 electrician and philosopher. Dr. Jamie Jamieson has 

 made the item — Humorous and Able Scotch Surgeon — an

 strong an attraction as Haiti and the Haitians. Our 

 anchorage might have been a box at the first night of some 

 wonderful performance, so numerous were the unexpected 

 thrills. The Marquis de Pinedo in his ill-fated Santa 

 Maria Italian plane taxied near us on his arrival, and the 

 next morning took off. His plane was burned later at 

 Roosevelt Dam, Arizona. The Good Will Flyers landed 

 almost under our bows, one after the other, and cached 

 their planes at the Naval Station a hundred yards away. 

 I took Captain Eaker, pilot of the San Francisco, out to 

 Sand Cay, where he dived time after time, deeming it
