Then we visited the Vale of Avoca
and sat on the Wishing Stone of
Moore. Then, of course, we visited
the ruins of the Seven Churches,
'•onderful old places, all of them.
But we were fairly tired out after
our sight-seeing.
From Dublin we crossed ovei to
Liverpool, and I wa.s amazed to find
no moving picture shows open in
that city on Sundav. The churches j
jwere crowded with people, and
wonderful churches thev are. From j
Liverpool we went to London and :
thought we were in New York
again, with its rush and its bustle.
We visited the London Tower and
saw the place where so many were j
imprisoned and oaid cue penalty
for their fidelity to conscience. We
saw' the treasures—kings and:
queens crowns, with jewels you
could sell and live in ease.

Then we crossed the English
Channel to Paris, and saw Gay
Pare? in all its glory. We stayed
vwo oi three days in Paris, going
around with a guide who showed
us the chief places ox interest a nr
as the time was getting near for
the young man who accompanied
rie to go back to school, we went on
to Lourdes, which we reached whexi
the great National Pilgrimage of
France was gathered there. Words
fail to describe the feelings one ex
periences in this wonderful shrine
town, where so many are cured of
their bodily and spiritual ailments.
No one can ever tell me again that
the French are not religious. One
was cured at Lourdes of all those
that were brought there on litters,
young and old. And these litters
are carried to the Shrine by the
nobility of Fiance, who are .m id j
to serve as bearers of the sick. The
hotels in Lourdes are wonderful, i
xi nd the Basilica is well worth se^- ;
Then back from Lourdes to Lon
don and Liverpool where my little
pal had to take the boat to get back
to school for September 6th. I felt '
perfectly lost when we had said
good bve to one another, for he had
been my interpreter in France, ana
my delightful companion all thru
Ireland and England.
I must not forget to tell you of
my experience while crossing the
Irish Sea, where the poor old Sky |
Pilot met his Waterloo. It was
dreadfully rough, and of course 11
got sick. Tf any of you have ever j
been seasick I know that I have
your heartfelt sympathy. I was so j
sick that if someone came along j
and said, “Father, you have won I
the Nenana-Alaska Ice Pool of
?50,000”. I would have answered,
“Go away, and let me die.” Many
were in the same awful fix as I was.
Later I saw some very funny post- ;
cards which described just wat. a :
fix I was in. One of them showed
three people hanging over the rail,
and on the bottom was written. !
“Bringing Up The Past.” /.rather i
one v/as two people clinging to the;
rail with one hand over then ;
mouths, and the inscription read,.
Too Full For Uttei’ance.” i ft It f
like the man who had been seasick j.
and was sitting up on deck, covered
with shawls and blankets, when his >
wife came alo- fi
console him, “Waiting for the moon ,
:o come up, dear ?”. He answered,
‘Good Lord. Marie, has that got to
some up yet ?” I shall never for
get the Irish Sea, for it made an
wful impression on my poor “turn
nv.M
After bidding goodbye to my pal
i* Liverpool I started for Italy, go
ing back to Paris, then to Milan,
and then to Venice. In Venice I
witnessed the gondoliers’ race, and
a most exciting race it was. I dar
„d not take a ride in a gondola on
account of the swaying motion, es
pecially when a large boat passes j
by, for I feared the “bringing up
again of the past.”
Florence is a wonderful city, rich
in treasures of art—as all these
c;ties in Italy are. The most won
derful churches in the world, shown
to visitors with the greatest pride;
pointings in the galleries by the old
masters which are a delight to the
'•ye.
And now, dear Alaskans, I have
reached this great citv of P me. the
center of Catholicity, and I am
waiting for an audience with the
Pope tomorrow. There are many
' ;:c that I could enumerate in
■ x letter, but must do as all story
books do, or as all story books say,
“To be continued in our next.”
I have been fairly well on the trip
i? d li enjeye i tl. dux. i
r«,-,v.nt, if1! vou now eagerly I looic
forward to the day when I shall see
f.oe Goddess of Liberty in the New
York Harbor, and the words of the
poet will come to my mind—
“Breathes there a man with soul
dead.
Who never to himself hath said,
‘This is my own, my native land’
America Forever ! ! !”

P. S.—In going to France, take j
your thermos bottle with you as
there are no water coolers "in the
trains. You are supposed to drink
only wine.
If you love coffee, take your per
colator and two boxes of Hills good
coffee along. In Europe they use
some kind of liquid preparation
that tastes like “burned beans or
bitter cabbage leaves.”
Take two cakes of soap along as
no soap is supplied in your room.
For the love of Sam Hill, study
French and Italian or you will be
in a terrible pickle.
Take plenty of “tip money" for if
you sneeze or turn around you are
expected to give a “tip”, though
some hotels tell you “all tips are
abolished”, but 10 percent is added
to your bill and as you get further
into the country the percent in
creases to 15 and 20 percent. So as
to clean out your pocket thorough

Sincerely yours,
