IFIC iSfIR ^ MEDITERj^teMrCRlJISE Cruising versus Independent Travel y^JHERE may arise in the minds of those seriously considering a cruise C) the question: "Should we join a cruise or travel independently, making ^^^ our own arrangements from port to port?" While the Canadian Pacific has excellent facilities for independent travel, there are so many attractive features about a cruise that it is easy to decide. Every detail for your comfort and entertainment is arranged months in advance by experts who know every angle of cruising. From the moment you go aboard, the Empress of Scotland is your home for the entire trip. You can put your clothes away in your stateroom and send your empty trunks to the baggage room. There is no continual packing and unpacking on a cruise—just the few articles required for the excursions on shore. There are no hotel or train reservations for you to worry about, as everything has been attended to. You also avoid the discomforts of having to travel on small local steamers, to say nothing of the delays frequently experienced as a result of their uncertain departures. Our arrangements for sightseeing in high-class motor cars are ideal and you are not at the mercy of unscrupulous drivers. Furthermore, you see everything that is worth seeing and no time is wasted on unimportant places. For those who like to be free to find their own way "around town," time for independent action is usually arranged at the principal ports, in addition to the regular cruise program of sightseeing. Then there is that congenial companionship and those delightful friendships which predominate on a cruise. Everyone is care-free and happy, and when it comes to the end of the cruise you reluctantly say good-bye, wishing in your heart that you were just starting out. And with all these advantages your expenses are considerably less than to make the same trip independently. People are more and more coming to appreciate the great convenience of the modern apartment house, where all responsibilities are carried by the management, and family life is conducted with none of the cares of maintaining a private house. And so it is with travel. People of means, some of whom have private yachts, prefer to go cruising in the big ocean liners, where all the cares and worries are on the shoulders of an efficient organization and the traveller is left free to indulge in the pleasures of cruising. Cruising has truly become an institution of present-day life. ss^*?

Va— ~p^ MEDITERjMEI^CRUISE Funchal, Madeira FEBRUARY 11 and FEBRUARY 12 ./Yfter a week of steaming across the Southern route, the Empress of Scotland will arrive at the Island of Madeira, which is the largest of the group of five known as the Madeira Islands, belonging to Portugal and colonised by the Portuguese early in the fifteenth century. Funchal, the capital and port, boasts of a delightful and equable climate. The town lies around a beautiful harbor, from which narrow streets run up the slope of the mountain. The island is of volcanic origin and very moun' tainous. Precipitous slopes flank the island, fluted with deep ravines, which give an almost architectural richness to the pedestal of cliff-bound shores. Blessed with an extremely fertile soil, Funchal itself is famous for its gardens, resplendent with roses, azaleas and bougainvillea. The fruity wine produced from its abundant vineyards has given to Madeira a particular fame. Funchal is radiant with gaily colored houses, lovely gardens and brilliant costumes natural to a sunny climate The traveller may traverse the streets in a litter carried by bearers, or be hauled over the cobbles on the curious native sleds. In the evening the Vigia Gardens, lit by countless lanterns, tempt the visitor with the magic of color and the attractions of a Casino. It was at Funchal that Christopher Columbus wooed and won his wife, and in the Rua Dereita a tablet marks the site of his home. The Empress of Scotland will anchor about a quarter of a mile from the landing quay and debarkation will be by launches. On the evening of arrival a ball will be held at the Pavao Casino, and cruise members will be transferred from and to the landing quay by motor cars and bullock carroes. The following morning members will be conveyed by bullock carroes to Pombal Station, and ascent will be made by special trains on the cog'wheel railway to Terreiro da Lucta, 3285 feet, where a beautiful view of the sur' rounding country may be obtained. Descent will be made by railway or toboggan sleds—carrinhos'do-monte. The latter is a safe and thrilling experience. The sleds are made of wicker, mounted on heavy wooden runners, for sliding down the cobblestone roadway, the vehicle being controlled by men who run alongside and steer with rope attachments. The experience is unique, as these sleds are used only in Madeira. Luncheon will be served on shore and the afternoon will be free. Ship sails at 6 p.m., February 12, for Cadiz. ■J K FEBRUARY 4, 1929 MILES PORTS ARRIVE LEAVE Time in Port Days Hours FEB 4 Mon 5 pm tain Terreiro da 2769 Madeira FEB II Mon 7 pm FEB 12 Tue 6 pm 23 riaire in Seville, eville.

CANitt*; C Cadiz, Spain FEBRUARY 14 to FEBRUARY 16 adiz, gleaming white on an azure sea and guarding with heavy ramparts the delta of the Quadalquivir from the head of a long and narrow peninsula, was known to the Phoenicians, a thousand years before Christ, as Gadeira or Gades. About 500 B.C. it became a Roman outpost on the Atlantic, famous for its luxurious life, its wine and its dancing girls. As a city of Spain it grew in wealth and importance after the discovery of America and the Indies. The terraced houses, with view towers and balconies, the charm and picturesqueness of the people, the clean, busy streets, make Cadiz a delightful introduction to old Spain. The Empress of Scotland will anchor in the bay and debarkation will be by tender. Carriages will be provided for visiting the points of interest, including the Cathedral, Museum (Academy of Bellas Artes,) Botanical Garden, Alameda Apodaca, Church of Los Capuchinos, where Murillo fell from the scaffold while painting his picture of The Betrothal of St. Catherine, later succumbing to his injuries in Seville. Luncheon will be served on shore. One day will be devoted to an excursion to Seville by special train, leaving Cadiz at 8.45 a.m., arriving Seville at noon. The railway trip to Seville passes through the fertile plains which even in Roman times were known as the garden of Europe. Seville contains in the Alcazar, in the rose-red observation tower of the Giralda, and in the solitary golden tower memorials of Moorish splendour dating from the days when this was the capital of Europe. The houses are Moorish still, white with green balconies and central court and fountains, set in narrow streets or around spacious squares fragrant with orange groves. The stately Cathedral incorporates both a Roman temple and a Moorish mosque, seen particularly in the Court of Oranges, and in the Giralda. It was from Seville that Columbus started for the voyage which discovered America; from Seville Magellan set out to circumnavigate the world, Cortez to conquer Mexico, and Pizarro to win the treasures of Peru. In Seville three Roman Emperors, Hadrian, Trajan and Theodosius, were born, as also were Magellan and the two most famous of Spanish painters—Murillo and Velasquez. An imposing tomb of Columbus may be seen in the cathedral. Motor cars and carriages will be provided to transfer members from the station to the principal hotels for luncheon, and in the afternoon for visiting the various places of interest, including the Alcazar, Cathedral and House of Pilate, built by the natives of Seville after a visit to Jerusalem. Dinner will be served at the hotels at 6 p.m. and special train will leave at 7-30 p.m., arriving Cadiz about 11 p.m. Facilities will be available for members who wish to spend an additional 24 hours in Seville at a slight extra charge—see page 62. There will also be an optional excursion by special train to Granada (the Alhambra), rejoining the Empress of Scotland at Gibraltar—see page 63. Ship sails at 1 a.m., February 175 for Gibraltar. ^£ MEDTTER^fe^CRUISE MB.. SEVILLE*....

