Side Trip to Montreal
Planned by Applegate
While Waiting on Boat
New York City, July It. W3.
To tb Editor:
Tha ApplegBW-BfMl theme song
has sgaln changed; t "l C0
tha waterfront." and now to "CooO
bye Broadway. hello Montreal." We're
going to Canada. And we're going
tonight. I must get.thia written,
and then away we go. It waa all
Tery audden, and la a long atory.
Here It la:
After walking about the waterfront
for daya on end without success, we
drug our weary bonea home one night
with all Intentions of doing the aame
for as many more daya as It might
take to get out on a boat. As I
mentioned before, we were no longer
particular as to where we went, we
had one promise for a Job to Ant
werp the latter part of August, so
iv In bed. exhausted, we be
gan to long for the wide open spacea
of our own western wjiw.
Hii.vd a alde-trlD to Canada as
a cure for our home sickness. The
. talked, the more excited
we became. At first It was to be a
hltch-hlklng Jaunt to the border,
r wo decided to make It a bi
cycle trip to Montreal. Then the
problem as to getting the packs on
a bicycle, and we abandoned .that In
favor of an old model "I"" .Fort.
The next morning we went ahop
plng for one. and not a single, soU
tarv Ford of ancient enough vintage
could we find. Finally we ran across
a Dodge sedan, an early twenty
seven model, with swell tires, good
paint, and fair upholstery. The mo

He's out getting the motor tuned
up before we leave. At least thsfs

that he's Just grimly trying to learn

never heard of such a thing, and
thought that we were Just kidding
when we smrgested It. The wster
was swell, while In a service se
tlon in Port Jervls, N. T.. we picked
up two hitch-hikers who were coun
sellers at a Catholic summer camp
nearby. They told us about a lit
tle lake a mile or so from theirs,
where we could csmp. As we pulled
off the main road on the side-road
leading to the camp, they warned
me to drive slowly, as the road was
terribly steep and crooked. It was
about like East Main street; leading
out to Hlllcrestl We let them oft
at their camp, and drove on to the
whfra we were to stay. l
u-nji beautiful. The moon shining
on the water and the hard-wood
trees making a Jet-black wall ell
around the edges. We parked the
car. which had run beautifully all
the way up, under some big trees,
hnllt a fire, and Don cooked sup-
Tn Kit nerfectlv truthful, he
burned It. but that would be telling.
This lob esrned for him the title
nt "Chef." and now he wants to
ret a cooks hat for this Canada trip I
Aftr Mitnner. we went down to
the lake for a plunge. We found
a small dock, with a row boat tied
up. and a diving raft moored about
fifty yards offshore. Lou Tennere
Jllo, the Italian kid from New York
became cnptaln of our ship and Ken
ny Myera the skipper. The two
names Bre synonomous. but -we must
have peace In the family. The third
New Yorker waa an official, tug
boat, while Don and Dick, had a
ewell time stowing away to "Eur
ope," which to most people would
look like a very ordinary raft. But
not to Don and Dick. This getting
to Europe has become a phobia with :
us. -I
After exhausting ourselves - in the j
water, we retired, Renny curling up ,
. In the back of the car, and. the two
"Lou's" and the two adventurers on
the ground outside. I forgot to In

a friend of mine. Mr. Lou Meyers.

