V(.'»-j- -»- - ;>jl , f'l i MMtii ;'v;?;5?s^^S: Ihes c/-^f ( ruise IF the success of a World Cruise depends on the ship—and it certainly does—then the success of our cruise around the world on the Empress of Britain—Queen of the Seas—is a foregone conclusion! The final word in luxurious magnificence! From stem to stern... from keel to masthead... perfect in every last detail. The cruise ship ideal. No matter how much we have travelled, on what ship, or where—this is different... the perfection that is the outcome of Canadian Pacific demand for super-excellence. At every port our ship creates a furore of interest. The finest vessel ever to make a world cruise . . . Our arrival is the event of the year! Of course, wed find an open-hearted welcome anyway, but to arrive on the Empress of Britain! ... flagship of the Canadian Pacific!!... No matter how outlying the place may be, "Canadian Pacific" is the password... the Open Sesame. Everywhere the service is superior ... the courtesy more pronounced ... and if there is anything better than the best... it is ours... for are we not the honoured guests of the World's Greatest Travel System . . . cruising on the world's most palatial cruise ship! The Taj Mahal Written by Gladys M. Gowlland Ma, First Class Apartment No. 149 'THER ships of similar sise carry three, four and five thousand passengers, when in the trans-Atlantic service. The Empress of Britain accommodates only 1182 passengers, while the accommodation on the World Cruise is strictly limited to about one-third that number. No cramping anywhere on this splendid vessel—758 feet in length, a breadth of 97.5 feet, ten decks, 42,500 tons gross register, and displacement tonnage of 63,750 . . . an average speed of 24 knots . . . single reduction gear turbines which develop 64,000 h.p. For four months this floating palace is to be our home! What a home! Let's walk around and see for ourselves. The first thing that strikes us is the astonishing spaciousness—the sweeping deck space—the extravagance of public-room space, and the airy comfortable spaciousness of all the stateroom apartments. 151 The Salle Jacques Cartier HI T^e? Empress Room Ti HE Lounge Deck, more than three-fourths the length of the ship, is a series of graciously luxurious, richly harmonious Public Rooms, designed by some of the foremost artists in the world. Enormous rooms . . . where we shall spend enchanted hours and enjoy life to the full. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Of course, we can't go on for ever, but for over one-third of a year we shall thrill to the exquisite beauty of our world-encircling home. There's the Empress Room—a symphony of blue, pink, and silver, forty feet by seventy, where we dance on the resilient floor . . . overhead a domed ceiling resembling the blue vault of heaven, twinkling with stars and planets. Tall silver standards topped with clusters of pink ostrich feathers flood the room with soft light. Windows stretch from floor to ceiling, draped in pink velvet fringed in silver, while the orchestra platform is hung with blue velvet scintillating with lights. In this room, too, we enjoy concerts and talking pictures, but to dance here to the strains of a lilting waits, or vivacious jaw! . . . A surpassingly beautiful room, designed by that master artist, Sir John Lavery. 161 •lilf&KI J \EXT we'll visit Mayfair, largest of all the great rooms, eighty- three feet long. A radiantly attractive lounge, conducive to ease and contentment, a galaxy of luxurious easy chairs, cosy chesterfields, Persian rugs. An art skylight of amber glass, green marble pilasters ornamented in bronze, woodwork of rich walnut, curtains of silk damask, concealed lights. At one end a concert stage with a background of Gobelin tapestry, at the other a green marble mantle over a glowing fireplace. Restful, cheerful, a ravishing harmony of green, mulberry, and gold, the style authentic Renaissance, a noble apartment, carried out by Sir Charles Allom. The Salle Jacques Cartier—extending the full width of the ship, and notable as the largest unpillared room afloat—is decoratively resplendent ... the creation of Frank Brangwyn. Two enormous murals from the brush of this master add to the artistic appeal of this regal dining saloon, which is finished in natural oak. It is a perfect setting for the perfection of Canadian Pacific cuisine. In addition there are two private dining rooms—Salle Montcalm and Salle Wolfe—just as harmoniously decorated as the main room.

