The Captain and Oncers were indefatigable in their efforts to see that everyone was happy, and the staff of stewards were magnificent in their cheerful and tireless service.
A party on such a gigantic scale calls for enormous organisation and the fact that this one went with a swing from the word go is a fine tribute to those responsible. When I left at 8.30 p.m. there were. still crowds of people sitting about with that pleased and settled look which bespeaks appreciation of excellent entertainment.
