Very few cared to go on deck and No Lights Permitte The Coama belongs to the federal reserve fleet and no lights were allow- ed after 8 o'clock because of the dan- ger from submarines. In the saloon and in the dining room and smoking room all the port holes were ‘closed and covered with a dark cloth. I did rot know, of this regulation and the officer on ‘the deck ordered me to' put my light out. The first night out I made the acquaintance of my room- mate, an’ American living ' in Porto Rico. We got alcng famously, he stay- ing up all. night to play catds nad coming in in the morning just-as I was; going out. T slept fairly well the first night spite of the tossing and rolling of .the boat. In the morning, however, 1 did not care much whether we stayed on top of the water or underneath it. I had a genuine case of seasickness. My steward, an_ Englishman, came In and suggested that I have a bit of toast and a _cup of coffee. I did not feel much like eating. but. I ate the toast and drank the coffee and felt much better. I managed to go down to lunch at noon. and from that time on I did not lose a meal. Teacher Passengers. There were about a dozen teachers on board going to teach in Porto Rico for the first time. - Not one of them knew where shc was going._Every one who had been in Porto Rico befdre took ‘special delight in telling these poor schoolma’'ms what they were up azainst. They told them all they would get to eat was beans, rice and caffee; beans at least three times a The “meals on ‘board the &hip were fine and we all made the most of them because we did not know what we|] would get in Porto Rico. The weather ‘was very rough for three days,eand a rumber of the people were sick all the time. Farewell Concert. The last night on board the ship an fmpromptu concert was given in the sgloon. We had a mumber of very in- teresting people on board and they took part in this concert. One of them was a medical missionary, Dr. Mary Barker, who was going to Porto Rico for five years. She gave an excellent description of the Indian sun dance as she had eeen it in Oklahoma, Another ko took part was a Porto Rican. Dr. Dueno, a brilliant pianist. Miss Mary Shea, a teacher, sanz Gounod's Ave Maria most -delightfully. A group of: young people sang Three Blind Mice in an ‘amusing manner. A -group’ of Porto Ricans sang some Spanish songs for us and the evening closed. with-the singinz of The Star Spangled Banmer, led by a little Spanish girl. No one new that I bad any knowledge of and so T was mot on the pro- musis gram. Reached San Juan. The next morning (Thursday) we be in San Juan at noon. We sighted San Juan about 11 o'clock and all went up on deck to get our first view of Forto Rico. As our ship reached the dock a number of small black boys swam out to our ship and dived for pennies. When we reached shore, with two other teachers T started out to find the commissioner of education. I saw a fine looking policeman at the en- trance and I inquired the Way. “Yo no entiendo” (I do not know), he said, with a shrug. .1t was a shock to me to realize that even the policemen did rot spealk English. - We asked several people with the same result until final- Iy we etruck one who could gypeak Eng- lish. He told us the way and we ar- rived without any more trouble. Given Assignment. Dr. Miller, tke commissioner, was very pleasant, and after a few words assigned me to Mayaguez. He told me to take the 8.40 p.-m. train and to get 2 berth in advance. I went down to the station and bought a ticket. Time is nothing here, and it took me 25 minutes to buy the ticket. I got my first view of the.train about 8 o'clock, and it was all T could do to resist the temptation to pick that train up and put it in my vest pocket.
