•Simulated
dip in the waters of the Chowan* riv-'
er. The day was very pleasantly spent
bv all who attended and the fellow
that stayed away is the one to do
the regreting.. Music-was furnished
by the M.W.A. three piece orchestra
composed of J. V Grant, Clayton
Matthews, and Ed A'ilson, all of Roa
noke Rapids. Gordon Draper must
have had a great experience of some
kind as he returned with a very red
face, neck, arms and shoulders and
claimed that he was not blushing. Ex
cept for the fact that he continually
ducked his head under tlfe water,
Leonard Jones would have suffered
a sun stroke while in the water as the
sun had full sway on his bald head.
Dud Wheeler ehjoyed the picnic to
the fullest exteftt until after dinner
then he seemed to be suffering front
a fullness in the stomach that he
could not account for. Johnnie Med
!:ns’ worries seemed to center on the
fact that all of his children had join
ed the wets leaving only himself and 1
wife with the hardship of turning I
them dry again. Cyrus Wocvd so far i
as is known got the only real disap
pointment of the day, that being caus
ed by the failure of the camp to pro
vide a big tub of red circus lemonade
ns he had expected. The camp is al
ready looking forward to the second
annual picnic of the camp to be held
some where some time in 1931.

years ago, we've always used RAT

Tells About Quake
(Continued from page one)
then I began to think of a second
quake and the earth opening, or our
hotel falling into the sea, or a tidal
wave. Our hotel was built on a cliff
120 feet directly above the water and
it could easily fall in.
We are just now beginning to get
over the strain and nervous reaction.
We only got about three hours sleep
the night of the quake and we left
about 9:30 the next morning for Ca
pri. We had to have breakfast at 8:30.
Then we got to Capri about 11 and
the boat went on and anchored out
side the blue grotto and we got off
and got in little boats. The boats on
ly took two or three people at a time,
so we had a long, long wait. The grot
to was rather much of a disappoint
ment except for the color of the water.
It is small and dark and there is r.o
blue reflection on the rocks. Then we
vent back to Capri for lunch and had
i long hot walk up the hill to the ho
tel. After lunch we took the funnelar
railway to the top of the mountain
and got a wonderful view of the sea
a*-d land, came down and boarded the
.it for Naples at 3:45. We had to
©out to it in row booats. Arrived at
Naples at 5:20 and had to go thro the
customs. Everyone does because any
cne could sneak* in easily at Capri,
which has no customs office. Then1
dinner at 8 p. ip. on the train to Rome.
The train left at 8:2l» and arrived in
Rome at 12:20. We were all dead by
that time and we would have had
some royal sights had we not boon so
tired. We got to bed about 1:30 a. m,
and started sightseeing next morn
ing at 8:45 We go sightseeing in taxia
so we feel very elegant especially af
ter we see huge tourist buses jam
med with people. It sprinkled off and
Oil during the morning and we had a
nice breeze so the weather has been
as lovely in Italy as anyone could
wish. We visited the Borghia Gar
dens. St. Peters’ the Coloseum, Apian
Way. Quo Yadis Church, Catacombs,
St. Pauls* and general interesting
views of the city. Tomorrow the Va
tican and the Forum.
I received your nice letter of July
Sth today ar.d certainly did enjoy it.
2 a mnejoying every minute and I
hope you haven’t worried too much
about the earthquake. We were not
in the worst, tho it was very near and
I can’t say that I especially enjoyed
the feeling, but I can’t write all my'
feelings and impressions—I must tell
them.
EVELYN.
