They are Italian boys, but they dress and work just the same as their
British brothers. They have done a lot of camping out, and are all
very good at cooking their grub. And also they do a bit of sea
scouting in the splendid harbour and bay of Naples.
ON AN ORIENT STEAMSHIP
OUR FLOATING HOME.
Our ship of twelve thousand tons, R.M.S. _Orsova_, was more like
a floating hotel than a sea-going vessel, and the passengers living in
bright, comfortable cabins with a fine dining saloon and first-rate
food, could hardly imagine the work that was going on in other parts
of the ship to insure their travelling with such ease and speed and
safety.
A tour round the ship, such as we made one day, is full of interest
and wonder. The second-class passengers are housed and fed just as
well as those in the first-class, and there is accommodation for 230
of them.
In the third-class, again, they are wonderfully comfortable in cabins
for two or for four people each, with nice dining and sitting-saloons,
and a roomy, roofed-in deck where they can enjoy the fresh air in all
weathers.