Known to the ancients as one of the Pillars of Hercules, the legend runs that Hercules raised the crags on each side of the Straits while breaking through a channel between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The Rock itself bare and grim, resembling a huge crouching lion, is three miles long and from a half to three-quarters of a mile in breadth, its height reaching to 1400 feet. Pitted with vast caverns, it reveals natural corridors of stalactites. The Rock is a honeycomb .of tunnels and galleries, and is equipped with powerful guns, searchlights and radio stations. Captured by the Moors in 711 A.D., Gibraltar was for seven hundred years the key to Moorish domination in Southern Spain. For thirty years after its fall in 1462 it was held by the Duke of Medina-Sidonia, and for two centuries after that reverted to Spain. Great Britain secured possession in 1704. In the war which broke out in 1779, between Great Britain and Spain, Gibraltar underwent its famous four-year siege. The Empress of Scotland will probably berth inside the Admiralty Breakwater alongside the Mole and debarkation will be by tender. Carriages and guides will be provided for visiting the principal points of interest, including some of the galleries and fortifications, and for a drive to Rosia Bay, where may be had a splendid view of the Straits and the African Coast. There will be a half-day for shopping. Ship sails at 6 p.m., February 17, for Algiers. Gibraltar from the shore ^^^^^^FS^i ^^^^mh%mc&^m HF•s^iBr ^^^^^^ ""-=** Casemate Gates at Gibraltar Residential Section of Algiers Arab Quarter, Algiers Native Girls in Algiers Algiers, Algeria » FEBRUARY 19 ,/V.lgiers, the capital of the French province of Algeria, was for 300 years the stronghold of the Barbary pirates, until France took hold, and the Kasbah at the crest of the hill still recalls the rule of the once terrible Barbarossa and the Corsair Deys of Algiers. The Barbary pirates exacted toll from ships of all nations, not only gold and cargo, but human beings. These pirates are credited with having captured 3000 ships and 600,000 Christians. The Boulevard de la Republique fronts a harbor which Barbarossa built for his piratical galleys and which now gives shelter to over sixteen thousand ships a year. Parallel with this is the cosmopolitan shopping street of Bab- Azoun (Gate of Grief), where the veiled charmers from rich Algerian harems and the dusky beauties of the Sahara study the latest things from Paris through the alluring plate-glass windows. The city now is half Europeanized, but up the steep, narrow streets of the native quarter one finds oneself already in the world of the Arabian Nights. The Arab Quarter with its tall window- less houses and narrow congested streets, one of which forms an unbroken series of steps, some five hundred in number, will furnish never to be forgotten scenes. The strangely costumed people, doing their buying and selling, their eating and sleeping, their praying and gambling in full public view, portray the Orient in all the primitive conditions of five hundred years ago, a scene unsurpassed by any city on the cruise. The Empress of Scotland will probably moor stern on to the quay, enabling members to walk ashore. Motor cars and guides will be provided for visiting the various places of interest, including the Arab Quarter. Luncheon will be served at the principal hotels and the afternoon will be free. I Ship sails at 6 p.m., February 19, for Malta, CAN4^N||llipinC ^_ ■-•.;. "..r Valetta, Malta San Antonio Gardens, Malta ALGIERS MEDITEHl^ptfCBUISE J w,_ i MEDITER^KMTCRUISE Malta FEBRUARY 21 In her unique situation in the centre of the Mediterranean, Malta has enjoyed from the very beginning of civilization a special position in the history of mankind. Blessed with a climate that is singularly mild, with sunshine all the year round; with her ninety square miles thick with records of all the ages of man; with a history in which the most ancient, the chivalrous and the modern merge in a harmonious tradition, there is much that attracts the visitor in little Malta, be he in search of sunshine, or history, or of mere color and light and romance. It is not a highly exploited place. It has so far disdained the advertising methods of the age, but it is mellow and quiet while affording real, deep pleasure. Of the Sacred Island of the Ancients there are wonderful temples and the unique Hypogeum cut in the rock. Of the Christian era, there is the bay where the Apostle St. Paul was wrecked, the church that he founded, still preserved and linked with his name by live tradition, fine catacombs and the remains of a luxurious Roman Villa. Of the Order of the Knights of Malta, there is a living record in Valetta, the city of palaces, "built by gentlemen for gentlemen," encircled by the strongest fortifications in the world, and full of priceless treasures of the past. The Cathedral of St. John contains rare tapestries, over 400 mosaic tablets recording the greatest names of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, and a wonderfully painted ceiling. The Palace of the Grand Masters contains a fine armory, unique tapestries and magnificent staterooms. The museum is a most interesting record of the history of the Island. The Empress of Scotland will anchor in the harbor and debarkation will be by small boats. Members of the cruise will be taken on a motor drive, visiting all principal points of interest, including San Antonio Gardens. Ship sails at 6 p.m., February 21, for Palermo. I Palermo, Sicily FEBRUARY 22 .t has been written that in order to know Europe one must know Italy and it may be said that one does not know Italy until one has visited Sicily. Its position in the middle of the Mediterranean has attracted to its shores some of the greatest civilizations and it is said that Palermo contains most of the natural, historical and archaeological charm of Sicily. Very little is known of the early history of Palermo. It was called by the Greeks "Panormos" which seems to mean "all port" as ships could anchor at all points along its shore. The Carthaginians made it one of their most important naval bases, and the Romans, on taking it, included it in their Empire as Colonia Augusta. J cANjilliinc W. ra >' MEDITER! CRUISE It remained under the Roman Empire and, subsequently, the Western Roman Empire, until taken by the Goths. It was held from 800 to 1072 by the Saracens. It was during this period that.it began to excel in arts and letters. The Normans, coming from Normandy in France, conquered it in 1072 and were succeeded in later years by the houses of Anjoy, Aragon and Castille. Charles of Bourbon and his successors held it from 1735 until 1860 when Sicily was united to Piedmont. The Empress of Scotland will anchor inside the breakwater; debarkation by tender. Carriages will be provided in the morning for visiting the points of interest. Luncheon will be served at the leading hotels and in the afternoon there will be a motor trip to Monreale. This pleasant little town, whose name means Royal Hill, is built half way up Monte Caputo and contains one of the most important Norman buildings in Sicily, the Cathedral. Into this Cathedral treasures of art showing the richness of the period, perhaps the happiest in the history of Sicily, have been poured with lavish hand. The building of the church and the expending upon it of such a wealth of treasure and beauty of decoration is ascribed by a desire of William II to emulate his predecessors in founding a splendid church and monastery. It was begun in 1172 in the middle of what was then a large park used as the summer residence for the amusement of the King. The return trip will be made in time for'dinner on board. Ship sails at 8 p.m., February 22, for Naples. Ruins of Pompeii with Vesuvius in the background I CANiSH me ■a PALERMO MEDITERIWAffCRUISE SI H MEDITERWEMf CRUISE Naples, Italy FEBRUARY 23 and FEBRUARY 24 JN o aspect in the Mediterranean is more captivating than that of the Bay of Naples, with its azure sea, its embankment of buildings, and its amphitheatre of volcanic mountains culminating in the still live crater of Vesuvius. Here was originally a Greek Colony, which Rome conquered and established as a residential city for its wealthy nobles. In the Middle Ages, Naples played a vigorous role of independence, as many of its castles and churches still testify. Its chief pride today is the splendid National Museum, with unique collections of Greek and Roman sculptures and of wall paintings and bronzes from the buried cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii. Fascinating also is the Aquarium, with its strange wild life from the waters of the Mediterranean. The Neapolitan is seen at his or her best and gayest in the adjoining park of the Villa Nazionale. Of particular human interest are the arches of the San Carlo Theatre, where the public scribes take down the love letters of the girls who cannot write. There are many points of interest in Naples, but the particular appeal to visitors is its proximity to Pompeii, Caserta, Vesuvius, and the famous Amalfi- Sorrento drive. Pompeii, a city of some 30,000 inhabitants, was overwhelmed by an appalling eruption in 79 A.D., when Vesuvius, awakening from a slumber of unknown ages, burst suddenly into terrific action, carrying devastation all around the beautiful Gulf and burying beneath deep beds of cinders and ashes the two cities Pompeii and Herculaneum. Trifling discoveries were made during the years 1594-1600, but it was not until 1748 that more serious work was undertaken, and in 1763 systematic excavations were begun. Up to 1861 the work was carried on in a more or less methodical manner, but since that date the Italian Government has prosecuted the work of excavation in a thoroughly scientific way. Today the visitor is conducted through the streets which contain ruts made by vehicles two thousand years ago and is shown the interior of shops and houses, some of which contain the original decorations. The House of the Faun, the House of Glaucus described in "The Last Days of Pompeii," the Streets of Tombs, the Temple of Isis, and many other resurrected ruins help to visualize the daily life in a Roman City shortly after the time of Christ. The Empress of Scotland will go alongside the dock at Naples, and motor cars will be provided for a half-day drive around Naples. Another half-day will be devoted to an excursion by special train to Pompeii. There will be an optional excursion by special train to Rome and Florence, rejoining the ship at Venice—see page 64; also optional excursions to Caserta and Vesuvius—see pages 64 and 67- For additional optional excursions to Amalfi and Sorrento, etc., see details of second call at Naples on page 42. Ship sails at 7 p.m., February 24, for Venice. V*3b ^ MEDITER^^«r CRUISE Venice, Italy FEBRUARY 27 and FEBRUARY 28 1 hroned in the turquoise of her wide lagoon, Venice sits dreaming of her ancient splendors. In the rippling harbor, her islands shine like pale amethysts in the morning light, and the color of her palaces is mirrored in broken beauty on the bosom of the sea. All the art of the Renaissance pulses in the wonderful harbor and the twisted skeins of the canals. Landing quays and marble steps lead to the palaces of the old nobility, and striped gondola posts repeat themselves in the ribbons of blue water. Tall, narrow windows and tiny balconies hang over the stream upon a background of lemon-yellow wall overgrown with lichen; the waterside shop of a statue-maker is brave with pastel shades of pink, and yellow, and fading green; and a blaze of scarlet creeper splashes the smooth cream surface of a baronial house. The mounting sun beats upon the bronze well-head, with its three broad shallow steps in the courtyard of the Palazzo Ducale. Out across the San Marco basin the masts of the fishing fleet hoist patched sails of russet and saffron and move slowly out between the islands. The great horses of San Marco rise, and pigeons wheel in a fluttering cloud in the shadows of the Campanile. The blue of the bay, caught in the curve of the Shiavorri, turns to moving gold and whispers to the feet of San Giorgio Maggiore. Night—and on the Grand Canal the. first sandolo of the water police glides, lampless, to meet the breathing tide. The moon soars and turns the world to silver, and above the darkened waterways windows open to the soft night air—tall, latticed and shuttered windows which might hide the chink of a Shylock's gold or the sigh of a poet to the love-warmed night. A city whose streets are canals and where gondolas take the place of taxicabs and tramcars. Its 15,000 houses and palaces, mostly built on piles and occupying an area about 6XA miles in circumference, stand on 117 small islands which are intersected by 150 canals and connected by nearly 400 bridges, most of which are built of stone. The city is divided into two main parts by the Grand Canal, two miles long and about 200 feet wide, and is connected with the mainland by a railway viaduct two miles in length. The Empress of Scotland will anchor and debarkation will be by tender. Members will be conducted by guides to the principal points of interest, including St. Mark's Cathedral, Doges Palace, Bridge of Sighs and prisons, and there will also be a three-hour gondola ride, visiting the Academy, Rialto Bridge, Frari Church, etc. Luncheon and tea will be served at the hotels on the first day. The second day will be free for independent action. Ship sails at 12 midnight, February 28, for Dubrovnik. — CAM *&*& line City Wall Dubrovmk. Jugoslavia W MEDITERMiprCRulSE r Dubrovnik, Jugo-Slavia MARCH 2 W hile the French and Italian Rivieras are known throughout the world few have heard of or visited an equally interesting Riviera, that of Dalmatia on the Adriatic Sea. It concedes nothing as regards climate to its Mediterranean rivals and far surpasses them in natural beauty and historic interest. For over one hundred years, 1814 to 1918, Dubrovnik, formerly called Ragusa, was under Austrian rule. It is now a part of Jugo-Slavia, the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Dubrovnik is the dream city of Europe, drowsily lying in undisturbed antiquity under the bare, limestone mass of Mount Sergio. Seaward fortifications rise direct from the edge of the Adriatic's waters and the white city walls follow the curve of the old moat, no longer filled with water but aflutter with waving green branches on tall trees, and gay with red-tiled roofs. Peasant women with voluminous skirts, wool-embroidered bodices and white kerchiefs, swish against Paris-gowned passengers off the cruise boats, and Montenegrin mountaineers in their full blue trousers, gold-embroidered scarlet vests, and long sleeveless coats of pale blue broadcloth, recall the fact that Anthony Hope was in Dubrovnik when he wrote the Prisoner of Zenda. Dubrovnik was not only a great political and commercial centre, a rival to Venice, but was also celebrated as a seat of learning. It was the birthplace of the Slavonic language and was one of the great sources of Serbo- Croatian literature. Its palaces, churches, streets and squares have been marvelously preserved. The Palace of the Rectors, the Sponza Or Mint, the Church of St. Blasius, the Cathedral, the Franciscan and Dominican monasteries are notable architectural monuments. The Empress of Scotland will anchor—debarkation by tender. All points of interest will be visited, afterwards returning to the ship for luncheon. Ship sails at 1 p.m. to give members a view of the picturesque Dalmatian coast. After steaming about two hours through a succession of islands, some single, some in groups, the Bay of Kotor (Cattaro) is reached. The spectacle furnished by this bay is one long to be remembered. From the Adriatic the ship traverses a narrow fjord and finds itself in a wonderful landlocked lake with mountains towering to the clouds on every hand. From this another narrow passage leads into a second lake, even larger and more sheltered than the first. At the head of the second lake, Mount Lofcen rears its snowcapped summit to the clouds. Many of the members of our 1927 and 1928 Mediterranean Cruises declared that the beauty of the Bay of Kotor excelled even that of the Norwegian Fjords. It was one of the greatest attractions on the cruise. After steaming for about four hours in the bay, the ship will again put to sea and proceed to Constantinople. cAN4|i(|p^inc The Empress of Scotland proceeds up the Bosporus as far as the entrance to the Blac\ Sea, befor anchoring at Constantinople. Daylight sail through the Dardanelles is made on the return voyage, en route to Athens Vfc MEDITERIIteWCRmSE Constantinople, Turkey .EfARLY on the morning of March 5, the Empress of Scotland will arrive at Constantinople, and after embarking guides and lecturers will proceed up the Bosporus as far as the entrance to the Black Sea, and return to Constantinople, anchoring off Leander Tower about 10 a.m. Debarkation will be by tender. Constantinople was the creation of a Roman Emperor who ransacked the temples of Italy, Greece and Syria to enrich and adorn this, his Eastern throne- city. Of the Turkish Sultans, the greatest of the builders was Suleiman, whose magnificent mosque is a reminder of the luxurious Court to which in the sixteenth century every bazaar in the East paid tribute. Most beautiful of all is the vision of the city on the Golden Horn, with its domes and minarets, palaces and ancient walls. "Formed by Nature," says Edward Gibbon, the historian, "for the centre and capital of a great monarchy." After steaming all night through the Sea of Marmara, the Empress of Scotland will pass the town of GalHpoli, a name of tragic memory in the Great War. Then comes the Strait of the Dardanelles, known to the Greeks as Hellespont, which was swum by Hero and Leander and later by Lord Byron. The strait is guarded by the castles of Rumelia, Anatolia, Kum Kaleh and Sedil Bahr. On the left is the land of Troy, famous for the great siege of Homer's "Iliad." The city is divided into three separate parts. Stamboul and Pera-Galata are on the European side, with the Golden Horn between them, and Scutari is on the Asiatic side across the Bosporus Strait. Stamboul is the Turkish city proper and Pera-Galata the European quarters where the representatives of foreign powers have their embassies and their homes. The Galata bridge between Stamboul and the European quarters is reputed to have every nationality in the world cross it at least once every hour. The most celebrated building in Constantinople is the Aya Sophia Mosque, as the Turks call the immense church of St. Sophia, erected by the Emperor Justinian in the 6th century and which is still a grand and beautiful sight despite the ravages of time. It is accounted the second largest place of worship in the world, being exceeded only by St. Peter's at Rome, and contains eight columns from the Temple of Diana at Ephesus. There are many other mosques among the places of interest in Constantinople, among them being the Suleiman Mosque, erected in 1560-66, in the time of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. Constantinople's bazaars are a great source of attraction to visitors and contain wonderful displays of Oriental goods. It is claimed that millions of dollars change hands there every day. The famous bazaars in Stamboul, built by Sultan Bayazid II, cover several acres of ground and contain about 4,000 shops. Motor cars will be provided for a comprehensive drive in and around the city, and luncheon will be served at the leading hotels. In the afternoon a visit will be made to the bazaars. Ship sails at 1 a.m., March 6, for Athens.