IN LOS ANGELES
It's The
SIXTH and SPRING STREETS
on with this story: We settled our
selves for the night, and the next
morning we were awakened at dawn
by an outraged property owner who
claimed we had kept her awake all
night, and that If we weren't gone
In half an hour, we'd have the pol
ice to contend with. - The poor cops
around here! - They must lead a hell
of a life I
We moved on to another lake, and
spent the day cooking dinner and
awimmlng and eating the dinner af
ter It was cooked. This strenuous
daya labor so exhausted us that we
decided to leave for the city about
five In the afternoon. We'd have
been home by nine, except for one
thing. We ran Into a traffic Jam
forty miles from New York, and had
to proceed at a crawl all the way
home. It was terrible.
Tonight we are all ready to leave.
We Intend to go up through Mon
treal, In the general direction of
Hudson Bay from there, and so on
up till we hit a place that we'd like
to camp. After a few weeks of that.
we're coming back, and we have It
all arranged to go abroad soon as we
get back. It waa arranged by Joe
Hurd'a friend, Ben Robinson, of. the
Herald Tribune, whom I mentioned
last week. ...
He told us he had a friend In
mercantile law firm, who had a lot
of drag with shipping mrn, and
that he'd take us up to meet him.
He took us up to the New York
Athletic dub, . a very swanky club,
by the by, and we had a decidedly
eventful evening. On the way - up
we saw Prlmo Camera walking up
Broadway. He was Juat ahead of us
for several blocks. Gosh. : he's big.
My dad looks tall enough, but this
guy looks even taller. You'd have
gotten a kick out of watching the
people stare at him. He dropped
a nickel he was trying to put In
beggar's cup. I suppose It would be
ungracious to. suggest that he did
it for publicity, wouldn't It?
, At the athletic club we met Cap
tain Sheridan, a direct descendant
of the Civil war Sheridan, and be
promised to get us a boat to Eur
ope, but .not before late August or
September. Hence the Canada trip
We also met Mr. Deegan, head man
of the Grace steamship line to South
Aroerlcs. And also Boss Currey. of
Tammany Hall. There were about
ten big shots and Don and I. sitting
around In a circle on the balcony
overlooking Central Park, chewing
the fat. It was thrilling. Don asked
Currey what he did for a living,
and Currey said, "Oh, I'm an engin
eer!" . I wish he'd engineer a Job
on a boat around the world for us,
While we were sitting there talking
about Hitler, Devalera, Trotsky, Mus
solini, religion, science, and anything
else you might think of. the new
dirigible "Macon," slster-sblp of the
unfortunate Akron, flew over. It was
her first trip to the city. Her lights
were all blinking at regular Inter
vals In a signal of welcome to the
multitudes. She looked smaller than
the Akron, which I saw at Lakehurst
last year. They say she looks
smaller because she Is of much larger
girth. It destroys that long slender
effect bo perfect In the also unfor
tunate Shenandoah.
. During the coarse of the evening
we also met the author of "Birds
of Paradise," one of -the first books
printed about . Ball- Ben .Robinson
has been to Ball, and knows Andre
Roosevelt, who filmed the . ptcture
"Goons-aoona," which so thrilled
Bob Colvlg and Nooks Naumes when
at the State theatre In Medford. He
also knows the guy. who wrote the
best seller, "Grain Race We'd have
met him too. only be .In Sweden
on a trip to gather new material.
Last Sunday we got an ad tn the
Herald Tribune, for companion to
ahare expenses on the trip north.
It ran tbusly: Two college men (!)
from coast on news writing adven
ture around world, planning side
trip to Canada, want companions
to ahare expenses. Equipment fur
nished." So far no one that we'd
have along has shown up. If they
want to go they'd better hurryl
Last week we tried to stow away
on the boat to Antwerp, and after
offering half the crew money to (tow
us away and keep their mouth abut
about It, and meeting with no suc
cess, we finally found a guy who
had a friend who had given a stew
ard on the Red Diamond line a few
dollars to put him In the cabin. That
sounded like something up our al
ley, so we dashed down to bead-
quarters and got passe to go aboard
the "Minncwaska." a twenty tnous
and ton liner for Prance, England,
and Belgium. The crew waa entirely
English. We asked for the steward
and were Informed that he was at
tha "rices." Sounds like a new game,
doesn't It? It meana "races,, over

Hinsiishmen were allowed to work
on the boat. I wish some American
boats were that thoughtful of Amer

hasn't been In dock since we've been
here, and the George Washington,

Since we've had the Dodge, we've
been stopped by the trafllo cops
five times. The traffic Is terrible
here, and the signals are lousy. You
can't tell where to go. and no mat

you're wrong, so now we Just go

we were right, and we haven't been
