HOME ON THE SEA
ENGLISHMAN’S BOOKINGS.
CABIN FOR THREE VOYAGES.
LONDON, August 30.
A passenger to Australia by the liner Barrabool is Major W. E. Lang, who says ho intends to make his home aboard 1 .
The Major has booked 1 a cabin for three voyages between London and Brisbane, and says he would have hooked even further ahead, but the company declined to accept the extra bookings. However, ho intends to book future trips directly the company allows him.
Major Lang says he has decided that there is no better life than travelling by liners. Anyone can have a splendid time on £4OO a year. It is pathetic, lie says, to see numbers of retired men spending lives of stagnation. He intends to play golf at all ports, especially at Colombo, which, he says, has ono of the finest courses he knows. Major Lang has placed his own pictures, desk and chairs in his cabin. He has been six times to South America, seven times to China and Japan, and three times to Australia.
