A TRANSPORT WITH TROOPS PREPARING TO START FROM SOUTHAMPTON.
"Shuttles of an Empire's loom," Mr. Rudyard 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 recalls at once the suggestive image, for it is these soldiers who help to weave the Imperial Flag. Although the transport looks crowded, when things have settled down a little on board, "Tommy Atkins" will probably find himself in fairly comfortable quarters. At present "Tommy" is all eyes for the country and kinsfolk he is leaving behind him; but soon the changing scenes will cause him to forget, more or less, the tearful eyes and aching hearts left on shore. Let us hope that there is a happy reunion for all in the near future.
