That was a "pleasure cruise" in deed, with long lazy days at sea in- terspersed with calls into strange ports and fascinating glimpses of curious people, life and customs. In those waters you get unbroken days and nights of sunshine and velvet- blue star-dusted skies, s019 as smooth as a millpond, only the soft breeze of the ship's progress to fan and cool you.

But in those days I could not, as you can now, book a berth in the one ship and leave it to her to bring me to the ports of my desires. I had to chop and change from ship to ship, figure and ferret out each stage of my route and find a ship to take me over it, narrowly escape being marooned in a port which,

The Islands were worth all the trouble I had to find them, and with anyone who sees them there must always remain memory-pictures of bottle-green waters breaking in creaming surf along the coral reefs, still lagoons reflecting like mirrors the dazzling white beach, the fring- ing circle of cool green trees and clustered palms, of colourful native life, flower-garlanded girls dancing, or men, women and children playing like dolphins in the water.

To me it is still rather fantastic that you can now walk down a grey city street into a shipping office and book a passage to those Islands of the Blest as easily as you can take a ticket to Aberdeen, that as you steam down Channel on the first day! out, you can unpack, and stow in your cabin wardrobe the swimming suit that will be ready there for you to wear when surf-riding off the (Continued on Page 10.)
