This Day in History: 1934-08-31

Miss Grace Elliot returned from a Caribbean cruise much impressed by what she had seen. She and two friends from Long Island sailed on August 18th. They stopped at St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, Curacao, Port au Prince Haiti, and a place called, in the newspaper account, “La Guayas” where they took a delightful train trip to the interior capital of “Caracero, Ven.”, before returning to New York. Assuming the “Ven.” means Venezuela the only thing I can figure is that they landed at La Guatra and went by train to Caracas. Perhaps a reader can come up with a better suggestion. (Bristow)