An innovation in Smoking Rooms—the Cathay Lounge 1 HE Cathay Lounge is an entirely original conception in smoking rooms. A rhapsody of ash grey, lacquer red, and black ... intriguing, distinctive, product of the genius of Edmund Dulac . . .an intermingling of Oriental colour and design, and Occidental comfort. The upholstery is light red... walls, pillars, and ceiling of grey with touches of red and black. At one end, a modernistic glass reflector frames a fireplace which is flanked by an open bar. A strikingly handsome room, the essence of originality and comfort, where genial folk gather and good fellowship reigns. I 12 1 For those who would read or write—the Library 1 HERE's the Library—voted by some to be the gem of the ship. Walls of Circassian walnut hung with tapestries. Shelves filled with literature of all kinds, deep easy chairs, a direct invitation to sink back and devour a thrilling novel or adventure story. And who could not"scribble" in the atmosphere of such a writing room? Letters home will be so inspired that the word picture we paint will really live for those unfortunates who are not cruising! Impossible to restrain that little thrill of pride as we commence a letter on paper headed "Empress of Britain—World Cruise.11 13 ifP^^S^^f^ a-'Aaaa.aa: ■M- MaM.a. ^mpmm:xA#?mt, ''A^MBa^a^': Ami Ma A favourite meeting place—the Mall L-JNKING the great salons of the Lounge Deck is the Mall. Spacious, of great height, and with a vista of 165 feet, it is a veritable Peacock Alley. Deep piled rugs soften our footfalls—inviting chesterfields and armchairs beg us to linger in their comforting embrace. Fronting the Grand Staircase is a superb painting—picturing the I 14 1 arrival in 1620 of Samuel Champlain— the founder of Quebec—and his bride. Quebec, by the way, is the Western port of the Empress of Britain when in trans-Atlantic service. The Card Room shows a decidedly Spanish influence—a fireplace of carved stone and black and gold tiles . . . upholstery of red leather. How many times will those walls echo to "Grand Slam" on our cruise? The Lounge Deck stretches on both sides of the ship for six hundred and fifty feet—four times round and we've done our measured mile. Forward, and for some distance aft, this spacious deck is enclosed with removable plate glass windows. The open unobstructed promenade deck space, exclusive of tennis court and sports deck, totals twenty-six thousand square feet. Just think! Twenty-six thousand square feet on which to walk and play or loll in deck chairs, bask in the life giving sunshine, view the marvels of the places we shall visit, watch the passing liners, look down on sampans, bumboats, and Chinese junks . . . and see flying fish, sharks, porpoises, and whales. This deck space is going to mean more to us than we can possibly realise! The Knickerbocker Bar, where the whimsical exaggerated humour of Heath Robinson—depicting the evolution of the cocktail—decorates walls and ceilings, is bewitching—rib-tickling. The concoctions served over the semi-circular bar are delicious, palate-tickling. Leather cushioned chairs and stools invite us to linger and chat while sipping. The originality of the whole room is fascinating, and already the "Knickerbocker Bar" has become the talk of the world. The Sun Deck is reserved exclusively for sports, a wide open space to enjoy ship golf, bowls, deck tennis, horse racing, and all the activities one associates with life on the ocean wave. {a) A Card Room (b) Dolce far niente (c) The Cocktail Bar (d) Route of the Daily Mile (a) f 15 (*) mmm$ to (J) ill 11 §p .* «? '? . .: ■ WAViM'';:: ■ Apartments with all the comforts of home JDUT perhaps our greatest interest centres in our own particular apartments. Practically all these are outside rooms ... spacious, airy, well-lighted . . . and equipped with every possible convenience. Apartments for one or two persons . . . each with private bathroom . . . and there are regal suites of five luxurious rooms each. Tastes ranging from the simplest to the most extreme will be I 16 1 satisfied with the appointments—the acme of luxury and refinement. Entirely different in furnishing, each one, they retain that air of supreme comfort. In the Shop we find every possible article for sale . . . essentials and delightful novelties. The fully-equipped Beauty Parlour, with deft-fingered operators in attendance, will prove a source of comfort to the lady cruise members. The Olympian Pool on F Deck is the chef-d'oeuvre of swimming pools— forty feet by twenty. Rows of blue pillars uphold a glass roof through which artificial sunlight sparkles on the limpid waters, further illumined from beneath by concealed lights. The monster glass turtle who sits at one end of the pool has a most important role in life . . . superintending the filling of this retreat of mermaids and mermen with sparkling translucent sea- AMMMmWM:.,-. 31 " mmMM water. Imagine splashing about in such surroundings . . . vivifying . . . refreshing .. . the swimmers' paradise. Nor is that all, for during the cruise the forward Sun Deck is converted into the largest open-air swimming pool on a liner—a snow-white tank 31 feet by 18, surrounded by a wide promenade of holy-stoned deck where bathers may lounge in the sunshine. Adjacent to the Olympian pool are Turkish baths, decorated in marble and silver, as well as electric baths. On the opposite side is a gymnasium, replete with all the necessities for keeping fit . . . bicycle, horse, camel, and massage machines, hydraulic sculling machines, punching bags, wall bars... in a word, every approved device in the way of gymnastic equipment. As a change from tennis there is a championship si^e Squash Racquets Court . . . two decks in height. IJ118 Your suite on board (a) LyN the Sports Deck is a full-sised tennis court, with spectators' galleries on each side shielded with netting. What hours of enjoyment ahead on this splendid deck! A rousing game in mid-ocean, then off to the adjoining cafe. While the ship is in warm climates, this deck will be used for open-air concerts and for dancing under the tropic moon. An eight-page newspaper—containing the latest wireless news and cruise events—is published daily ... By means of wireless too we may keep our fingers on the pulse of the world's stock markets. Before the various ports are reached, a lecture relating to the place to be visited is delivered by an experienced globe-trotter, thoroughly familiar with the history and customs of each country. Religious services are held each Sunday while at sea. There is an altar set provided for the celebration of Holy Mass. (Usually a Roman Catholic Priest is among the passengers.) Entertainments of all kinds, superintended by the Directress of Entertainment and Staff Captain, make the hours pass on winged feet . . . up-to- date talking pictures, masquerade balls, concerts, bridge, Christmas, New Year, birthday and other parties ... a continual round of enjoyment. Two orchestras delight us with classical music and rousing jass. We get together and organise a Travel Club, Camera Club (a complete staff of photographers is carried), Fraternal meetings, and arrange all kinds of happy gatherings. In fact there is so much we want to do that the day, week, month, cruise, is over before we even realise "Tempus Fugit."

