MILES AND KNOTS

A statute mile contains 5,280 feet. It is the United
States and English standard of itinerary measure. A
nautical mile, or “knot,” as it is commonly called, is
supposed to be equal in length to one-sixtieth part of
the length of a degree of a great circle of the earth, and
the English Admiralty has, therefore, adopted, 6,080
feet as the length of a nautical mile, which corresponds
With the length of one-sixtieth of a degree of a great
Circle in latitude 48. The United States Coast Survey
has adopted 6,080.27 feet as a nautical mile, the same
being ”one-sixtieth part of the length of a degree on
the great circle of a sphere whose surface is equal to
the surface of the earth."

HAVANA

(NOTE: Don’t drink unboiled water (luring the
cruise. That supplied on shipboard and at hotel tables
is all right—elsewhere bottled water is safest.)

Cuba was a Spanish colony until 1898, when
as a result of the Spanish—American War she
was given sovereignty as a republic under certain
restraining regulations in behalf of United
States. The Cuban peso is guaranteed at 50c by
the U. S. Treasury. The traveler, however, will
use American money. Havana is of late steadily
gaining in popularity as a winter resort, partly
perhaps because it is 150 miles from United
States territory—far beyond the three-mile limit.

THE PANAMA CANAL

The Canal channel is 42 miles long—from
deep water to deep water, Paciﬁc to Atlantic,
the distance is 50 miles. On the Atlantic side,
it follows the Chagres River valley up to the
height of land, cuts through, then descends by
the valley of the Rio Grande. The (jatun Dam
(on top of which is a 9—hole golf course) was
built to ﬂood the Chagres back into a lake
(Gatun Lake) in order to lessen the amount of
excavating needed on that side of the ridge. The
three steps of the Gatun Locks bring vessels
up to the Lake’s level from the Atlantic. Three
locks on the Paciﬁc side lead ships down again
to sea level.

The Panama Railroad, completed in 1855,
carried the ﬁrst trans-continental train across
the New World (and, moreover, did it from
west to east!). It had to be relocated along
nearly its whole length while the Canal was
building. Cristobal lies at the Atlantic end
and is within the Panama Canal Zone (U. S.
territory). The town adjoining it is known as
Colon. At the other end lies Balboa in the
Zone, with Panama just across the Zone line.

Doughty Balboa (not “stout Cortez” gazing
in “wild surmise,” as Keats’ poem had it)
crossed the Isthmus 100 miles south of the
Canal route, in 1513, discovering “the South
Sea,” later by Magellan named the Paciﬁc.

General direction of Canal, Atlantic to Paci—
ﬁe, is south east! It does not run westward to
the Paciﬁc at all!

SAN FRANCISCO

Spanish pioneers from San Diego happened
upon this fair harbor in 1769, and gave it its
fairer name. Spaniards made a settlement
here at the same time that the Declaration of
Independence was being signed 3,000 miles
away. The Presidio, now a federal military
barracks and reservation, was the original site;
the little Mission these Spanish settlers erected
in 1776, now stands at 16th and Dolores
Streets. Gold in 1848 put San Francisco “on
the map”; now the city’s “area” holds nearly
one—third of California’s population. “Most
uniform climate in the world,” they tell you.
We shall see a great deal of the city while we
are her guests.

HILO

The “Crescent City by the Sea,” second city
in the Hawaiian Islands (11,000 inhabitants),
main seaport of the Island of Hawaii,
easternmost and largest of the Archipelago,
one of the eight inhabited islands of the group.
Originally known as the Sandwich Islands,
after an Earl of Sandwich; so named in 1778
by their English discoverer, the famous Cap-
tain Cook, killed here, to whose memory a
monument stands on the western side of
Hawaii. Its native inhabitants are Poly—
nesians, closely allied to the Samoans, the
Maoris of New Zealand and the Marquesans;
“a stalwart, hospitable, courteous, pleasure lov—
ing people,” whose beautiful liquid language
needs but 12 letters. Hilo is 190 sea miles
from Honolulu.

On Hawaii Island (Hah—wy-ee) is the fa-
mous Kilauea Volcano. Its open ﬁery pit of
molten lava is “one of earth’s most stupendous
spectacles.”

HONOLULU

On Oahu Island. Capital of Territory of
Hawaii; as much a part of U. S. politically as
Brooklyn or San Francisco. Population 75,-
000. It lies 2,100 miles from San Francisco,
3,400 from Japan.
A busy American—style city. After skirting
_ Maui, Koko Head and Diamond Head of Oahu
are passed as we approach. Then comes
famed Waikiki Beach, behind it the Punch
. Bowl. The Pali (cliffs) are on the opposite
side of the Island.
:2 The Island’s main export is sugar; with
pineapples a poor second, coffee third. Oahu
is lush with crops of the ﬁrst two.

We shall see many Japanese at this City of
Flowers—many in their homeland kimonos.
The Aquarium’s collection is a gem, in spite of
its small size.

