We also went to the old Salem Witch House which was 284 years old this suramer. Here my cousin and T saw old-fashioned furniture and- dishes.

The scenery the Thames was very interesting Passing New lLondon we saw tor- pedo boats on the water, and what in- | terested us most were three camou- flaged ships, brought from: lore;gn wa- ters.