For who has not cherished in their heart the wish that some day they would be privileged to set foot on these shores and proceed to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jericho and many other places which were closely connected with the life of Christ. Jerusalem rises about 2,500 feet above sea-level and is surrounded by mountains, several summits of the Mount of Olives to the east reaching an elevation of nearly 3,000 feet. A wall thirty-five feet high with thirty-five towers and eight gates, encloses the ancient city. Expansion in recent years has made it necessary for many to take up quarters outside the wall. The traveller accustomed to large areas, must be prepared to find in Jerusalem one of the smallest of cities and one whose hotel accommodation is not the most modern. The streets of Jerusalem, narrow and flanked by shops and bazaars, are full of life and color. David Street, starting from Jaffa Gate on the west, and Damascus Street, from Damascus Gate on the north, run at right angles and divide the city into the Moslem, Jewish, Armenian and Christian quarters. Jerusalem has been destroyed and rebuilt so often, sixteen times at least, that some of the original streets in David's Royal City are now eighty feet underground. Traces of the wall built by Herod may still be found at the Wailing Place of the Jews. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is built on the traditional rock of Calvary, and in the centre of the church is the traditional tomb of Christ. The Mosque of Omar or Dome of the Rock, covers the rock on the summit of Mount Moriah on which Abraham offered the sacrifice of Isaac. Here was the original Temple of Solomon, and here according to the Mohammedans, the Angel Gabriel will blow the Last Trumpet. Below it is the Garden of Gethsemane, now much frequented by pilgrims. David's Tower is one of the buildings that was standing in the days of Christ. The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is built on the site of a grotto which tradition identifies with the birthplace of Jesus and is the oldest Christian edifice in the world. The Shrine of the Nativity is lit up with fifteen lamps which are never allowed to go out. Today Bethlehem is busy with the manufacture of rosaries and of crucifixes of olive-wood and mother-of-pearl. The women have a distinctive costume, with head-dress richly ornamented. Bethlehem is only a few miles from Jerusalem. The road from the Jaffa gate follows the route taken by the Wise Men from the East. It passes the field of Boaz where Ruth gleaned her wheat, and the field in which the Shepherds watched their sheep. It passes near the spot where David slew Goliath. It passes a square building with a dome known as Rachel's Tomb, built on or near the pillar that Jacob set up on his wife's grave. The Empress of Scotland will anchor in the open roadstead and debarkation will be by large flat-bottomed barges towed by tugs.

