A Guard of Honour of the K.O.S. B. was in attendance at the Pier, as were the newly formed Portu- guese Company of the Volunteer Defence Corps at Government House, the latter being a pleasing feature for the distinguished visitor.

Queen's Pier was decorated with

palms and uniform flags of the various nationalities, the steps from the water's edge being draped with the British and Portuguese enaigns. On the left were drawn up members of the Government and Naval and Military Officers, while members of the Portu- guese community faced
