Famous Brazilian Seaport.

The first of the Important seaports of Brazil that are accessible from New York is Belem, the capital of the state of Para. It ranks as the fifth in size, but to the tourist it Is of surpassing Interest because It is situated on the Para river, the southern or commercial mouth of the Amazon, “that mightiest and most majestic of all the rivers of the world.” writes Harry Weston Van Dyke In his “Through South America.”