Two- and a half days will be spent in Jerusalem with accommodation and meals at the hotels. All points of interest will be visited including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Church of the Redeemer, Russian Excavations, Jews' Wailing Wall, Mosque of Omar, Mosque El Aksa, Pool of Bethesda, Pilate's Judgment Hall, Via Dolorosa, Mount Zion, House of Caiaphas, Tomb of David, Upper Chamber and Church of St. James; motor drive to the Mount of Olives, visiting the Tombs of the Kings, Church of the Ascension and Church of the Lord's Prayer; continue by motor car to Bethlehem visiting the Church of the Nativity, and the Milk Grotto, with a view of Shepherds' Field. There will also be an included motor trip to Gethsemane, Bethany, Jordan Valley, Jericho, Dead Sea and the River Jordan. The following optional excursions will be available: By motor car from Haifa to Tiberias, Sea of Galilee and Nazareth —see page 69. By special train from Jerusalem to Cairo—see page 73- By special train from Jerusalem to Cairo, thence Nile River steamer to Luxor, Thebes and Karnak—see page 70. Many places in Nazareth are identified with the boyhood of Jesus— Mary's Well, the fountain of still sweet water to which the women bring their jars, the grotto of the Carpenter's Shop found under an old church built by the Crusaders. Tiberias, Magdala, the steep places down which plunged the Gadarene swine, the slopes on which Christ preached his Sermon on the Mount, all these are still pointed out beside the Sea of Galilee. At Cana of Galilee, the Greek Church contains an earthen jar which is claimed to be one of those in which the water was turned into wine at the marriage feast. The spring is still shown from which the water is said to have been drawn for Christ's first miracle. The fishermen are still hauling in their nets as in the days of the Apostles. Ship sails at 2 p.m., March 17, for Port Said. MEDITER]^W#CRUISE MEDITERMEplTCRUISE Cairo, Egypt Arrive PORT SAID MARCH 18 Leave PORT SAID MARCH 28 1 he Empress of Scotland will anchor at Port Said and members will be conveyed by special trains to Cairo, where accommodation and meals will be provided at the leading hotels during the entire stay. The very name of Cairo has a fascinating appeal and because of its diversities in race, color and creed, it comes up to the visitor's fullest expectations. It furnishes unlimited opportunities for seeing Oriental life and environment, and at the same time you live at unsurpassed modern hotels, amid luxurious Oriental surroundings that are unique and delightful. The bazaars, the palaces and gardens, and brightly colored mosques with their numerous minarets and domes, make the days spent in Cairo never to be forgotten. In Egypt the visitor comes into contact with civilization in its earliest days, the thousands of years fly back seemingly at a touch as we gaze upon the vast collection of relics of Ancient Egypt preserved in the great museum in Cairo, at the actual treasures from the Tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen, at the face of the Pharaoh of Biblical times, at the ancient tombs and magnificent monuments of a vanished day. Cairo is the largest city in Africa, with nearly a million inhabitants. Among the buildings of exceptional interest are the Mosque of El Azhar, "The Resplendent," greatest of Mohammedan Universities, the Mosque of Amr, the Domed Tombs of the Mameluke Sultans, the tall slender minarets of the Mosque and Fort of Mohammed AH, in the centre of which is Joseph's Well, the Mosques of Tulun, Kalaun, Barbuk, Kait Bay and that of Sultan Hassan, dating from 1358. In the native bazaars you can buy exquisite gold and silver embroideries, hammered brass, inlaid furniture, the red and black glazed pottery from Assiut, silks, Egyptian mats or applique sail cloth. "Egypt is the gift of the Nile," said Herodotus, the old Greek historian. The famous and historical River Nile drains an area of over a milHon square miles. Two thousand years before Abraham, the Sphinx was carved out of the solid rock, and civilization has been traced into a still remoter antiquity of four thousand years. The pleasure of visiting Egypt may be greatly enhanced by a trip on the River Nile to Upper Egypt in steamers which rival in comfort the finest hotels or private yachts. Into the Valley of the Kings, near Thebes which is on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor, have come, at intervals during the past 100 years, archaeological expeditions financed and directed from different parts of the world. Many of them have made important discoveries, but the greatest of interest to-day is the recent discovery of the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen. The program in Cairo covers four half-days of sightseeing, which will include a motor drive to the Zoological Gardens, thence to the Mena House on the edge of the desert, where camels, sand-carts and donkeys will be taken for the trip to the Pyramids and Sphinx; carriage drive to the Citadel, visiting Mohamed Ah Mosque, Sultan Hassan Mosque and the Tombs of the Mamelukes; carriage drive to the El Azhar University, Blue Mosque, Arab CANAE NPFIC Museum and Egyptian Bazaars; carriage drive to the Egyptian Museum now contains most of the contents of King Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomb in< the sarcophagus, thence to Old Cairo, visiting the Coptic Church, Island and Amr Mosque.

