boat, other yachtmen were always
telling us of the Bahamas. We
had been through Florida in small
beat and large, and yet scarcely
sixty miles away over the indigo
waters of the Gulf Stream lay a
aradise that we had never neen.

So one mgr.t aiier wees 01 prepa
rations, we hauled up our anchor
and set sail for the Isle of Jane.
I wanted to stay cut on deck, but
my parents insisted on my going to
bed. As the lights of Miami grew
dim by distance, I picked up Hun
ter, then a roly-poly puppy, and
went down below to my bunk.
When I woke up the next morn
ing, we were just coming in
through the Gun Cay Pass. On
tithtr side were low lying islands.
The surge of the crystal clear Gulf
se;'m broke on the rocky shorts,
slashing up to the stunted green
bashes. For a moment we rolled
.letp as we crossed the bar. Then
a half a mile farther and we were
in Cat Cay harbor.
Just as we dropped our anchor,
the sun rose on a new land. Ashore
a darky raised the Union Jack on
the flag pole. Behind him almost
obscured by the palm trees, we
could see the white houses on the
island. Other darkies came down
to the wharves. A small boat put
yacht. For the hurricane season,
we tayed in Hope Town on Aba
co. Though there are many more
darkies than whites in the Bahamas
Hope Town was ail white except
for the 1'irhthouse keeper. Here
we learr.i J the ways of the people,
how they coiked their food out
doors in big conical shaped rock
and lime ovens, the important man
ner in which the men set out with
their machetes for their handker-
cief sized "fields", or hoisted the
white sails on their dingies bound
for the blue waters outside the
harbor to catch a dinner of fish or
conchs.
Here 1 also learned how to plait,
just the right time to get the uying
cocoanut fronds, how to cut them
into long lengths of slender strips
and the correct way to braid nine
Oi" eleven of them into inch wide
strands, sturdy
.'astiiig hat. A
thing a Bahama native is seldom
without. The women also make
white lines from the heart of the
palmeto.
After the danger from the trop
ical storms was over, we left our
snug harbor in this lonely little
village and went to Nassau, the
capital of the Bahamas and then
back across the Gulf Stream to the

A warm spring day when the

moths.
Miss Gordon explained that the
warmth of a blanket depends upon
a soft, fluffy nap. Wool fibers
are soft, crimpy, and scaly. When
a wool blanket is placed in warm
soapy water, the fibers become
softened or plastic. If the blan
ket is subjected to hard rubbing or
wringing, the fibers tend not only
to creep up on each other, but to
stick together.
Because of the danger of this
shrinkage and motting of the wool
maker should understand the rules ;
of washing blankets properly.
Since wool cannot stand too much
cold or too much heat, only luke
warm water should be used for
washing and rinsing. The tem
perature of the water should never
be above 00 degrees F.
The second thing to remember.
Miss Gordon said, is to use soft
water and mild neutral soap, never
strong laundry soap. Two table
spoons ful of borax to each tub of
water should be added if the water
needs softening. If a sediment
forms, the water should be strain
ed. Water should be squeezed, not
twisted, out of a blanket. If a
wringer is used, the blanket should
be folded flat and the tension on
the rolls released to avoid crushing
the nap.

LEAVES FROM
Gypsy Waters'
LOG BOOK
We had come to Florida and
like birds resting in their migra
tion, we were content to stay for
a while. We cruised down the
coast and through the Indian Riv
er. It was here that I saw my
first cocoanut trees. As we sail
ed along, Mother and I kept asking
Daddy what those trees were that
lined the banks of the river. We
had seen the cabbage palm that
grows farther north, but these had
more graceful lines big handled
feather dusters.
At the time, I thought that the
trees along the Narrows of the In
dian River were numerous, but
when we had gotten to Biscayne
Bay and Miami, I knew how wrong
I had been. Here the palms grew
abundantly, lining the streets and
gracefully leaning over the blue
waters of the bay.
Florida with its white beaches
and warm sunshine was pleasant
and so we stayed, cruising 3oT?i
the string of islands to Key West
and Dry Totugas, then up the west
coast to St. Petersburg and Tampa.
Occasionally we would lay up the
big boat and take a canoe trip. On
one of these, we went down the
Suwannee River, slipping through
its quiet pools and racing down
the rapids that roared between the
rocky banks of deep gorges.
