1926
There was a smooth voyage to Rangoon, during
which deck dancing, lectures, travel talks and water
sports were greatly enjoyed, while special Easter
Sunday services on board were particularly appre-
ciated.
Today your friends are listening to "the tinkly
temple bells" and watching the "elephants a-pilin'
teak" in Burma, as Kipling sees it,"quite unlike
any land you know about a very new land-a
land where the people understand color a delight-
fully lazy land full of pretty girls and very bad
cheroots." And the gorgeous Shwe Dagon Pagoda!
UNITED AMERICAN LINES
RANGOON, the capital of Burma, is the Rome of the
Buddhist faith. Consequently its temples, shrines, mon-
asteries and religious monuments are numerous, many of
them being of exquisite design and workmanship, a notable
one being the Shwe Dagon Pagoda, the crowning structure
in Rangoon. The pinnacle is 400 feet high. "Here will be
heard the tinkle temple bells", Kipling wrote about.
