Copyright. By special permission of the P. & O. Company, from their superb set of Illustrations entitled P, O, Pencillin^s^ representing incidents on board a P. & O. Steamer from Tilbury to the East. We have confined this set almost entirely to life on board, as so many views are already in existence of the harbours and towns passed en route. To those lecturers who do not possess slides of such places we need only say that views of Naples, Gibraltar, Malta, Port Said, Calcutta, Bombay, and all such places can be had from us at the same price. 1 P. and O.