MADEIRA! Colour! Beauty! Enchantment ! Green hills, pink houses, blue and yellow, the Loo Rock, flaming flowers, vine-clad walls and myriads of small boats. Shrill cries of "I dive," "I dive," come floating upwards, and gleaming naked bodies flash in the sunlight, plunging recklessly to retrieve coins flung into the blue waters. What a scene! Springtime in Madeira! Let us away—ashore—to the cobble-paved little city of Funchal with its smiling inhabitants—sleds pulled by soft-eyed oxen, old shops, quaint streets. What a chance for pictures! . . . everywhere . . . every turn . . . every step . . . something we've never seen before in all our lives! But we'll explore later on—now we must catch that funny little cog-wheel train which carries us up— up—up—to the top of old Terreiro da Lucta. What a view! Foliage like green velvet; a bay of blue satin with white frills; and there, gleaming in the sunshine, our ship! Then lunch . . . what appetites, and if you like Madeira wine . . . Now, thrill of thrills! Return by mundane railway? We do NOT. We seat ourselves in cozy carrinhos-do-monte, and away, away, over slippery cobbles, down, down, down, 3,285 feet, guided by two attendants. Flying feet, screaming children pelting us with flowers . . . down . . . past tiny cottages, glorious gardens, flashing streams, high walls draped in bougainvillea, roses, azaleas . . . past old-fashioned houses which remind us that here, centuries ago, Columbus met his bride. Breathless with laughter we reach the bottom—in less than twenty minutes—with a sled for a conveyance and gravity for an engine! Later we wander through the 14th Century Cathedral, into old buildings and little stores, picking up bargains, and dickering over prices of the lovely linens. Then perhaps we may try our skill at the Casino, a fairyland set in a beautiful garden, or perhaps drop a few centuries from time and ride in a gaily caparisoned carroe . . . perhaps, but why go on? Madeira is SO different, and all wrapped up in a sleepy old-world charm that tugs at the heart-strings. Waving palms and cobbled streets— Madeira ©A.S. I 21!

Gibraltar.. .grim., .impressive . . . majestic . . . the crouching lion of Great Britain guarding the entrance to the Mediterranean . . . heavily fortified with monster guns hidden from sight... blinding searchlights . . . powerful wireless stations ... its rocky heart tunnelled through and through with secret passages. In the bay lean, grey warships lying at anchor . . . soldiers on duty . . . blue jackets . . . marines. We may walk through some of the tunnels, but only some . . . gazing out from the galleries. Below lies the old Moorish Castle, built in the 8th century. The tales those old walls could tell ... of fighting and massacre ... of bloodshed and torture . . . grim relic of the days when Islam ruled in Europe. There are monkeys, too, in Gibraltar, and tradition has it that when not a single one remains the famous rock will once more become a part of Spain. WE'RE in Africa now. Algiers ... of pirate fame . . . home of Barbarossa and his cut-throat crews . . . the most blood-thirsty pirates who ever sailed the seas. But different now . . . smart shops, filled with Parisian gowns, shoes, novelties and perfumes, gracing the city . . . cafes sparkling with light and laughter. That's the French portion . . . but the native ! Steep airless streets ! . . . windowless houses . . . surging humanity . . . mysterious bundles of clothes slipping in and out of the shadows . . . veiled faces . . . black eyes gazing boldly from beneath a turban . . . holes in the walls called shops . . . balconies which almost meet over the alley-like passageways—a maze of turnings and cul-de-sacs. To keep away evil spirits the tiny girls who work in carpet factories paint their finger nails bright red . . . the hand of Fatima appears over shadowed doorways and even the horses wear a necklace of bright blue beads for good luck! Weirdly mysterious ... baffling . . . superstitious: Algiers. There is also an interesting optional motor trip to the noted Algerian town of Blidah. ACROSS the Mediterranean again to Monaco, a tiny principality on the Riviera, with Monte Carlo, of easy money and vanished fortunes. Bright and early we whirl off in motor cars along the Grande Corniche—most fascinating of motor roads—past quaint towns and villages famed in song and story . . . past Eze, "a rose-red village half as old as time". . . our destination Nice, where sooner or later all the world comes... in the distance the Alps—grandeur indescribable—glittering snow-clad pinnacles—pristine whiteness— blue-black shadows. V Jfe, Veiled women, tur baned men, city of mosques—Algiers ©A 123 1 A busy street in Naples JLvOMANCE steps out to meet us as we approach Naples—serene, captivating—the blue waters of the famous Bay lapping its skirts—grey volcanic mountains forming a background, and in the distance, smoking aggressively, wickedly suggestive . . . Vesuvius! A beautiful city in a beautiful setting. Handsome, swarthy, gay-hearted Neapolitans fill the streets which climb upwards in a series of steps. We visit the historic Cathedral of San Gennaro, and the National Museum filled with priceless treasures; particularly interesting are the superb bronzes from Herculaneum and Pompeii. Restaurants bloom gayly under awnings . . . painted images of the Virgin gaze forth from wall niches ... a babel of strange tongues intrigues us . . . Pompeii strikes a note of solemnity. These streets too were filled with life and colour before Vesuvius in 79 A.D. buried them deep in dust and ashes. Shades of the past live in its wonderfully preserved houses; phantom horses tear madly down its deeply rutted stone roadways; ghostly crowds press about the wine-sellers' shops; spectral multitudes throng the Basilica! Four optional excursions call us at Naples: The first is to Rome, "The Immortal City". Two days are spent there visiting by motor car the Pincio, the Vatican, the Catacombs, the Baths of Caracalla, the Pantheon, the Forum, the Basilica of St. John Lateran and other points of interest. The Amalfi-Sorrento Drive—over a road famed for its thrilling beauty, winding in and out along the shores of the Mediterranean. Amalfi, a lovely seaport on the Gulf of Salerno. Sorrento built on the cliffs high above the sea, a fantasy of white walls, and orange, lemon and olive groves. Caserta, known as the Versailles of Southern Italy, with its magnificent Palace of Charles the Third of Bourbon. The beautiful gardens and groups of statuary arouse our artistic enthusiasm. And Vesuvius, threatening, glowering, devilish, though it is, fairly demands a visit. ■Ma Mi$ ©A.S.N.

