REYNOLDSVILLE BOY VISITS RUINS OF ANCIENT GREECE Duncan DunBtnore Writes Entertainingly of Historic Spots Visited While Cruising in the Mediterranean. Taken from a letter written to D. M. Dunsmore, Sr. from Duncan M. Duns more, Jr., dated Piraeus, Greece, Oct. 3, 190K: "After a two days run from Palermo, Italy, we arrived hero yesterday. On our way here I saw to groat sights one, the active volcano, "Stromboli" and the other Mt. Etna. The first is an is land while the latter Is on Sicily. I only saw the base of Mt. Etna as the top was wreathed In clouds. It is over two miles high and an active volcano. It is said that the ancients put con demned criminals on Stromboli and they porinhcd from the lava. We pass ed botweer Crete and Greece on our way here and after parsing there the "West Virginia" and "Pennsylvania" joined us coming from Naples. Piraeus, (Py-ree-us) is a small town eight miles from Athens, both are clearly visible from each other, they are connected by a steam aud an electric railway run on the third rail system. I went ashore yesterday and went right to Athens, getting there about 2.00 p. m. Fortunately a Greek saw me who had lived in Haverhill, Mass., for three years and of course I was greatly benefited by his English speaking abil ities; he acted as a guide for me. Ho is going back to America on the White Star lino. The first place we went to was the King's Palace, and for its grandeur it is beyond description. I saw the great throne room for King George, the different reception rooms and a great hall for card playing and danolng and many other amuse ments. I cannot describe it for the doo . orations were something great. I was not in the living apartments and did not seethe King. After leaving there we went to the Stadium, which T suppose you have read about. It looks a great deal like a dry dock, it fills up a great alloy and is composed entirely of mar ble, opening into it is a tunnell used by the Greeks in hiding from the Turks in their anoiont wars. Leaving the stadi um we went to the Temple of Jupiter. It is made of enormous columns, some are faMen down you will see in the postal card. From there we went to the Acropolis, which you can see up on the hill. The greatest ruin there is the Parthenon; it must have been a magnificent structure once, as the ruins show. In a museum near by are the re mains of the statues taken from the Parthenon and also models of how it was. On the wall still remain some paint that has lasted for 20 centuries. At the foot of the Aoropolie is the Ampitbeater shown on the card. On top are the statues of Godesses; Horods Theater and the other ruins are on the Acropolis and I saw them all. Right near the Acropolis is Mars Hill from which St. Paul preached while in Athens. It was about the finest four or five hours I ever spent and certalniy profitable. 1 got a good bed through my guide and had a good nights rest and next morning I came back to Pi raeus and got back aboard on time. Do not ever class the Italians and Greeks together bb I did before I came here. Italy is full of buggers, tbeives and pickpockets, and I never saw as much as a begger here. The people are thrif ty and industrious and in every way su perior to the Italians. The "Glacier" supply ship, one of the vessels taking the "Dewey" to the Philllpim s Is on her way back to the States. Wo leave for Port Said, the northern ntranco to the Suez Canal, in a day or two.
