Abstract
MANY of those who made up the “Oversease Party” of the British Association at the recent Australian meeting have now returned home. In a former article it has been stated that some members found it necessary, after the Orient liner Orvieto was requisitioned by the Common-wealth Government, to return a week earlier by the P. and O. vessel Maiwa, which they were only able to catch at Adelaide by leaving Sydney the day before the conclusion of the meeting there; the number of those who did this was twenty-six. The steamer Dernosthenes, leaving Australia earlier still, viâ South Africa, carried a few members. The following P. and O. ship, the Morea, a fortnight later than the Maiwa, carried a party of more than sixty, who were in England by October 16 after a voyage favoured by beautiful weather—as, it may be added, the meeting had been.
