The Daily Mail" of January 24 stated:-
Luxurious iners are leaving Eng- land almost every week with hundreds of people who are in search of the sun. In their chase after blua skies and warmth they are going to the West the Mediter- Indles, Madeira, along ranean, agd round Afric.
This rush from gloomy skles and de- pressing fogs to sunshine is having a double effect. It not only results in a pleasant holiday but it also takes thou- sands of people from the Motherland into touch with distant parts of the Empire.
Since the cold and gloom of winter desconded on England almost a score of ships have left with nearly 5,000 sunshine Beekers.
All Boats Full
A new series of sunshine cruises was introduced by the shipping companies this year, and all the boats taking part in them have left with a full comple. ment of passengers.
