Still “Standing
By” — but greater activity in
Lemnos harbour Today is
indicative of an early move.
About 4 pm a number of the
transports & warships proceeded
page 38
to the outer harbour in
readiness to put to sea in
proper order & with despatch.
Great enthusiasm prevailed
as the various ships passed one
another — also going by the French
Russian & British warships. Two
of the largest of the splendid
fleet of transports are 2 Cunard
Liners Aionian & Leuconia each
of which has over 3000 Tommies
on board.