HROUGH the ^Egean Sea to Phaleron Bay where we disembark at Piraeus to stand in the land of the Hellenes of immortal fame! A five mile run by motor and we are in Athens. Splendid libraries, schools, theatres, stores, and mansions line boulevards set with trees of a type quite new to us. In the meaner streets an Oriental atmosphere prevails —tinsmiths, cobblers, peddlers, and open-air cook shops, and in the Street of the Cobblers we come upon an attractive Turkish mosque. Occasionally we see a Greek in native dress. We drive through the Arch of Hadrian and visit the Tower of the Winds—interesting relic of the ancient manner of weather observation. The Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological Museum are veritable treasure-houses of all that throws light on the ancient history of this enchanting country. We visit the Theseum, that architectural masterpiece of a great genius, marvellously preserved through centuries of strife and destruction! But "The Glory that was Greece" bursts forth in all its impressive grandeur as we approach the Acropolis. Temples of the Gods—superb—magnificent — disdainful of storm and stress—rear their impressive beauty high into the blue heavens! Spell-bound we gaze, lost in admiration for those Greek masters who created these poems in stone— our heritage of the past, a heritage which has fascinated mankind down the centuries. The Propylea—imposing and stately in its ruined splendour ! The Erectheum with its Porch of gracefully alluring Athenian maidens ! The exquisite Temple of Wingless Victory! At the base of the Acropolis lies the theatre where plays were acted in honour of the God Dionysius—where throngs of citizens watched the tragedies of ^Eschylus—Sophocles— Euripides, which still delight the world. And crowning the heights, scintillating in the brilliant noon-day sun stands the Parthenon—that most imposing and perfect example of Greek art—incomparably magnificent—boldly beautiful—erected to the glory of Athena. Artistically glorious now, what must it have been in the far-distant ages—unstained by weather, the carving perfect, the decorations new—and inside, the colossal ivory and gold statue of the Grey- Eyed Maid? Everywhere we look lie sights to ravish the eye and intoxicate the senses. Stately—beautiful—soul-stirring—Ruins of a Glorious Past! "The Glory that was Greece" ' Pillars of the Parthenon ©A.S.N. I 27 Ci ©A.S.N. CHRISTMAS time in the Holy Land! The Birthplace of Christ—the Birthday of Christ. We anchor at Haifa. Across the water lies Acre, famed stronghold of the Crusaders who came centuries ago to free Jerusalem from the yoke of the infidel. Land of Holy Mary ... of Ruth ... of Martha . . . City of David. We enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, dimly lighted, smelling of incense. We see the Rock which tradition says guarded the very Tomb itself. . We wander through streets traversed by the Lord on his weary way to Calvary. We visit Rachael's Tomb . . . the Pool of Bethesda . . . the House of Caiaphas... Mount Zion . . . the Mosque of Omar, built over the summit of Mount Moriah . . . and the Wailing Wall where the Jews come to pray for the restoration of the departed glories of their race. We visit Bethlehem itself, bending low to enter the doorway of the Church of the Nativity where Christ was born. We see the Milk Grotto ... the Mount of Olives, and may make optional excursions to Jericho . . . the Dead Sea . . . the River Jordan . . . Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee! A labyrinth of streets wind about and lose themselves in Jerusalem... up and down ... in and out . . . tortuous passages, iron-barred windows, narrow courts . . . there a water- carrier with his goat-skin slung across his shoulders ... a man staggering along under a load big enough for an ox . . . diminutive donkeys and lordly camels demanding way . . . bickering groups of men . . . ragged beggars . . . watchful British Tommies.

