IL? Writes Interest int; lA'tter from
Bolivia-Hail Hough Voyage.
La Paz-Bolivla, South America,
.luly 16th, 190S.-Editors Keowee
Courier: When I left home I was re
quested by several friends to write
them something of my trip. and have
derided that lt will be much less trou
ble to write one letter for your col
umns, so they all may read it.
In January last B. A. Lowery and
myself set sall from New York dur
ing the greatest blizzard they had
experienced during the past winter.
The sea was fairly smooth for the
first 36 hours out. However, when
opposite Cape Hatteras we ran into
a hurricane, which lasted for 30
hours, and lt was during this storm
that we "fed the fish" properly-In
fact, any one to have seen us would
have thought that we were adepts at
the art, lt being the only time that
either of us was sta-slck during the
entire voyage. Great billows, the
height of which 1 would not attempt
to estimate-(will only say their
crests seemed to meet the firmament)
-came rolling over us, frequently
going entirely over the vessel. Each
time that this happened seemed the
last, for, of course, the vessel was
apparently submerged. Though she
was au Inanimate object, lt. appeared
that she was endowed with the intel
ligence of some superior being, for
each time that she came out from
her burial of water she seemed the
more desperate to ride the crests of
the waves, for there was a master
hand on the bridge guldb ? lu r on
her course. The captain, not trusting
the destiny ol' lils ship even for a
short while to any of his officers, re
mained on his feet, clinging to the
railing, throughout the entire 36
hours, shouting lils commands or
giving them by other signals used on
vessels. At the end of the time,
when the sea became loss turbulent,
he came down a thoroughly drenched,
hungry and completely exhausted
man, and received the congratula
tions and sincere thanks of all pas
sengers on board for the masterly
manner In which he had managed his
vessel.
In the midst of the storm, how
ever, our steerage was lu some way
broken. We were Immediately toss
ed Into the trough of the sea. and
remained entirely at her mercy for
some two hours, until they repaired
the damage. Then lt was that every
wave that came, lt seemed, would
dash her to pieces. She creaked and
groaned under their lashing. Now
pandemonium reigned among the
ship's crow. The yelling of those
Dutchmen at each other could be
heard on every side. This, with the
rattling of broken dishes, caused by
the rocking of the vessel, would cause
one to think that bedlam had been
turned loose. lt was during this
stage of the storm that one could not
sit, stand or Ile down without hold
ing fast to something stable. I was
sitting In the smoking room when a
gentleman arose and attempted to
cross the room. The boat gave a
lurch and sent him sprawling entire
ly across the room, through the
door, (taking lt with him, though, of
course, he didn't intend to) across
the deck, and he was prevented from
going overboard only by the Iron rail
ing around the deck. I proceeded to
crawl OUt to him in order to render
what assistance I could, for I was
certain I would find him with hones
fractured, from the force with which
he j; -sed through the door. To my
utter astonishment, rnd his entire
gratification, he was i. t Injured
other than some pretty severe bruises.
Of course every one on board was
sea-sick, Including the majority of
the Ship's crew. In conversing with
the captain, after lt was all over, he
told me that this storm was the worst
he had encountered within five years.
Two days later we sighted the Is
land of San Salvador, where Colum
bus first landed, nnd I doubt not but
that we were as rejoiced to see lt as
he and his erew were, for this was
the first land we had sighted since
leaving New York, though we steam
ed by without stopping. Next morn

lng brought us to Fortune Islnnd,
where we dropped anchor for a cou
ple of hours, this being the only place
In the world, so I am Informed,where
pink pearls are found. The natives
(negroes) bring them on board for
sale when they have any, but this
morning none were to be had. The
afternoon was spent In steaming
through the windward passage. Next
morning when I awoke, looking
through my window to the north, I
beheld mountains covered with green
foliage. In a few minutes I was on
deck and learned that it was across
these same mountains our own Victor
niue went on foot, imperiling his
own life at every step, but not re
turning until he saw floating in San
tiago Bay the Spanish squadron; his
report of this fact leading to Admiral
Schley's brilliant naval victory some
days later. It ls the Southern coast
of Cuba along which we are now
steaming, the entrance to the harbor
of Santiago being plainly discernable,
and some of the hulks of the Spanish
fleet ure to be seen here yet.
Sundown brought us to the quaint
city of Montego Hay, on the Island of
Jamaica. The bay Itself ls quite
beautiful, the water In Its unusual
clearness reminding me forcibly of
our limpid onie Ridge streams, for
great schools of fish could be seen
there at a depth of from 20 to 30
feet. I don't think I ever saw a pret
tier sheet of water than this, sur
rounded as lt ls on three sides by
mountains o? considerable altitude,
being covered with luxuriant tropi
cal foliage. Particularly to be noted
along the shore line were the great
cocoanut trees, palms and bananas.