Leaving Naples, the road winds up the back of the mountain and eventually Amalfi is reached where luncheon is served at the Hotel Capuccini Convent. The view from the balcony of this hotel is not to be excelled for scenic beauty. The steep rugged coast and the azure blue of the Mediterranean complete a perfect panorama. Sorrento, where tea is served, is visited on the return trip and the scenic effects reach a climax with a view of Vesuvius and the curving shore of the Bay of Naples. Facilities will also be available for those who wish to leave the cruise at Naples and travel overland to Paris via the Italian Lakes with a conducted party—see page 87- For the included excursions at Naples, see details of the first call on page 21. Ship sails at 8 p.m., March 31, for Monaco. Monte Carlo, Monaco APRIL 1 and APRIL 2 JlVLonaco, in the famous Riviera, is the capital of the Principality of Monaco and is the port for Monte Carlo, which is famous for not only its casino but for its beautiful scenery. It is one of the most picturesquely situated of the many delightful spots in the Riviera. The handsome casino, founded by Charles Gamier in 1878, is a favorite rendezvous for many of the world's notables. The Grande Corniche Road leads from Monte Carlo to Nice, up through, the mountains to a height of 1,200 feet, and returns along the shore of the Mediterranean, affording the most varied and beautiful views of this entrancing country. This road was built by Napoleon in 1806 as a military highway over which to move his vast armies. Nice has an attractive setting with a surrounding amphitheatre of hills which are charmingly diversified with villas, vineyards and gardens. The famous Promenade des Anglais, following the shore of the Mediterranean and lined with handsome villas, is the principal point of interest to visitors, but there are also many beautiful squares, boulevards and buildings. The Empress of Scotland will anchor in the bay, opposite Monte Carlo Casino, and debarkation will be by tender. In the morning members will be taken for a motor trip over the Grande Corniche Road, via La Turbie to Nice, where luncheon will be served at one of the leading hotels. The return journey will be made via Villefranche and Beaulieu to Monte Carlo, where tea will be served, returning to the ship. In the evening conveyances will be provided for members who wish to visit the Monte Carlo Casino.

