We had" two hours in the little city of Horta, with 22,000 population. Here we saw a very in teresting little city -with its narrow streets, barefooted women and chil dren with baskets on their heads. We met with a saloon on every corner and in between corners. The streets were busy with Backed mules, wagons, and a few automobiles. The Azores are a most interest ing group of Islands. The division of the farms is very pronounced and makes a most interesting scene from the sea. The buildings are very at tractive and well arranged. Flowers grow along the streets and add to the unusual attractiveness of the place. We are now in port at Angra and will leave at 10:30 tonight, to ar rive at Porta Delgata tomorrow, Saturday at 7 o'clock, where we stay until noon. Thus far we have had a most ex cellent voyage. I have not been seasick yet, but am homesick for Murphy. Sincerely yours, HOWARD P. POWELL 400 GALLONS BEER DESTROYED Sheriff R. L.
