. A trip through Italy, Sicily, Tunisia, Algeria and southern France. noticed largeswamps, their desert sands covered with sagebrush and cactus; the villages also which we passedare fairly clean, but not numerous, consistingmainly of small collections of one-story, white-washed houses. In the fields lonely huts were tobe seen, built of brush and mud, and in every casesurrounded by a wall of wooden stakes to keep outthe wild beasts at night. Their inhabitants alsoshowed good grace in allowing us room to pass, which was a welcome change and marked im-provement on the behavior of the Italians we hadjust left behind us. The small boys also are ad-mirably well behaved, for the whole day passedwithout a stone being thrown at us. The main line of the railroad, which runs fromTunis in a southerly direction, touches Sousseand Sfax, and then runs inland to the mines atGafsa. It is a narrow-gauge line, fairly well con-structed, and is owned by a company which, Ibelieve, operates it in connection with its mininginterests. It is mainly used for carrying ore, for [48]. m Om <o THROUGH TUNIS AND ALGIERS there is very little passenger traffic. Touristsshould exercise great caution in running downthis road, because the grade crossings are frequentand are absolutely unguarded. As we sped southward, we noticed high moun-tains some thirty miles inland on our right. Thefew small ponds which we passed now and thenwere almost always surrounded by camels and largeflocks of wild birds. Ninety-one kilometers fromTunis we passed a splendid old Roman tower, andcame across some ancient foundations obviouslydating back to the same period as the tower. We found the roads during the days run to beexceedingly good, resembling in every respect thegrand national highways in France. The well-maintained signposts make it practically impossi-ble to miss the way, and with the assistance of theinvaluable Guide Joanne, with its mmierousroads map, motor travel in Tunisia is exceedinglyagreeable.