In the course of the sun, its advent at each meridian

Fourteen miles southwest of Yokohama, especially
famed for a great bronze Daibutsu standing in the open
It is cast in the “Amida form of Buddha”; i. e., the
Supreme Buddha of the Paradise of the Pure Earth of
the West. “A deity of consolation, help, and deliver-
ance.” It was cast in 1222, of one-inch plates joined
with extraordinary skill. It is 50 feet high.

Kamakura, once the seat of empire, has a ﬂourishing
past to compensate for its small size at present and its
relative insigniﬁcance. In the 15th Century it is said to
have harbored a million people. Now a charming sea-
side resort convenient to Tokyo and Yokohama.

TOKYO

Japan’s present capital, owning over two million in-
habitants; and because of its one and two—story charac—
ter covers a vast area. So devastating and frequent are
its ﬁres that they have a saying, “Fire is Tokyo's
flower." Earthquake disasters no less catastrophic oe—
cur from time to time. It is a centre of learning and
trade. Fiji can easily be glimpsed from Tokyo and
Yokohama on clear days. The Emperor's castle, ad—
mittance to which is forbidden the populace or casual
tourists, is a wide—flung collection of strongholds and
parks. A parliamentary system somewhat like that of
the German Empire exists; the Emperor being both
political and spiritual head of the nation. There is now
no state religion, although Shinto was for a time so
decreed, but holds at present equal popularity with
Buddhism.

Nikko is ninety miles north of Tokyo; about four

capital. It is noted as the burial place of two of the
mightiest of the Shoguns, the ﬁrst of whom died in
1624. A t\\'enty—ﬁve—mile avenue of towering weathered
Cryptomeria (japanese giant cedar) trees once formed
part of its elaborate approach. By leavingr our train
at Iinaichi, we shall get a sixdnile motor trip thru the
best remaining part of the avenue to the charming
hotels at Nikko. The Parisians say “See Paris and
die”; Japanese say, “Do not say splendid (kekko)
until you have seen Nikko.”

The oft-pictured Sacred Red Bridge of Japan (Mi—
hashi) is at the entrance to the Mausolea grounds, a
curving, vermillion, eighty—three-foot span, gracefully
arching the unruly river Daiyagawa that plunges sea—
ward deep in its gorge from Lake Chuzenji. Nature,

KYOTO
Capital of Japan, after Nara, for more than a thou—
sand years (until 1868). It is to Japanese what Paris
is to the French, or Florence to ltalians. Fourth in
size of the Empire's cities. When the residence of the
Emperor was moved to “cho” in 1868, the latter \\ as
renamed Tok—yo (Kyoto's syllables reversed).

Kyoto is the art centre of one of the world's most
artistic peoples. Its parks, shops, temples, festivals are
dreams of quiet beauty. Many travelers acclaim it the
most important art centre outside Europe. It is two
hours‘ train ride from Kobe; an hour from Osaka; and
lies on the Yokohama-Shimonoseki railway trunk line.

More than 3,000 stone and metal lanterns scattered

One of the everywhere recurring motifs of

original we shall see at Miyajima. At high
tide not only does the red gate stand islanded,
but the several structures of ltsuku-shima

;\li_\'aji1na is popularly elected greatest of
”the three great sights of japan,” as over Mat—

But let us get our bearings: Miyajima, cor—

Itsuku—shima is the ﬁve—milevlong island to

SHANGHAI

From two Chinese words meaning ”Ap-
proaching the Sea.” Practically all the large
“ports” of China were established securely a
few miles inland up a river, while a small city
at the sea front received the shocks of pirate
(and “foreign devil”) visitations. Shanghai,
however, was not a large city until recently,
but lies 14 miles up the \Vhangpoo River from
W'oosung, where both this stream and the
3,200 mile yellow Yangtze reach the coast.
Through Soochow Creek which ﬂows into the
VVhangpoo at Shanghai, the city communicates
with the Grand Canal—one of the world’s
wonders—a 900 mile construction from Hang‘

chow t0 Tientsin. These two mighty water-
ways have made Shanghai China's premier
foreign trade city.

“Mex” dollars are Shanghai’s commonest
tender, although there are many other monies.
The silver currencies of China are so compli-
cated as to require a careful study to master.

HONG KONG

Hong Kong's harbor is one of the world’s
“great three” (with Rio de Janeiro and Syd-
ney, Australia). Almost sheer above it, form-
ing the topmost point of llong Kong Island,
rises the Peak, 1,500 feet, most of the city (ofﬁ—
cially ”Victoria,” popularly never anything but
“Hong Kong”) clinging along its narrow
strand at searleyel. Kowloon is the mainland
city across the Harbor.

Formerly a part of the Chinese Empire, ﬁrst
occupied in 1839 by British traders withdraw-
ing from Canton and Macao on account of
troubles attending the opium dispute. Name
most probably corrupted from Heung-Kong,
meaning “fragrant streams.” Ceded to Great
Britain in 1841. The peninsula of Kowloon
already occupied for several years as a military
sanitarium, formally ceded by treaty in 1861.
At present time the island holds 500,000 people
of all races. In 1839 it was a tiny ﬁshing ham—
let. The point of ﬁrst attempted settlement
was on the opposite side of the island—the spot
we shall see on our motor trip to Repulse Bay.