She has already made seven cruises and has proved herself to be particularly well adapted to the cruising service. Her accommodations are club-like, which means luxurious living. Her fuel is oil, which means cool cleanliness. The following details are of interest:— 25150 Tons Gross Register 37700 Tons Displacement Length 699 feet; Breadth 77 feet Oil Fuel Quadruple Expansion Engines Speed 18 Knots 8 Decks for Passengers Elevator Gymnasium Sta terooms The passenger accommodation is distributed over eight decks, but owing to the limited membership, only seven decks will be used on the cruise and six of these are served by an elevator. The staterooms are handsomely furnished and many have regular beds. Not more than two persons will be placed in a room unless by request. There are plenty of single rooms for those who prefer to be alone. Rooms with private bath and toilet are provided in abundance, and there are suites consisting of bedrooms, sitting room, private bath and toilet. Plenty of bathrooms are available for passengers occupying the regular staterooms not having a private bath. All rooms have electric fans, and the ship is equipped with modern apparatus for forced ventilation. The air in the public rooms and staterooms is changed automatically every few minutes without creating a draught. Dining Saloon The Dining* Saloon, situated on Deck F, is a particularly large and delightful room, capable of accommodating 426 people at one sitting, the tables being arranged for small parties of from two to six persons. This room is decorated in the Empire style in white and gold, the furniture being of mahogany upholstered in red morocco. The centre of the Dining Saloon has a large open well extending two decks in height. Lounges The Lounge on Deck C is treated in the Louis XVI style, having a fine lay-light over the centre of the room. A large marble mantelpiece with a handsome mirror is fitted at the after end of the Lounge over the fireplace. The furniture is satinwood and includes many large settees and easy chairs. The Lounge on Deck D is in the Empire style, the decorations being carried out in white. w Empress of Scotland Empress of Scotland 3 CANAii«iiliinC Writing Rooms At the forward end of the Lounge is a Writing Room in white also of the Louis XVI period.

Card Room — Smoking Room The Card Room and Smoking Room are situated on Deck B and Deck C, the Card Room on Deck B being in the form of a broad balcony overlooking the Smoking Room. These rooms are pleasingly decorated in Dutch style with oaken walls and ceiling beams and tiled frieze and their beauty is enhanced by old ship's lamps of the hanging type. A fine oak staircase with carved newel posts is situated at the forward end of the Smoking Room, and over it are two very fine paintings. A handsome fireplace, over which are also two paintings, occupies the after end of the room. Leather-covered settees and easy chairs add greatly to the attractiveness of these rooms. Winter Garden At the forward end of Deck A there is a Winter Garden treated in white with green treillage on the walls, large casement windows and a fine dome light overhead. The floor is laid with parquetry and the furniture is of decorated wickerwork. Stone fountains with gilt cupids over them add to the beauty of this room. This room is a favorite rendezvous and is occasionally used for dancing. Palm Garden The Palm Garden, located on Deck C, is also decorated in a treillage scheme of green and white, and furnished with wicker furniture. Promenade Space The three promenade decks provide ample space for deck chairs, promenading, deck sports and dancing. The forward end of Deck C is enclosed in portable glass screens, thus ensuring comfort on deck in all weather. The length of each space is 400 feet, which ensures abundance of room for promenading and for deck chairs. On an extensive cruise of this kind, sufficient promenade space is an essential feature, as a great many people prefer to spend the major portion of their time on deck. 50 W*-.

