Description:Excerpt from The Bulletin of the Geographical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 16: January-October, 1918 Mollendo is another Chala, with bigger rocks extending further around from the point of the hook. In the rocks a trough-like narrow place has been made into which cargo and passengers are taken in boats or launches to he landed. There is a stairway - la escala - incredibly near the surf-dashed rocks, but we went into the slip and were hoisted in a chair by a steam derrick, which one mounts, nicely timing the boat's upwards and downwards shoots as the surf rolls in. The tracks of the Ferrocarriles del Sur come right to this slip, and by the station a cobbled incline leads up into the town, which has rather a mining camp appearance, built, even to the church, of painted boards. It seems there are four or five thousand people and about forty foreigners. The place derives its importance from the fact that it is the shipping point for the wool and alpaca for which Arequipa is the entrepot, as well as the port of import for a tremendous region - and also is used by Bolivia as a port of import and export more than is Arica or Antofagasta. Even here is the usual plaza, this time paved with ags and grown with carefully planted and fostered palm trees, with some owers. The plaza habit and the care with which these places of popular consolation are maintained are among the commendable things in these countries. At P. M. Our train started. The road led for several miles right along the beach, about two or three hundred yards from where the surf broke, and anked most of the way by an ugly wall of sand-covered conglomerate material, from which here and there a huge chunk lay isolated on the sandy beach, this wall marking the beating of the waves a while ago and being, but for an occasional dried-up weed and curious domelike patches of evergreen looking stuff (even it killed in spots by the sad conditions), quite barren.
