V B * «s. aBSSS. / V r%^ m SS & \u%*» A CONSPICUOUS MILESTONES IN TRAVEL MEMORY *~rHE MANY PORTS on the ■* Orient Line Route constitute an exhilarating sequence of diverse and vivid scenes .• •• • a brilliant kaleidoscope of national life and natural beauty of which the Mediterranean pom are highlights. NAPLES—unique advantage of the Orient Line Route; VlLLEFßANCHE—opportunity to visit Nice and Monte Carlo; TOULON—with its memories of the Little Corsican; PALMA—a short call, only to disembark and embark passengers: GIBRALTAR—the mighty rock that catches the imagination of all British people. What a foundation upon which to build travel memories! ' The passage through the beautiful Strait of Messina and the night spectacle of Stromboli in action provide an impressive approach to Italy. The Bay of Naples, dominated by Vesuvius emitting clouds of steam, is justly celebrated for its beauty. There are no better shore excursions anywhere than the climb by funicular railway to the Crater of Vesuvius or the drive to ruined Pompeii. Naples, to Rome and the Vatican, is the pre-eminent starting point for leisurely travel across the Continent. Short cuts to London, via Paris, may be made from the Riviera Ports. The call by Orient Liners at Villefranche—the lovely French resort—is seasonal. Here, business is nothing but pleasure! And whoever wishes to imitate the Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo may do so —from a few francs upwards. From the anchorage at Toulon—the French Naval Base—it Is a most pleasant trip by tender across the harbour. Toulon Is a quiet and quaint place. To-day, its interest centres mainly in the street markets and the waterfront'. Viewed from the decks, Palma, capita! of Majorca, is most picturesque—and suggestive of Spain. After having visited so many places—Asiatic, African, European—the thoroughly British atmosphere of military efficiency at .Gibraltar comes as a striking change. This is the last of the stepping-stones to England. Now, the liner heads for the Channel; the White Cliffs—and then on to the Thames! COLOMBO. ADEN. (CAIRO) PORT SAID, NAPLES.
