CYPRUS From Famagusta we visited such historical spots as the ancient city of Salamis ami St. Barnabus ' tomb. In the city, which is sur- r. .mi. I. .1 by a wall and moat, we toured such attractions as Othello ' s tower, whence came the basis of Shakespearf s tragedy, and a 14th Century Gothic Cathedral. Here we found some of our British friends, sailors the world over b«long to the same fraternity and visits to their shijis strengthened thf tir- bi-tween the men of our two great maritime nations. Recreation id the form of baseball and swimmimg partie Mere available and the latter provided a welcome relief from the heat during the day.
