In these circumstances more and more the wonder grows of how the Mission with | Its large escort has been able to get under way and keep itself supplied in a region the resources of which it would seem a single traveller taxes to the uttermost. And yet the 'miracle has been worked, not byƐaupernatural | means, simply through the agency of the Supply and Transport Corpe, an organisation which seems to meet in the most extraordinary wav all demands that are put upon it. And not only is the miracle worked, but it is worked without any signs of the strenuous activity that one would naturally expect.
