Popular as the “Orotava” has become, the “Caribbean” is larger and faster and in every way represents a considera- ble improvement upon the ship she displaces. Those who have not yet decided where to go for a Fall vacation would do well to write us, or ask any Steamship Agent for one of the Royal Mail Co.’s Illustrated Guide Books and price lists. Bermuda is only 45 hours from New York, and President Wilson described it in these words: “The best place in the world that I know for a rest. The moment you get there, there isn’t a care on your mind; you can’t do anything but play, try as you will.” Tickets cove all mses of the Tour from New York back to New York cost from $40.00 to $75.00, according to position of your berth on the steamer.
