In three weeks I had gone through the Panama Canal and had reached San Francisco, and in four weeks more I had crossed the worlds widest, most peaceful, and bluest ocean, the Pacific. There, like a string of pearls hanging from the golden Equator, I found thousands of wonderful islands of all sizes, but only two of them are very large. I found also my new and kind young friends: Fil; his sister Filippa; Fi Tsboy playmate named Moro, who came from the large southern island ;their parents and friends; and the good Padre.