We went ashore here and spent the
morning wandering through the mar
ket, which ls very similar to the mar
kets at Baltimore, New Orleans and
other cities of the States, though I
did find that they had their tobacco
twisted Into ropes, and they sold this
by the yard. From here we passed
out into the streets, which are very
narrow, the houses being built
straight up from the streets. It
seemed so strange that such should
be the custom, when In i uch a cli
mate they could have such magnifi
cent yards and lawns, as I saw flow
ers of every color, and I suppose,
variety blooming In great profusion.
Those to whom a summer climate ap
peals. I should think, would find this
an ideal spot, as the temperature the
day we were there (February 1st)
was about like our Juno days. This
seemed very strange after leaving
twelve inches of snow and sleet in
New York. The population of the
town ls 8.000, only 100 of whom are
white people, 75 of them Jews, the
remainder being negroes.
From here we steamed around the
Island to the city of Kingston, which I
has 50,000 people and ls the chief
city of the Island, though its loca
tion is not nearly so beautiful as that
of Montego Bay. We saw on every
side evidences of the terrible earth
quake they experienced twelve
months previous, many walls being
entirely demolished, while others
wen? leaning In various directions,
and still others rent with great
cracks. In the suburbs of Kingston
ls quite an up-to-date hotel, which
ls usually tilled in the winter senson
with New York and London tourists.
On all sides were to be seen all varie,
ties of tropical fruits, which could he
purchased for a mere trifle.
Two days' sailing brought us to
Colon. Panama, and the Canal Zone.
This Impressed me as being by far
the most favorable place for stopping
I have seen ?Ince leaving the United
States. The government has had
erected at convenient places camps,
or rather towns. These consist of
neat cottages, with an occasional
hotel, the porches and windows of
which are all screened, all being
lighted with electricity. Here and
there walks have been graded, and
at Cristobal I saw what I conside
one of the most beautiful driveways
I have ever seen, lt being lined at
regular intervals on either sido with
cocoanut 'trees. Of course all the
dense tropical foliage hos been cut
away, and here and there, on elevat
ed spots along the route, could be
seen the Immense petroleum tanks.

They will remain an everlasting mon
ument to the American medical pro
fession, an honor to our Republic,
not speaking ot* the solid comfort
and peace of mind lt affords the em
ployees there, for from these tanks
Hows the fluid which is used for
sprinkling the Zone, thus annihilat
ing the deadly mosquito, for th's,
with other sanitary arrangements,
has made the Isthmus habitable for
the white man.
At the city of Panama, which is
a much more progressive town lu
every way than Colon, we boarded
the Steamship Peru, thus beginning
our voyage down the west coast of
South America, and soon decided that
the Pacific Ocean was named proper
ly, for there was scarcely a ripple
all the Way down, so much more
peaceful lt is than the Atlantic.
Our next stop was Guyacjuil, the
port for the Republic of Ecuador.
Here we were not allowed to go
ashore on account of the quarantine
which existed at Lima, for yellow
fever and Bubonic plague were both
holding carnival In the city, but, as
for that matter, 1 am told that both
are plentiful In Guyaqull twelve
months In the year. And mosquitoes!
We barred our window and door, ?ind
still they came after us with lanterns.
I was told by a locomotive engineer
who had employment tb?;re on the
Guyaqull and Quito Railroad
that the company were greatly
annoyed by the mosquitoes constant
ly puncturing holes in the boilers of
their locomotives. I can't vouch for
the truthfulness of this story, but I
do say that some of them looked to
be as large as grasshoppers.
On clear days the volcano Catapaxi
ls to be seen from here. She is con
stantly belching forth fire and ashes,
and I was told by a citizen of Ecua
dor that he had frequently read a
newspaper 2 5 miles away by the light
from it.
We are next at Payta, in Northern
Peru, lt Is the port for the famous
Plura Valley, and lt is noted for its
shipments of Panama hats. By the
way, cotton ls lndl^roous to this sec
tion of Peru, and ,vhlle many foreign
varieties have been cultivated here,
none do so well, nor ls the product
so valuable, as the native tree, for
lt is truly a tree from 15 to 20 feet
In height. I havo had the privilege
of seeing some of lt growing. Ano
ther peculiarity of the country In
which it grows ls that it rains there
only once in each ten years, so I was
informed by the Secretary of Agri
culture of Peru, who happened to
be on the boat. He also told me that
they had tried to Introduce it ir other
sections of the country, but that lt
had always been a failure, so it
"'.ems that just this amount of rain
fall ls peculiarly adapted to Its prop
agation. The product is a brown
fibre, and ls used by the peasants in
their domestic weaving. An export
trade In the >*aw product has also
been established. The cotton crop
is regarded as one of Peru's most
valuable resources, though I nm in
formed that the total crop ls approxi
mately only about, two per cent of
that of the State of Mississippi.