Such members will be required to pay any Government Tax which may be in effect at these ports. Limited Membership Membership will be limited, which ensures comfort for all, aboard ship and ashore. There will be no crowding or confusion, and the faculties at the various ports, which in some instances are limited, will not be overtaxed.^ The Empress of Scotland has accommodation for 1,783 passengers, but there' will be only about one-fourth that number on the cruise. MEDITEHI^^tfrCBUISE Winter Garden Empress of Scotland CAN#Bi|i|IFIC Deposit To secure reservation, a deposit of $200 per member is required at time of acceptance of accommodation offered. A second payment, to bring the amount to 25% of the passage money, is due on or before November 1, 1928, and final payment on or before December 31, 1928. Management The Empress of Scotland is owned and operated by the Canadian Pacific; the shore excursions are arranged and executed by the Canadian Pacific— one management ship and shore—one standard of service—the best. Canadian Pacific representatives, experienced in cruising, will accompany the cruise to attend to the comfort and entertaining of guests aboard and ashore. En tertainment The hours aboard ship will pass all too quickly, as there will be so many interesting things to do—deck tennis, quoits, shuffleboard, sports tournaments, bridge, concerts, birthday parties, fancy dress and masquerade balls, dancing, gymnasium, lectures, fraternal meetings, camera club and moving pictures. The library will contain a special collection of books on travel, adventure and foreign countries. In addition a representative collection of all current literature will be placed on board, thus ensuring the latest publications being available. The Paris editions of American and English newspapers will be placed on board at various ports. Two high-class orchestras 'will be carried, one for classical music and the other for dancing. The Directress of Entertainment and the Staff Captain will assist in arranging the .various functions. Lectures will be delivered before arrival at many ports, by an interesting globe-trotter, who is thoroughly familiar with the history and customs of each country visited. Facilities The Empress of Scotland has every facility of the modern hotel: stenographer, barber, ladies' hairdresser, manicurist, masseur, masseuse, two surgeons, professional nurses, laundry, valet service, photographer, novelty shop, daily newspapers, etc. The ship is equipped with long range radio capable of maintaining communication with land at all times. Laundry The Empress of Scotland is equipped with a modern laundry and members' work will be given special attention.

CANAWMlIfclFIC Clothing for the Cruise Warm winter clothing will be required for the first and last days of the cruise, also frequently for evenings both on ship and ashore. Clothing appropriate for spring or fall wear will be required for the rest of the trip. Sultry days will not be encountered, except possibly in Egypt. An overcoat or wrap should be kept handy for use at sundown, especially in Egypt, where the temperature takes a sudden drop at nightfall. Gentlemen will find a dinner jacket will meet all ordinary requirements, as full dress is essential for only official functions. Sport clothes and appropriate costumes for the fancy dress parties, which will be given aboard ship, will be found useful. Shoes, rubbers, sweaters and raincoats should be taken from home, also an adequate supply of clothing, but the latter may be replenished at most of the ports. An automobile duster will be found useful occasionally. Deck Chairs and Rugs Deck Chairs and Rugs may be rented for the cruise at $4 each. Members are recommended to bring a sofa pillow with them for their deck chair. Travellers Cheques Members will find Canadian Pacific Express Travellers Cheques convenient on the cruise. They are issued in denominations of $10, $20, $50, $100 and $200, and may be obtained from any Canadian Pacific Office at the regular rates. Passports and Vises Passports are necessary. Married couples may travel on one passport. Most countries still require passports to be vised by their consulates or representatives. Full information regarding passports and vises will be ^ furnished well in advance of sailing day and every assistance rendered by Canadian Pacific representatives in completing necessary details. Post Office—Mail—Cables To ensure the safe delivery of mail matter at the various ports of call, a Post Office has been installed in the ship, in charge of a staff of experienced postal clerks. Members of the cruise will be furnished, when tickets are issued, with full instructions regarding the addressing of mail and cables to reach them en route. Messages to Relatives and Friends at Home The offices of the Canadian Pacific will receive cable advice of the arrival of the Empress of Scotland at each port and will notify relatives and friends of members by mail if list of names and addresses is left with them.

Religious Services Divine service will be held on Sundays, when the ship is not in port. An altar set is also provided for the celebration of Holy Mass. There is usually a Roman Catholic priest among the members. Photography As a cruise offers exceptional opportunities for amateur photography, a staff of expert photographers is carried to develop and print films for members. Films will be on sale at The Shop at city prices. Baggage and Baggage Insurance Although there is practically no limit to the amount of baggage which may be carried on the steamship it is inadvisable for members to burden themselves with too many trunks and bags. Large trunks and other baggage not regularly needed or which cannot be conveniently accommodated in the stateroom, will be placed in the large, well appointed baggage room 'which will be accessible throughout the cruise. Trunks for staterooms should not exceed 14 inches in height. On inland excursions baggage will be limited to suit cases, hand bags and other portable baggage. Every care is taken in connection with baggage, but on board the liability of the Canadian Pacific is limited, and we assume no responsibility ashore. Members are recommended to protect themselves by insuring their baggage against loss, damage or pilferage. This may be done at very reasonable rates. Storage of Baggage in England Cruise members may arrange with the Baggage Master of the Empress of Scotland for storage of their baggage at Southampton or Liverpool, at a nominal charge of $1 per month or fraction thereof for each piece. This charge will include delivery to the westbound ship on which member is returning, also transportation charges from Southampton to Liverpool in the case of those sailing from the latter port. The baggage of members sailing from Southampton, Hamburg or Cherbourg will be placed on board at Southampton. Trunks and all heavy baggage of members leaving the ship at Naples, Monaco or Cherbourg, will be taken to Southampton on the ship free of charge. Cruise members should procure their westbound labels from the Baggage Master before leaving the Empress of Scotland, and communicate with the Agent of the Canadian Pacific at Southampton, or Liverpool if sailing from there, a reasonable time in advance of the sailing, quoting the numbers of the baggage checks issued as receipt and requesting him to have their baggage placed on board the westbound ship by which they are returning.

Where the included excursions overlap the optionals due allowance has been made in the fare for the latter. Children will be charged full fare for optional excursions. Members are urged to avail themselves of these excursions, rather than attempt to make their own arrangements, 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 officers, 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 "bargains" as they afford none of the protection or service outlined above and the cars are usually crowded.

