Tours to the ancient Roman city of Hippone and to the Basilica of St. Augustin were popular. Bone itself was surprisingly modern. The European town lay to the west of the native quarter, behind the beautiful tree-lined Cours Jerome Bretagna, and was laid out in a geometrical pattern with straight and wide streets. The principal buildings, including the Town Hall, Law Courts, Cathedral, and Theatre, all were centered in or near the Cours Jerome Bretagna which was continued northward by the Boulevard Narbonne to the garden suburbs of Beause Jour, Menadia and Frais Vallon and the seaside resort of St. Cloud-les-Plages. French culinary art was at its best in the many good restaurants and cafes such as the National, Le Petit Mousse, Le Taverne Alsaciene, and the Grand Hotel et d'Orient with its plush dining room and breezy sidewalk cafe. gnmaw.,,,,..--.--.

Chief Henderson accepted, Captain Williams arranged an interview with the President's Naval Aide, and the story, concerning a gift from on admirer in France, ended happily.
