Description

THE DEPARTURE OF THE S.S. CEPHALONIA FROM SOUTHAMPTON FOR THE CAPE.

"Shuttles of an Empire's loom." Mr. Kipling has somewhere styled the countless steamers and trading vessels that ply between all the distant regions of Greater Britain. The sight of this crowded transport—one of the liners requisitioned by Government for service during the war—-recalls at once the suggestive image. How busily have the shuttles come and gone month after month in this section of the web. carrying to Cape Town. 6,000 miles away, the unending khaki thread by which South Africa is surely, but all too slowly, being woven together into the Imperial design !