The residence of the Mudir or Governor General, the new native Police Courts, and the Government Hospital will be passed en route. The steamer leaves Assiut about noon, passing Aboutig, Maragha, Sohag arid Girzeh, a town of 15,000 inhabitants. In the neighborhood of Girzeh important discoveries of antiquitiesr have been made, most of which are placed in the Cairo Museum.

Beni-Hassan was destroyed by Ibrahim Pasha on account of constant insurrections against the Government. On the conclusion of the inspection of the Tombs, at about 11 a.m., the voyage is continued, passing close to Rodah, with the remains of the ancient Antinoe in the neighborhood. The cliffs of Gebel-Aboufayda, on the east bank of the river, soon come into view. Near the summit are several caves, in which jcodiles and other animals and mains have been found.

The ruins are very extensive and have been carefully excavated; the halls, vaulted chambers, columns and inscriptions in the Temple of Seti are wonderful and well worth the journey, and those in the Temple of Rameses, though not in so perfect a condition, are very interesting. The steamer will leave about noon, pass Nag Hamadi bridge about 3 p.m., arrive Desneh at 7 p.m. and anchor for the night. Moni r.MAi a 18 ached Leaving Desneh at 6 a.m., Keneh ii about 7-30 a.m. Keneh is an important town of 16,000 inhabitants, the capital of the province, and famous for its manufactures of Pottery Gollahs and Zeers (native filters). Denderah is visited next, and as the Temple is some distance from the river, donkeys are provided for the trip (carriages at extra cost if desired). This is one of the most important ruins on the route, and conveys a vivid impression of the colossal magnificence of the Egyptian Monuments. The journey is resumed at 10 a.m., as it is intended to reach Luxor in the early evening. Members will sleep on board. Wui MEDITER] CRUISE Tues 1 March 19 An early s vill be made as the Thebes a comprehensive character. Members are transferred from the Nile River steamer to small boats for crossing the Nile to the west bank. Here donkeys will be provided (carriages at extra cost if desired) for the trip to the Valley of the Kings with its numerous and wondrous temples and tombs, including that of King Tut-Ankh- Amen, the revelation of whose astonishing riches caused a sensation throughout the entire civilized world. Most of these antiques are now on view in the Cairo Museum. Considerable exploration work is still being done in King Tut's Tomb and the Egyptian authorities reserve the right to close it to the public when necessary. Features of interest on the drive are the two gigantic Colossi, the most celebrated of which is the Vocal Memnon, so called from a tradition that it emitted sounds when the rays of ' the morning sun fell upon it. The Temple of King Amenhotep nearby has almost entirely disappeared. A visit is made to the Temple of Koorneh, dedicated to Seti I, full of interesting sculptures and inscriptions. Proceeding next to the Valley of Biban-el-Molook, the Tombs of the Kings of the 19th and 20th dynasties, now lit by electricity, will be inspected. The party will pass the hill of Abd-el-Koorneh, and under the cliffs of the Libyan Mountain, to visit the ancient Temple Dayr-el-Bahree, with its sculptures of floating obelisks from Assuan, which is different in its plan from any other in Egypt, the Rameseum or Memnonium, in elegance and architectural beauty, excelling almost all other Egyptian monuments. The gigantic statue of Rameses II, in the court-yard, is the largest in Egypt, weighing over 1,000 tons. Members are then directed to Dayr-el-Me- deeneh, and from there to the fine tomb of Queen Nefertari, favorite wife of Rameses III. Medinet Abou is next visited. This is one of the four great temples referred to by ancient writers. Luncheon will be served at the Rest House at Thebes or at the hotel in Luxor, as permit. Dine and sleep at Wednesday, Mai a 20 The morning will be devoted tc to the magnificent Temple of Karnak. The route lies across the plain and along the Grand Avenue of Sphinxes. These are coeval with the Temple, and the way was once bordered with them on either side for the entire distance from the Temple of Luxor. The unfinished Propylon, or outer wall, still more than 100 feet in height, and the various courts having been inspected, the great hall of the Temple is visited. This hall measures 170 feet by 329 feet, and the roof is supported by 134 massive columns, 60 feet in height. The afternoon will be spent visiting the Temple of Luxor, after which there is ample opportunity for inspection of the town of Luxor. Leave Luxor 7 p.m. by special train with sleeping cars.

The Temple of Esneh, situated close to the river bank, will be visited on the return trip. The steamer will pass Edfou late in the evening and anchor at Djebel Silsileh for the night. Wei -, Mai a 20 Leave Djebel Silsileh at dawn and arrive at Komombo 7 a.m. An opportunity is allowed to visit the Temple and the steamer leaves at 9 a.m. for Assuan, which is reached after luncheon. The party will leave immediately for the grandest excursion on the Nile—a visit to the submerged Temple of Philae and the First Cataract or Rapids of the Nile, via the Quarries and Unfinished Obelisk. Donkeys and carriages will be provided for the excursion. Boats convey members to the Temple of Philae, thence to a short railway which takes the party across the Great Assuan Dam, after which boats are provided for the return journey through the locks past Elephantine Island back to the Nile steamer in time for CAN4J^!.i§IFIC The Colossi, near Thebes MEDITER] CRUISE The term "Cataract" is now practically a misnomer and the new Assuan Dam affords an interest of a very different nature and degree. The dam was designed by Sir William Willcocks. The foundation stone was laid February 12, 1899. It was opened December 10, 1902, by the Duke of Connaught. Its length is approximately one and a quarter miles, and it has 180 sluice gates. These are open during high Nile and then gradually closed, thus holding up an immense volume of water which is released as required, instead of running uselessly away to sea, as was formerly the case. It has been estimated that the yield of crops over the vast tract of intervening country is increased nine-fold and this fact must be accepted as compensation for the encroachment of the waters on the picturesque ruins of Philae, now partially submerged. An early s Thurs ', March 21 An early start after breakfast will be made to visit ti.e Tombs of Mechu, Ben and Se- Renpu, situated on the western side of Assuan. These interesting monuments were laid bare at the expense and under the direction of General Sir F. Grenfell, Major Plunkett, R.E., and other officers of the Egyptian and British armies. They date back to a very early period. Members return on board about 9 a.m. and the steamer leaves Assuan to commence the homeward journey. The steamer passes the Mountain of Silsileh.