The softly luminous atmosphere bathes Cairo in an air of mystery, lending a bewitching glamour to the streets with their thousands of pale-brown Arabs, blue-black Ethiopians, bronze Nubians, Moors, Turks, Greeks—every race and creed in an amazing galaxy of colour. The native town with its mosques, bazaars, and palaces, fills us with delight. Without success we try to resist the lure of the shops—treasure-chests of ravishing gems, carpets, antiques, gold and silver embroideries, silks, and wonderful examples of native art. The "golli-golli" men insist on performing their miraculous tricks for us. The hotels wear an air of festive gayety. Here in the land of Cleopatra we bid welcome to the New Year in a burst of hilarious triumphant festivity. Across the wastes the desert sends an appeal; we mount stately dignified camels and go swaying out over the shifting sands to the Pyramids. On the historic Nile we sail to Bedrechein — viewing the ever-changing scenery along its banks—wondering at the primitive form of cultivation, unchanged since the time of the Pharaohs. An optional excursion takes us to Luxor to see Tut-Ankh- Amen'sTomb, the Tombs of the Kings—the Colossi of Memnon—the Temple of Ammon at Karnak—stupendous relics of a distant past. Those of us who have fallen under the spell of Egypt take advantage of the opportunity to spend a night in the desert. A camel ride first to the intriguing, comfortable camp. Endless miles of sand, tents, Arabs, magicians, camels. Everything gleaming in the moonlight. Weird, exciting! We sleep under the stars and arise to see the sun come up in a blaze of glory across the golden sands! "Who drinks Nile water must return." We hope it's true.

JLAND of mystery . . . deep, impenetrable mystery we Occidentals can never fathom. Rites and ceremonies, born when the world was young, are still practised, and will continue down countless ages . . . for Indfa is a land where Time has no meaning. For days we have sailed over sparkling seas, enjoying life to the full—resting after our Mediterranean experiences—the Holy Land— Egypt—and now we are ready . . . for India! At the Apollo Bunder we land . . . walk through the towering Gateway of India, and are in . . .Bombay ... a little surprised at the vastness of the city—so modern, so unique, so beautiful, so contradictory. In the distance, grimly interesting, stand the Towers of Silence where the Parsees bring their dead to be devoured by the swarming vultures. We drive about . . . through streets overflowing with natives of every race, creed and colour. . . lumbering bullock carts . . . taxis . . . beggars ... snake-charmers . . . tram-cars . . . coolies . . . Sikh policemen... bazaars. We visit Malabar Hill, the native city, and . . . The Caves of Elephanta . . . hewn out of solid rock in honour of Siva and the million gods of the Hindu Pantheon. A strange medley of sounds one hears . . . the tinkle of temple bells, the throbbing drum . . . the chant of the "muezzin." Absorbingly interesting our first taste of India. We could spend days here finding something new every minute . . . but we've many other wonders to see, and leave for Delhi. Enroute the train stops at Itarsi, Bhopal, Gwalior . . . fascinating indeed are these stations, crowded with natives clad in coat and flowing shirt-tails, or perhaps only a loin-cloth, the women in voluminous red or yellow saris . . . wearing bracelets, toe-rings, nose-rings, and anklets which clank as they stride along, graceful, unhurried, enormous burdens on their heads. Curiously the crowds gaze—a whole train-load of white people . . . What do they think of Delhi Himalaya Mts. The Vishunath Ghat I 33] Palasa Water Carrier ©A.S.N. us . . . really? Peddlers throng the platforms offering for sale every imaginable article—knives, beads, embroidered caps, bags, and slippers, cashmere shawls, brass, ivory, furs, doubtful looking sweetmeats, wooden figures, clay statuettes. Then there are the monkeys . . . sacred of course, clambering over standing freight cars, swinging from girders, begging for bananas or bread, and scampering off if we try to approach . . . amusing little beggars . . . living anywhere and everywhere . . . unmolested. 550 miles North is Sanchi, set on a hill. Wonderful stupas here, memorials to the Buddhist faith . . . round like gigantic beehives . . . with marvellously executed carvings depicting the life of Gautama the Buddha. Delhi, our first real objective, comes into view. Living memorial to bye-gone rulers ... a battlefield of centuries drenched in blood. Just beyond Delhi is the Kutb Minar, slender, artistic... the only one of its kind in India. The view from the top, if one likes climbing, is a revelation . . . never ending masses of ruins, reminiscent of the splendours of a bye-gone age. Of course, we must see the Iron Pillar, bearing the inscription "So long as I stand the Hindu Kingdom shall endure." Next, Agra, and there shining in the distance, the most beautiful building in the world . . . the Taj Mahal! erected by Shah Jehan, as a last resting-place for his wife Mumtiz-i- Mahal. Glorious it is, and showered in moonlight appears almost unearthly. If you are going to Benares, the real heart of Hindu life and religion lies ahead. Mysterious . . . unfathomable. Built on the banks of the Ganges, where pilgrims in their hundreds of thousands come to bathe in the sacred waters, to drink, to lave their faces—thus washing away sin and assuring their souls' salvation. Waist deep in the murky water they stand, tremulous lips moving in silent prayer, unmindful in their religious ecstasy of curious onlookers. The terraced slopes Government House Guard, Bombay ©A.S.N. Loin cloths in the Great Temple Drum are crowded—priests, pilgrims, sacred cattle, burning ghats, corpses awaiting cremation, heaps of wood for funeral pyres, holy menj(there are three million in India) thickly plastered with ashes. Temples to Siva . . . the Monkey Temple . . . the Golden Temple . . . Temples innumerable. Then there is Kali, the Dark One, frightful to look upon with her necklace of skulls, a cobra for a girdle, and another supporting her ghastly tongue which hangs waist-length. Sights and sounds here which have their counterpart nowhere else in the world—throbbing, striving humanity. Narrow sinuous streets bordered with recesses called shops . . . where life surges by in picturesque procession . . . Yes . . . the spell of Benares is complete. If still unsatisfied we may continue across India to Calcutta —second city of the British Empire, and indeed worthy of a visit. The mighty Hooghley with its ocean liners, tramps, country boats, and Arab dhows, is of never-ending interest. Here too is the Jain Temple, the Fort, and Hindu shrines and bathing ghats. North to Darjeeling, climbing the Himalayas by one of the world's quaintest railways, to the eternal glory of the Snowy Range, with giant Kanchinjunga and her mighty sisters towering into the heavens from mist-filled valleys — riding before dawn to Tiger Hill to view the awe-inspiring spectacle of the sun rising over Mount Everest—breathtaking, unearthly, beyond description. Heading south again we come to Madras—home of the merchant princes—that part of India first settled by British and other nations; here also we find St. Thomas' Cathedral, built over the reputed tomb of the Apostle. There is a Tamil proverb that he who fails to see Madura in this birth is fated to become an ass in the next. Madura is worth seeing . . . the Athens of Southern India . . . where we shall find some of the strangest of all the strange architecture encountered on our cruise ... the Gopurams of Minakshi Temple!

