UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA New York 1940 THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Morro Castle, Havana Ruins of Sans Souci, The Royal Palace of Henri Christophe, Haiti In memory of mV FflTHR who also loved to travel PRGFRC6 THE stories of this reader represent, in the main, actual experiences of the author on a freighter trip around the Caribbean. In a few instances, as the boat did not stop at some of the ports mentioned in the text, the author secured first hand information from friends who had re cently visited these places and used their actual experiences as the basis for the narrative. The details of the stories which are most likely to be challenged are authentic. The authors mother, at the request of the captain, wrote the funeral service which is translated into Spanish in lesson 19. Furthermore, she did this In approximately fifteen minutes or the length of time it took for the boat to lose headway at sea. Although, the events retold in the reader actually hap pened, title author has taken care to conceal the identity of those who played the parts hi real life, or so to change the name, physical appearance, personal characteristics, and nationality of one or another that any resemblance is superficial. The author wishes to express his deep appreciation of the help given him by numerous friends at various stages in the preparation of this reader. Dr. Doris King Arjona of John D.
