From Santa Marta, one can go to Fundador by rail, H} 
Fundador, one can wait for a truck ttat goes 'to KioJtaob*. 
Trips are irregular. Cars are not ootainab_e f 
Between Aruba and Rio Haeha and Pto. Estrella, “f 
sailing vessel connections, a number of them with a ^ 
motors^ among Captains doing that route is one whom I know 
“u«e ieS! He has 3 wives in Goajira, plus his ^ded^ife 
whn travels with him from time to time# I^might 
able to arrange the loan of one of these wives^for Dr. 
if he should happen here at an opportune time.. Kid g 
aqide I thought that sailing vessels were quite frequenu 
tnd ?egular? fnd I still think so notwithstanding Polvliet-s 
(that is the chap who went to DutcfAiriines) information 
Cfso^uSesI offsets go by ^hodt any vessel because 
this Harry the captain mentioned above) has not stayed in

I believe it would be more trouble to get out of that^section 
than going in because coming back the ships have_to t ak and 
again!? the current, and they might be 
?hi?gs like that. Going in, their cargo is mainly food pro 
ducts, silks and things like that.
