...elephants must go south why not take them to Georgia where there is little to amuse the population except an occasional lynching? That Georgia should get them is but another example of the supreme unfitness of things. Nor, it might be added, is Coral Gables any place for a self-respecting hyena. If P. T. Barnum were alive he would realize that there is a place for all things--and that in its present condition Florida is no place for a menagerie...
...broke an oil pump and burned out its motor. Another motor was fetched and installed, the other planes waiting. Leaving Guatemala City, the New York made a forced landing and lost its ground gear.* Taxiing out of Balboa harbor, off for Colombia, the San Antonio was snagged on a coral reef and the St. Louis had engine trouble. The cripples were mended, but the San Antonio again fell behind with engine trouble before Guayaquil, Ecuador, was reached.

Nassau, capital of the Bahamas, is a hard place to leave. Winter visitors "miss the boat" (back to the U. S.) surprisingly often. Nassau is warm. Nassau is wet. The sun, striking through Nassau's clear ocean shallows to coral bottom, paints them a variety of shore-sea greens and blues to which not even a penny postcard can do justice. When the Munson liner Munargo anchors outside the bar-guarded harbor and the stubby tender puts out from town with homegoers, people on shore feel sorry for people on the tender.