CjrLITTERING jewel of an island—basking in the sunshine—quivering in the breeze. Elephants and bullock-bandies, cocoanut groves and coffee, tree-fringed roads, happy natives, laughing brown babies, yellow and orange-robed Buddhist priests, a riot of flowers . . . everything green and smiling. Yes . . . this tropic "Isle of Spices" is certainly the greenest place we've EVER seen. Such a medley of races—Tamils, Moors, Malays, Parsees. Graceful Singhalese men striding along in ankle-length skirts. With their long black hair coiled in a knot and adorned with huge horn combs they appear strangely effeminate. Fine shops line Colombo streets. Particularly attractive are the jewellers' stores, where precious and semi-precious stones are displayed in exotic profusion—satiny pearls, gleaming rubies, sapphires, cat's-eyes, amethysts, topaz, limpid zircons. We lunch at Mount Lavinia, most exquisite of seashore resorts. Ninety-five miles away lies Kandy, delightfully situated in the distant hills. Here is the "Temple of the Tooth," here we ride on gentle, slow-moving elephants, or watch the huge creatures bathing. Then back to Colombo . . . through the most gorgeous scenery, tea plantations, • paddy fields, cocoanut and rubber trees. Little on ytrnatru children dash from the neat white houses to shriek greetings as we flash past. During our stay in Ceylon time is afforded for an optional motor trip to that "Gem in a Mountain Setting,,5 Nuwara Eliya. Kindly, luxuriant, beautiful Ceylon! With heartfelt regret we watch you slip below the horizon. BUT we've little time for regrets . . . ahead lies Sumatra . . . verdant island of the Dutch East Indies . . . Sumatra of giant waterfalls, volcanoes, dense jungles that are jungles, and a style of architecture all its own. At Emmahaven we board a toy train for Padang Pandjang to enjoy a picnic right in the heart of primitive surroundings. Natives dance for us^—queer, slow-moving, stately. Then there is a fencing match, even slower, with much flashing of knives and slapping of thighs. Odd! Different! We eat mangosteens—said to be the most delicious of all fruits. We view a marriage ceremony, or part of it, for the nuptials take three whole days in Padang Pandjang. In honor of our visit the children have a holiday, and these curious, excited little people follow us everywhere. Later, when balloons, fruit and candies are distributed, they go almost wild with joy. Primitive . . . very . . . Sumatra. Untroubled and untarnished by the bustling world. Devil Dancers ©A.S.N.

Weltevreden—meaning well-content—the enchanting garden suburb . . . broad avenues, delightful houses, gorgeous flowers, and shady trees. Famous old buildings, and imposing relics of Buddhist and Hindu periods. There is the gruesome skull transfixed on a spearpoint atop a weed- encircled wall—skull of Pieter Eberveld of detested memory, a traitor of 1722, whose plot was betrayed by a native girl. There is the old cannon„which the natives believe has the powers of fertility. Here we find them burning incense or sticking little paper favours into the surrounding mud. There is the canal—so strongly reminiscent of Holland—crossed by numerous bridges. Waist deep in the water stand the natives, washing clothes, themselves, or vegetables. Little children, shrieking merrily, play on rafts, animals go down to drink, huge flat barges drift up and down. We go to Buitenzorg—home of the Governor—and the most enchanting of all botanical gardens, resplendent with flowers and trees the like of which we've never seen before. The optional motor trips to Bandoeng and Garoet run through rice fields and tea plantations, sun steeped plains covered with dense tropical vegetation, through primeval forest, past smiling mountain lakes and active volcanoes. We must have some batik—intricate in design, artistic in colour. And who could leave without one or two Wayang dolls ? They have the most grotesque faces we've ever seen and ridiculous waving arms!

