AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The good ship R. M. S. "Colossal" is homeward bound to London. Our old friends, Dad, Dave, Mum, and Sarah are aboard, determined to "see Naples and live"—and London, Paris, and Berlin, likewise. Having won the lottery, they take a passage on a palatial liner, with the intention of having a good time in Europe. Meanwhile, there is all the fun of shipboard life to be enjoyed, and Dad and Co. enter into the spirit of the thing with zest. Deck games, fancy-dress balls, flirtations, mild and otherwise, serve to beguile the voyage with good-humored hilarity. Being new to shipboard life, Dad and Mum find themselves in many amusing situations, which are exploited to the full.'