Now on to Callao, but it might be
interesting to note in passing that
we came in view of a couple of
whales, one a monster fish; also saw
the largest flock of feathered birds
lt has ever been my privilege to see.
lt being a flock of pelicans eight or
ten miles In length, flying out to
sea, and there were thousands. I
was informed by this same Peruvian
Secretary that these birds were the
source of the far-famed Peruvian fer
tilizers.
Callao Is the principal port of
Peru. Because of its central loca
tion and excellent harbor, lt Is
through this port that most of the
nountry's products are exported, and
Its Imports distributed. Located as
lt is so near the equator, one would
expect a climate similar to that, of
, Dints located at an equal distance
from tho equator on the Atlantic.
Not so, for lt ls not tropical either In
appearance or climate, the latter be
ing modified by the dry trade winds,
hut more especially by the cold Hum
boldt current sweeping up the coast
from the Antarctic regions. The ell

mate is really delightful, there being
very little or no rainfall, and only
slight changes in the temperature
the year round.
We remained in port three or four
days, this giving us ample time to
visit Limn, the capital, only seven
miles distant. The city claims a pop
ulation of 100,000, and shows more
signs of progress, with her 30 miles
of electric street railway, than any
city I have seen in South America.
She is justly proud of what she
claims to be the first institution of
learning built on the Western hemi
sphere--the University of San Mar
cos. She also boasts of other his
toric institutions, yet with all of her
boasted institutions she ls 100 years
behind the civilized world, lt is In
one of the old cathedrals here that
the bones of Plazzaro, the Spanish
priest-sold 1er who took by conquest
all the west coast from the Incas
abottC the time Cortez was taking
Mexico, are to ht seen.
It was at Lima we witnessed our
first bull fight, and I think it was
my last, for I don't care for the sport,
If it may be styled as such. We saw
seven bulls and two horses killed.
After thoroughly exciting the bull
with red Hags, ponchas, etc., they
then infuriate him still the more by
puncturing his hide with banderillas,
which are left hanging there. Each
time this is done the multitude g^es
wild with applause, throwing their
hats, canes, etc., Into the ring. The
only time I felt like applauding was
when a bull made a cha- ge on a pica
dore and knocked him off of his
horse. About six of us Americans
were together when this happened
and we raised from our seats and
gave a good North American yell.
Every one around us looked at us In
utter amazement, but little did we
care. I was told that some time ago
they had a bull which killed seven
men before "he blt the dust." I
remarked that he should have been
saved, as more of his kind are need
ed to put a stop to the practice. Af
ter the bull ls thoroughly worried
out, the matador walks directly in
front of him, and puts an end to him
by piercing him between the shold
ers with a sword. But the most hor
rible thing connected with the bull
ring is the manner In which the
horses are treated, being brought In
blindfolded. Some one of the mata
dors will shake a red flag at the bull
and dart behind a horse. Of course
the bull charges on the horse, and I
saw great holes torn open in their
abdomens, their Intestines rolling
out and trailing In the dust of the
arena. The whole thing was most
horrible to behold.
When we returned to Callao three
of our warships had arrived, being a
part of tho fleet which had come
through the Straits of Magellan, and
1 wish to say that of all scenes of
land or sea, which lt has been my
privilege of viewing since leaving
home, none was half so beautiful to
me as the flag of my country, ns lt
floated from the masts of those war
dogs In the port of a foreign country.
Again we embark and start on our
southern journey, calling at several
uninteresting smaller ports-uninter
esting except In the manner they
loaded their cargoes on the ship.
None of them has any harbor or
docks. Consequently our steamer
would anchor about a mlle out from
shore, and they would come rowing
their cargoes out to us in boats,
which are perfect counterparts In
every respect of the old Oell fleets,
described to us In the histories of
ancient Rome. Rather interesting
at the same time cruel-was the
manner In which thoy loaded cattle.
They would throw a rope around the
horns; this was fastened to a der
rick, the engine started, and they
were literally lifted into the ship by
their horns.
