Last Wednesday I went down to Southampton Docks to see my partner off to New-York on one of our largest liners. What colossal ships these cruisers are when you see them from the landing-stage along the quay. I had a pass, so I went on board and I had a look round. From the top deck I could see the huge cranes lifting cargo and depositing it in the holds. I saw members of the crew carrying out their duties in various parts of the ship while the captain watched the operations and gave his orders from the bridge. Then the siren sounded and the visitors made for the gangways. Finally the ship began to move off, and the passengers, leaning over the rails, waved good-bye to their friends standing below amongst the crowd. Slowly she left the harbour, passing beyond the pier, and gradually disappeared in the distance.

A few days later I myself had to go to Paris. The journey was urgent and I went by air. A special bus provided by the company took us to the airport. On the airfield we saw a large plane waiting for us. We climbed into it, and at exactly twelve o'clock it took off. Very soon our "magic carpet" reached the sea, and shortly afterwards we saw the French coasts. It wasn't long before we arrived at our destination. Our pilot made a perfect landing and we got out of the plane.
