Great Britain's action in South Africa is in line with the duty and development of the Anglo-Saxon race. In her present struggle she deserves the unanimous support of the Ameri- can people. In case other European nations should, through international jealousies, attempt to retard her in the clear and simple duty sheTHE Company's Steamship ia performing at this time, the conduct of the

WHIRLPOOL OF PEOPLE.
At Waterloo the crowd was kept back off the platforms. At the gate to the hill leading to the South station it was a regular fight. A whirling, twisting whirlpool of neople, ant from among which the Guards came one by ene, just as if the people had been wheels, and were swirling the sollers along by the action of revolving. The last four actually did have a fight for it, for the crowd then got round them

Every now and then some whirled one way through the crowd, the tacle as they detrained at the Ocean Quay to male friend with a kitbag thought that would embark on the Union liner Gascon, for they, be passport enough to the platform. He had too, wore scarlet coats and khaki helmets.
The Union Company's steamer Moor had a number of distinguished officers on board, some 60 in all, including Lieut-Gen. Lord Methuen and Lieut. Roberts, a son of the ever-popular Bobs."Lord Methuen looked every inch a soldier as he came on board. He is tall and vigourous, with the strong square chin that be- tokens a fighter, and a man who can "get up and get;" and, moreover, he is what few British officers are, as one of his staff told the Leader representative, "a good swordsman and an ex- cellent judge fence: Methuen says it keeps old age off, too, as well as teaching a soldier how to use his weapon."
A STIRRING SCENE.
The Moor was besieged all day with officers and relations, and proïented a stirring scene, although the Nubia, timed to leave the docks at two o'clock, was almost as interesting at the time of the Duke of Connaught's, visit. South umpton Water was crowded with craft, includ. ing excursion steamers black with frantically cheering people, and the little ferry across to the Extension was constantly busy with berib boned officers and smart damsels rubbing shoulders with dockers and ships' stokers.
Generals and colonels were met with at avery turn, and mere lieutenants and captains were as plentiful as blackberries. Everywhere from bands, cornets in the crowd, tin whisties, and hundreds of throats came the strains of" In Trafalgar Bay," occasionally varied with "Tomnty At ins and Rule Britannia
Then the Goorkha, whose ganways had been and huraba dividing the ferry was busier than ever with Pressmen rushing back to the telegraph shed and others who wanted to get to the last paint of view, but after all the Goorkha only moved over to the extension to take more troops aboard.

Meanwhile the troopship Armenia, owned Messrs. Frederick Leyland and Company, Limited, of Liverpool, was taking on board several batteries of artillery, which had been transported from Aldershot, &c.

ADVENTUROUS SPTCTATORS. While waiting for the train people got on to a neighbouring platform, and there were many incidents fraught with the greatest danger. A whole host swarmed down on to the metals-chief outside Waterloo station! The police them. selves ran several risks in nipping out of the way of the trains.
Then some people climbed signal posts Others got on the tops of trains and bad to be called down just as the trains were starting, Quite a lot of people erased over the bedplate of an engine.from ane platform to another, and just as a woman with a child in her arms was going to do so the engine started.
At last the Grenadiers' band moved up to the end of the platform, the guard whistled, the band played "Auld Lang Syne," and the scream of cheers-became-like a fierce gust of wind, and away the Grenadiers went.
AT NINE ELMS.
Nine Elms station was also used for the pur- pose, as well as Waterloo. From these two points seven long trainloads carried the 3,000 Guardsmen-Scots, Coldstreams, and Grena diers-to Southampton.
It was to this station that the Duke of Con- naught in the uniform of the Scats Guards attended by Col. Egerton and the Duke of Cambridge, went to see the entrainment of the troops. Many well-known staff officers were also present: Major-Gen. Trotter, in command of the Home District; Malor-Gen. Campbell, and many others,

"GOOD-BYE AND GOOD LUCK.* At four o'clock the Nubin, white, stately and crowded, started in earnest, followed by shouts and siren blasts until she was lost to sight, the sound of the saluting guns of the Australia as she passed coming up in the gathering gloom. A little electric launch came skimming over the water to the Moar, a mighly roar of wel- come rose as the crowd recognised the Duke of Connaughty accompanied by Gen. Moncrieff. After inspecting the vessel and watching the last detachments embark, the Duke bade the officers good-bye, and tarning on the gangway, again cried heartily" Good-bye and good luck to you sentiment loudly echoed by the lookers.

One would have thought that even the leather lungs of patriotic Southamptonians were tired after a day's cheeringybur dark as it was when the Goorkha at last drew slowly away, the cheers were still hearty and loud;

Sunday's Departures.
COLDSTREAM AND ROYAL ENGINEER RESERVES LEAVE LONDON.
In spite of the prevalence of heavy fog and damp atmosphere, Londoners turned out in the departure for Southampton of the reservists their thousands yesterday morning to witness of the 1st Coldstream, Guards, who are to join the main body of the battalion at Gibraltar and proceed with them to South Africa.

The reservists were 360 strong, and 'were Lambton, with whom were Capt. Wilkinson, under the command of Major the Hon. W. Lieut. Hutchison, Lieut. Wild, and-MajorCrook Lawson,
POPULAR ENTHUSIASM
They paraded at Wellington Barracks at eleven o'clock, and started half an hour later for Waterloo station, headed by the band and Hrums of the Coldstream Guards."
The exit from the barracks was crowded, and the troops were cheered with great heartiness.
All along Birdcage Walk'the crush was great, and the popular enthusiasm extraordinary, but a climax was reached where the roadway nar rows at Storey's gate, and despite all the efforts of mounted and foot police, the formation was temporarily broken up, and the men had to work their way through in single file.
Friends and relatives crowded round indi- vidual soldiers to get a final handshake, or general body of the crowd caress, while the kept up a constant ovation.
ON THE WAY TO WATERLOO. the throng was great, and the upproach to Over Westminster-bridge and along Yock-rd. Waterloo station would have been blocked entirely but for the presence of a very strong police force under the direction of Major Gil bert, which managed with difficulty to keep open a paisage wide enough for the troops. all save the milliary and a few privileged The departare platform was kept clear of civilians.
Among those present were noticed Mafor. Gen. Trotter (commanding the Home District), Capt. Bayley, Col.

It had been intended that they should start on Sunday, but ewing to delays caused by the fog they were unable to do so.
Shortly before one o'clock the City of Vienna cast off her moorings and began slowly to back down the basin in tow of a tug. Ashore there was no sort of send-off. The public were rigorously excluded from the precincts of the cock, and beyond a score or so of duckers, con- stables, and quayside men there was hardly anyone to witness the departure of the vessels. "GOOD LUCK,"
A cheery "Good luck to you" from an officer standing on the quay was the only farewell given,
