At Suez, Orient liners anchor some distance from the shore. Soon, native bumboats, with vociferating traders and all manner of Eastern wares, cluster around the ship. Usually their business is conducted with quite as much amusement to the ship's company as profit to the vendors. The town lies to the west of the Canal entrance and across the unusually soft-looking water its pink, blue and white buildings, thrown into high relief by the strong sunlight, seem surprisingly tall. Only those passengers disertibark who arc setting off on the Suez-Cairo-Port Said excursion. You may think that you’ve seen mirages in Australia, but those you will encounter while motoring across the desert from Suez to Cairo almost surpass belief... Cairo ! ... You are to see Cairo —bazaars, mosques, minarets, relics of the Pharaohs. Pyramids and all! The Royal goods and chattels, .garnered from the ancient tombs, show us COLOMBO. ADEN. (CAIRO) PORT SAID. NAPLES. VILLEFRANCHE (MONTE CARLO, NICE). TOULON. PALMA, GIBRALTAR. SOUTHAMPTON and so to LONDON I exactly how the Pharaohs lived. What craftsmanship in "gold and lapis lazuli is displayed in Tut-ankh-amen’s sarcophagus! Perhaps your grandest memory will be of the inscrutable Sphinx. No doubt her agelong vigil over the human procession is reason enough for holding mixed feelings about Man ! But stand between the great stone paws. You are at the Shrine of Travel —in the very presence of the High Priestess ! Possibly, if you arc of those to whom stones mean something beyond mute masonry, she may unbend to you. Then, as your train skirts the canal on the way to Port Said, and you sample Egyptian coffee—thick enough to stand a spoon in—you see the big ships moving along the Canal, searchlights on bows, looking like gigantic motor cars. And, if your luck is In, the moon will be a clear and brilliant crescent —just as it should be in Egypt. No one looks for scenery at Port Said : but it teems with human interest. Probably, like many others, you will be labelled by the sly vendors of beads and Turkish Delight at Sir Mclntosh or Mr. Lauder! Memories of days in Egypt remain indelible! 0 ORIENT LINE UNION STEAM SHIP CO. OF N.Z., LTD., Agent# throughout New Zealan ROVfIL m fl I I STEfIITIERS

Seals were caught recently off the coast at Saint-Brieuc, Brittany.- Their presence in those waters is unusual, and fishermen regard it as an omen of bitter cold. Advertising points out the merits of ? product and impresses the buyer with its desirability.
