We published last week a picture of the August bank holiday crowd at Brighton, the famous English resort on the South Coast. This week we present a picture of the great Lancashire resort, Blackpool, where scores of thousands of operatives go for amusement. It is estimated that there were half a million visitors to Blackpool on this bank holiday. Our iceberg pictures were taken by the Discovery 11. expedition in Southern Seas. The object in the bottom left picture is a bottle green berg. More curious still is the great banded berg (top right), traversed from end to end with a straight band of dark material some fifteen feet wide. The group of sailors and marines in modern and ancient dress was taken during Navy Week at Plymouth in August.