The Empress of Britain glides in through some of the most magnificent scenery in the world to dock at Kowloon, where we shall probably find another of the great white Empresses — The Empress of Japan, the Empress of Canada, the Empress of Asia, or the Empress of Russia. White, sparkling, queenly, amongst a mass of Chinese junks and sampans, warships and pleasure craft, freighters and ferry boats ... for Hongkong is one of the busiest harbours in the East. There is an air of glamour and seduction about our first port in China, enchanting, pulsating with life, backed by green hills and grey mountains. An amazing pageant of life fills the streets, fantastic, bizarre . . . and to shop in Queen's Road is a joy not easily forgotten . . . such jade and porcelain, lace and linen, silks and blackwood furniture ! Above the harbour rises the city of Victoria, tier upon tier. At night with its myriad of lights it is a veritable fairyland, while the trip to the Peak is an adventure in itself. Repulse Bay, with an appeal all its own, is reached by a road that is a marvel of engineering skill. Up and down, in and out it winds, disclosing vistas inexpressibly beautiful, refreshingly different. Hongkong . . . ninety years ago a barren rock, now the pride of the East! An optional excursion takes us 150 miles north to Canton, the real heart of life as it is lived in this fascinating land of the Yellow Race. Whether we ride in rickshas or sedan chairs, every step of the way reveals strange sights and sounds. Little groups of be- trousered women harnessed to lumbering carts loaded with bricks . . . squealing pigs in baskets slung on either end of a pole A Lama of Peiping ©E.G. Great Wall of China ©A.S.N. across the shoulders of a coolie — tiny children dragging home a freshly killed chicken or duck, little housewives trotting along with bundles of meat tied with string or half a dozen pigs' hearts neatly threaded on a stick ... a chattering procession accompanying a funeral, the Flowery Pagoda, the City of the Dead where bodies are kept for years awaiting the right place or lucky day for interment. On the river thousands of sampans crowded with men and women, babies and cats, dogs and chickens. Many of the people are born and die on these sampans, seldom setting foot ashore. Captivating, gruesome, alluring, bewildering is Canton! First through the yellow floods of the mighty Yangtze Kiang, then fourteen miles up the Wangpoo River and we're in Shanghai — ultra-cosmopolitan —"Where East meets West." The Bund, which is the principal thoroughfare, teeming \vith activity and lined with modern handsome office buildings, rickshas, motorcars, sedan- chairs, and wheelbarrows, in splendid confusion—an endless stream of people in colourful garb. There's the native quarter with the Willow Pattern Tea House — temples — curio shops—bazaars. There's Bubbling Well Road, and other roads with equally entrancing names; the Lungwha Pagoda; the Mandarin Garden. Of course, here as elsewhere we must shop, preferably in the Nanking Road, but it's fascinating too to bargain with the genial peddlers on the tender . . . What a bewildering array of novelties in those bundles they open up for our inspection! Chinese Funeral ©A.S.N. I 44 1 From Chinwangtao to Peiping our way lies through flat, brown country. In all directions stretch little hillocks—endless burial grounds, sacred for ever—miles upon miles of fertile land for burial grounds while millions are on the verge of starvation . . . Strange land, China! But it's Peiping we're interested in. Aloof, ageless, dignified, bewildering in its grandeur and squalor, magnificence and poverty, Peiping with a history of 4,500 years. Every single building has its story, every name its meaning. One of the most fascinating cities in the world. There a camel train coming in from Mongolia, there a Peiping cart, thousands of rickshas, little tots just bundles of clothes, a tiny donkey dragging a load big enough for a Clydsedale, the wailing call of street vendors, sunlight on yellow roofs, well-paved highways, mysterious, deeply- rutted side-streets. The Legation Quarter, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Winter Palace, the Summer Palace. And who could resist Jade Street, Embroidery Street, Lantern Street, Silver Street. . . a mass of tiny shops. A leisurely .ramble will prove most advantageous, for here we may buy goods offered nowhere else on our cruise . . . prices ridiculously low. Just jump in a ricksha and off ... to fairly wallow in treasures of every description, embroideries, tribute silks, tapestry, mandarin coats, furs, silver, lanterns; but one could go on and on so we must "looksee" for ourselves. The Chinese in Peiping seem to be different from others we have met, studiously polite and smiling always. Our ricksha man may not have eaten a square meal for days, but he wears a smile, and has a hearty laugh for anything that strikes him as particularly funny. And one day we go by train to the singsong station of Chinglungchao. Here we enter sedan-chairs (unlike any we've met before) or mount sturdy little donkeys ... en route for the Great Wall of China, winding snake-like over mountains and through valleys for 1,500 miles.

