HELEN: Hi, Ann. Haven’t seen you for ages. Where have you been? I wondered what had become of you.

100

ANN: Oh, I’ve had a most exciting experience. The fact is, Dad took me on a cruise round Europe.

H.: How wonderful! I suppose you’ve seen lots of interesting things. Where did you sail from?

A.: From Plymouth.

H.: What luck! For me, there is no travel so fine as by ship. I love to feel the deck of the ship under my feet, to feel the fresh sea wind blowing in my face. Did you call at any European ports?

A.: We did. At each port we went ashore and made the most wonderful trips into the depths of the country.

H.: By railway or car?

A.: By coach. I was happy that I had seen Rome, Paris and Athens. H.: Did you have a pleasant voyage?

A.: Rather fine, except two days after Gibraltar. It was rough in the Atlantic, and I had to keep to my cabin.

H.: As to me, I’m not sea-sick. Did you go ashore in Spain? A.: No, we didn’t. We only saw the coast from the deck. H.: And did you bathe in the Mediterranean Sea?

A.: Not only there, but in the Atlantic Ocean too. There are wonderful beaches at some places on the west coast of France. Swimming is delightful there.

H.: Well, I’m glad that your voyage was a success. And I’m going to cruise the Nile River aboard the Sun Boat IV. The 11-day package offers the Pyramids, Sphinx, etc. By the 25th of November I will have been to Egypt because the special rates are for November 25 departure. The $9 air fare is from major England cities.

A.: With whom will you cruise?

H.: With my sister. We’ve bought a last-minute 2-for-1 package. A.: Have a nice cruise!

This includes a three-to seven-night cruise, a four-night stay at a hotel, and an excursion to the Indian market. The price varies according to the number of nights.

C.: Oh, it’s interesting. What about a discount for children? T.A.: Children under 12 get a 50% discount.

C.: But I’m worried about the accommodation. I’ve heard the cabins are very small and stuffy. I want a bit of fresh air.

T.A.: You can get a state-room.

C.: What about the facilities in the room?

T.A.: Well, you can watch TV, listen to music on the multi-chan- nel radio. There is a telephone if you want to speak to friends back home, a personal safe and a fridge for drinks as well.

C.: There’ll be three of us. What cabin would you recommend for us?

T.A.: If there are three of you I think you’ll have a suite. C.: OK, and is it available?

The young man on the office stool looked at me pityingly. “The Star? She’s not due from the west till the beginning of July.

She won’t sail again before the 8th or 9th.”

“But it says here” (I produced my official letter) “the United States Government says here, in this letter from Washington, that the Star is scheduled — ”

The clerk brushed aside my letter from Washington and myself. He turned abruptly to a Filipino boy at the counter.

“No. The Curaçao’s full up this trip. You can’t get a passage to Kodiak before the 26th.”

“Does the Curaçao sail for Kodiak on the 26th?” — I asked. The clerk dismissed the Filipino, attended to some private corre-

spondence, and then seeing that I was still waiting for an answer, came back to the counter.

“If you want to spend a couple of weeks on Kodiak,” he admitted grudgingly, “you can take the Curaçao when she comes back. She is due in on the 26th. She might sail out and she might not.”

“Is the Star sure to call at Kodiak on the way to Unalaska?” “She’ll call there all right. She always calls there.”

“Is there anywhere to stay in Kodiak?”

104

“I guess so. There’s a hotel in Kodiak, ain’t there, Joe? Or you can stop at one of the canneries”. He appealed to the Filipino boy, who still lingered. It seemed that there was a hotel in Kodiak — a good one under new management. There were also flowers there. “Lot’s of them. More than at Seward.”

“I’ll book you for Kodiak,” said the clerk brusquely, taking up his pen.

I produced a long green ticket, purchased at Seattle, furnishing transport to Unalaska from Seward via S.S. Star.

The clerk looked at it. “It’ll cost you six dollars extra by the Curaçao,” he remarked.

“I don’t see”.

“She’s better boat, better berths, you’ll be a night on board. Better book you. She’s always full this time of year.”

He took up his pen, wrote my name in his ledger, and dismissed further remonstrance by returning to his work in the back office.
