Abstract :
Our sister society, the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, is arranging for a midwinter cruise in the West Indies, leaving New York on January 25, 1928, on the 28,000-ton steamship Lapland and returning February 19, after visiting Havana, Kingston, the Panama Canal, Curacao, with a side trip to the oil fields of Venezuela, Puerto Cabello, La Guayra, and Bermuda. The cruise is specifically under the auspices of the Petroleum Division, but it may be found possible to offer some A. I. E. E. members opportunity to participate in this delightful 23-day midwinter cruise, (the cost of which will be from $250 up, according to accommodations desired).