Hundreds of school children waving British, American, and Japanese flags sing a pasan of welcome. We wander through the delightful town decorated in our honour. Streets swarm with little kimonoed figures . . . politely they bow and smile as we pass . . . tiny babies slung across the backs of their mothers gaze in wide-eyed wonder. The more courageous of these little people come close, touching a hand or coat-sleeve, undecided whether we are truly real or some ethereal beings from another world. Beppu is famous for its hot springs . . . seething cauldrons which roar alarmingly . . . red, yellow, orange, water. We are invited to a quaint Japanese home— such a charming little place, with paper partitions instead of walls—tables a few inches from the floor . . . cushions for chairs. We slip off our shoes and investigate more thoroughly . . . visiting all the rooms. Was there ever another house so spotless? From Beppu we sail through the glorious Inland Sea—studded with jewel-like islands —a fantasy of seascapes—to Kobe. Nothing sleepy about this . . . bustling, thriving, business-like . . . Japan's greatest seaport. Then by train to Kyoto—former capital of this Island Kingdom. Murmuring streams- innumerable bridges—laughing geishas—city of endless festivals—memorial lanterns— and pagodas. Kyoto is said to be the crystallization of all that is beautiful in Japan. On to Nara with its Torii and temples, and its park where limpid-eyed deer beg for rice cakes. Here too is the Great Bell which we may ring and make a wish. At the Hotel we are entertained with a "No" Drama. Not a word can we understand, but the fantastic figures, ludicrous gestures and roaring voices of the actors, fill us with delight. At Yokohama we dock once more. In the distance glorious Fujiyama rears his mighty snow-capped head. By special train to Tokyo—the capital—hustling city of great department stores—wide busy streets—splendid hotels. Were it not for the little kimonoed figures everywhere we should have difficulty in realizing we're in Japan . . . everything so modern ... so progressive ... so suggestive of the Western business world. There's so much of interest here we find our stay all too short. Just beyond Yokohama is Kamakura with its giant Buddha gazing placidly out on a hurrying world. An optional excursion brings us to Nikko—heart of old Japan, with beautiful temples . . . splendid cryptomeria trees, Tombs of the Shoguns ... a gem of scenic beauty set in picturesque mountains. Here we find the original of that artistic design which appears on fans . . . china . . . silks, and lanterns the world over . . . the Sacred Red Lacquer Bridge.

Aloha! we are welcome indeed. We motor through some of the most exquisite of scenery—smiling land of eternal summer. The breath-taking view from the Pali holds us spell-bound ... a green velvet mantle of trees and shrubs drapes the precipitous slope dropping 1,200 feet to the blue sea flashing in the sun, white surf breaking on golden sands. At the Royal Hawaiian Hotel we lunch, dine, and dance. Native singers entertain us—their superbly modulated voices wafted softly on the breeze . . . boys climb to the top of sky-reaching cocoanut trees... Hawaiian maidens dance to the strumming of ukeleles and steel guitars ... we swim in the translucent waters at Waikiki Beach, or lie on the warm sands. Out in the surging surf Hawaiian boys, like young bronze gods, slide down the green wall of water on their surf boards ... we try to emulate their skill—our clumsy efforts ridiculously unsuccessful. We drive through miles and miles of pineapple fields—sugarcane—and cocoanut trees. In the Bishop Museum we find a collection telling how life was lived before the white man came to these magic islands which in so short a time have dug a place deep in our hearts. But even Honolulu must be left. Once more leis are placed about our necks . . . the band plays . . . slowly our great white ship glides away. Passing Diamond Head we throw the beautiful garlands overboard . . . hoping, praying, that tradition will not play us false but that they will wash back to land, thus ensuring our return to this halcyon isle. Across the sea the fading strains of music reach our ears . . . Does a tear-drop dim the eye as we gaze at the receding land?. . . Aloha! Honolulu . . . Aloha Oe ! But we've not left the Hawaiian Islands yet. The following morning we reach Hilo and see the other side of Paradise . . . Over lava roads we drive to Kilauea . . . and look down into the pit . . .

Canadian Tacijic 52 1 impress of ^Britain World &uise Optional Shore Excursions While the program of included excursions is comprehensive, it is felt that members should be offered facilities, where time permits, to visit, at their own expense, certain places impossible to include in the regular excursions. Where included excursions overlap optionals, due allowance has been made in the fare for the latter. Members are urged to avail themselves of these excursions, as they have been carefully organized with a view of seeing all that is worth seeing. Furthermore, in the case of motor trips, it should be borne in mind that each group of cars is accompanied by a Canadian Pacific representative and in some cases by police escort; cars are not filled to capacity, additional cars are employed for the carrying of baggage, and spare cars are supplied to avoid delays in event of break-down. Meals and hotel accommodation, where required, are also included. Local drivers in many places offer similar trips at reduced rates but members are warned to beware of such 4'bargains,"as they afford none of the protection or service outlined above and the cars are usually crowded. General Conditions of Optional Excursions The itineraries and dates may be affected by alterations in steamship or railroad services of the various countries, or by other causes.

The Canadian Pacific accepts no responsibility for losses or additional expense due to delays or changes in train or steamer services, sickness, weather, strikes, war, quarantine or other causes, and all such losses or expenses will have to be borne by the passenger. In the possible contingency of quarantine, any additional expenses, living or otherwise, must be defrayed by the passenger. All fares for Optional Excursions shown in this program are subject to change, and are payable in gold dollars or their equivalent. As the Canadian Pacific is governed in the matter of special trains by regulations as to minimum numbers laid down by foreign railway companies, the Canadian Pacific retains the right in each case to substitute for special trains mentioned in Optional Excursions named herein the regular train service of the Company concerned, should numbers insufficient to warrant special service be secured.
