Under the Southern cross in South America . ears ago to commemorate areligious agreement between the natives and the Indians, and thatthe place where it now attracts the attention of the sea-going touristis the scene of annual reHgious solemnities which are attended bymany of the faithful and devout from the surrounding country.

Probably there is no worst, as the one to which we were brought. BIT OF MOLLENDO HARBOR
