Many small steamers and gasoline launches ply on the bay and the Grand Canal, but only gondolas and canoes can go through the smaller canals. This is indeed a city built on the sea. The Campanile, which fell, is being re- built and is up to the tower. St. Mark's Church here is one of the many fine churches of Italy, and like others has many valuable ceiling and mural paintings by some of the great masters. The Doges Palace has many very fine pictures on the walls. The many fine stores around th...e St. Mark's Square — under a covered arcade — are very attractive and cause many Almericans to part with their dollars. Trieste, Austria, is just across the Adriatic Sea — sixty miles over — and on Tuesday we go over by steamer, to take a steamer from there— the Palacky — for our jour- ney down the Adriatic to Brindisi — the island of Corfu — then to Patras, Greece, and then by rail through Greece to Corinth and Athens, and from there to Constantinople, where we may be able to see something of the new regime.
