Theodore Roosevelt continues his journey to Africa, having been welcomed at several stops throughout the trip. Messina was a disaster in the wake of the recent earthquake, and Roosevelt was extremely proud of the small group of United States Navy men who were performing their jobs admirably and efficiently.