Leaving the steamer at Moliendo,
taking the Peruvian Southern Rail
way, which conveyed us a cross the
desert, a very desolate, barren and
uninteresting region, except for the
sand crescents. These were perfect
crescents of sand, varying in size,
some Of them being three to four
hundred feet in length on the con
cave side, formed by the shifting of

the winds. There were thousands
of these, they being bounded on the
north and south only by the horizon,
while in the far distant east the snow
capped Andes loomed up on the hori
zon. After mauy windings up their
sides, at places being able to see six
tracks below, some of them only a
stone's throw apart, and pnssing
along the brink of canyons, we ar
rived at Auqulpa, 7,r?00 feet above
the sea, the second city in Peru, it
being noted only for its earthquakes,
as hardly 4 8 hours passes without a
tremor, the city during its history
having been twice totally destroyed.
But this Is not to be wondered nt
when two volcanoes are not far dis
tant, one of which is plainly visible
from the city.
After spending a day here we
climbed higher In the Andes, cross
ing at Cordilleras at an elevation of
14.666 feet. At the very alto ls lo
cated Lake Caclpascaua, a considera
ble sheet of water, said to be the
highest lake in the world, lt was
here that I thought of my good
friends. Col. N. B. Cary and Major
Robert Vernor, for this lake affords
excellent Ashing, and next to the
stars and stripes the scene here was
the grandest, for the earth was robed J
in green from the water's edg' up to
the very snow which capped the sur
rounding peaks, though I wa-? told by
a gentleman on board that the grass
lasted here only a few days during
the year.
Nightfall, and we are on the shores
of Lake Titicaca, the highest body
of navigable warer In the world
(12,500 feet), being about the size
of Lake Erle, and supposed to be
situated In the crater of an extinct
volcano. Next morning we awoke In
Bolivia, the roof of the world, land
nearest heaven's heights, and in
many respects closest to Hades'
depths.
Situated as Bolivia is. In the very
heart of the tropics, one would na
turally regard lt as hoing a distinct
ly tropical countr'-, but the country
has such a peculiar configuration
that every known climate I? found
within the borders of the Republic,
from the swamps of the Amazonian
and Pilcomayan jungles, giving off
their miasmlc vapors, to the frigid
Antarctic blasts, sweeping across her
eternally covered snow-capped moun
tains. This ls due to the great alti
tude of the Andes, which are divided
into two ranges, passing North and
South, enclosing between them the
gr*?at Pampas of Eastern Bolivia.
These Pampas with Tibet, if I mis
take not, have the distinction of be
ing the highest inhabited regions of
the world. Eastward of the Cordil
leras Hes Bolivia's portion of the
Amazonian and Pilcomayan basins.
This region ls indeed tropical, por
tions of it densely timbered, being
watered by the southeast trrfde
winds. These winds to a considera
ble extent lose their moisture in
passing over the cool summits of the
Andes. As a consequence the Pam
pas'* (my location) have six months
cold, dry season, and six months cold,
wet season. It is simply cold in the
shade all the time, though out In the
sunshine scorching hot; In fact, the
climate In this section could not be
worse were lt made to order. The
thermometer at this season usually
registering 85 to 90 degrees Fahren
heit at 2 p. m. and 15 to 20 degrees
Fahrenheit at 5 a. m. It is not unu
sual for lt to reach zero dally in tho
morning, but strange to sny none of
the houses have any provision for
heating, for the simple reason they
hnve no fuel other than the dung of
the Llama. The supply being limited
lt ls saved for cooking purposes.
There ls no timber nor anything green
growing up here-only a few Irish
potatoes, which aro very small, and
some cebada, which never matines,
the season being too short. AU the
plowing ls done with wooden plows,
to which are hitched two oxen, they
being fastened to the plow by the
horns. Everything Is done here in a
very primeval way. If Chris! should
visit the earth again and land In Bo
livia He would think He was in Judea
as he loft it 2,000 years ago. Thero
grows on the rampa In spots a sort
of wire grass, which ls apparetnly

ni ways dead, yet the Llamas seem to
like it, as I frequently see them feed
ing on it. In fact everything at this
altitude is dwarfed, even the people
being very small. Not long since I
saw a regiment drawn up, and I
have no Idea the soldiers would av
erage over five feet four inches in
height. Yet we are only four or five
'.days by burro from the Yungas,
where all fruits and vegetables grow
abundantly, and Mle people are lar
ger- they are also afflicted with all
the fevers to which the human family

Cough Remedy. And lt ls so thor
oughly harmless that Dr. Snoop tells
mothers to use nothing else, even
for very young babies. The whole
