servies, | Oolontal | Inn., Plainville, Conp, Speglal aticn- tlon given to travelers, ILY HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER ND A SMALL WEEKLY PAYMENT | GETS YOU —A NEW— SUIT OR COAT .FOR MAN OR WOMAN— New Britain’s Oldest, Greatest CREDIT CLOTHING HOUSE Women’s and Misses’ Department Men’s and Boys’ Department Conservative Business Suits Snappy Sport Suits Newest Pencil Stripe Suits Sturdy Tweed Suits Boys’ Extra Quality Serge Suits Boys’ Two-Trouser Suits, Men’s and Boys’ Overcoats Fur Trimmed Wraps Smartly Tailored Top Coats Beautiful Canton Crepe Dresses Fine Poiret Twill Dresses New Styles Serge Dresses Fur Trimmed Suits Fashionable Tailored Suits Lowest Prices Largest Stock Easiest Terms GATELY=BRENNAN 47 Main Street New Britain —OPEN SATURDAY EVENINGS —
