11 thlR K i *H. ftblv without doubt, the iWMessor. of . Uic only ancient wall* which still re tain their aha|>e. are still unbroken, and stliL*erve In some measure as a part of-the city'a life. Campeche.- th* ancient capital of the penitentiary colony of Yucatan Is .to-day surrounded by the same walls which the.Spanish garrisons of the vice regal days erected In the substantial fashion of the past as a protection against maraud Ing Indlatjs / and organized bands of Spanish and Mexican tonv lets. Campeche Is one of the mosl_ Inter estlng of hot country capitals. Once the greaP outlet of the rich peninsula 'of Yucatan, the city |s now but little more than a quiet hot-country town. Campeche Is on? of the oldest capitals of Mexico Although the chief port of the criminal colony of Yucatan. (he histories tell also of Us exports of the riches of the tropics to : ports of Europe. It was

most prominent In the eyes of seamen as the last sight of Mexico, often of America, in the long trip across the Atlantic. As such, it was a port which was watched closely by the pirates who Infested the sea. In those days when the broad American waters w« known as the "Spanish Main." -To it came the rich Spanish galleons Vera Crux and Coatzacoalcos. and from It, with enriched' cargoes, they sailed for Cuba and for Spall a great city in those days, when .the ships could come close Into Us shallow but well protected harbor, and such If was well guarded and - g rtsoned. The work on the wall was begun In 169!. and an Inscription over the principal gat**tates that It was completed In 1769. haring been 77 years In building. In form and walls spread over an Irregular seven-sided polygon, with bastions at each of the corners; and masslVe octagonal forts at the water's edge. The walls are eight meters, or 26 feet high, and are four meters 12 H feet thick, all of solid masonry, apparently as strong today as .when they were-Milt, with the exception of the four or five places where the walls hsve been thrown down to make for roads communicating with the side. > A moat, now almost obliterated, once surrounded the walls, and was : added protection from surprise. It worthy of note that In the accom presented to Carlos IV l n 1769. the cost of the fortlBcatlons of Campeche are placed at *2is.024. As the only walled dty In Mexico. Campeche demands a very special-at-tention, but when it Is realized that those walls are perfect, that their gray, softening grimness is real and not a stage effect, and that old Spain Itaelf has no more romantic picturea tbfA, those to be- found about those walls, one feels -that the sight Is worth the long trip, and even worth the walks )n the sun (thottgli it Is easy to let the sun convince one otherwise). The Irownlng bastions of the corners, where once protruded the old Iron camions which are now stack muzzle-down In the corners of the gates, the forward walla of the i gate, where riflemen coaid pick the parties of attacking Indians convicts, and the rare old main g*’Uself. with Its little lookout, the balcony windows from which the challenges once came, are all which one does not realize c ccxntered anywhere but In Europe Yet . here In Campeche they stand, as romantic and silent and natural though they had been built in days of El Cld and not In the more prosaic epoch of Charles the Fourth, when walls were a question tectlon. and chivalry was of the type of Don Quixote.
