The last "Way Station" of the "Resolute 1936 PM
Cruise Around the World has been reached, acable
gram having been received today that the arrival at
was on time after a
passage from Gibraltar. About half the passengers
had disembarked at European ports for a supple-
mental trip on the Continent before returning home.
STA
MAY IF
Today the passengers who are returning direct to
New York are enjoying the sem-tropical beauty of
Madeira and riding in the amusing bullock sleds
on oiled runners, which unique conveyance was
developed because of the difficulty of horse-drawn
wheeled vehicles negotiating the steep hills. They
also doubtless are buying the charming Madeira
drawnwork if the Oriental merchants have left
any odd change in their purses!

FUNCHAL, capital of Madeira, is a city where the streets
are so steep that wheeled vehicles are rarely used, sledges
pulled by oxen being safe substitutes. Here Columbus
came twenty years before he discovered America and
was married to Menina Perestrello, a mariner's daughter.
He got his first knowledge of a sailor's life from his father-
in-law. It was from papers picked up here from a ship-
wrecked crew that he got his ideas of the lands across the seas.
