" Steamers Among Clouda The Pacific Steam Na\·igatlon com· pany's motor ship La Paz recently left Liverpool for South America. In her hold was packed a complete steamship, capable of carrying 100 passengers and heavy cargo. At Mol· lendo, in Peru, ali these thousands of plates, rivets, funnels, boilers, en· gines, fittings, and furniture were to be repacked into trains and carried 220 miles to Puna, on the shores of Lake Titicaca, 12,500 feet above the sea, where the ship was to be assem· bled for entering the lake service. This is the ei!)hth steamer to be sent to Puno in this way ; the first was sent in 1861. Fatigue is the signal to rest. Obey it if you can. When you can't, keep cool and carry-on in comfort.
