Mrs [[Henrietta Tullis]] organised this very successful Gilbert and Sullivan recital on [[the Viceroy of India]]. All of the passengers from table 8 took part. The running order was:


1 - "Three Little Maids From School"  - Mrs Tullis, [[Francesca Nicholson]], [[Patricia Berry]]

2 - "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" - [[Stephen Thomas]]

3 - "A Policeman's Lot is Not a Happy One" - Rev [[Ian Gore]]

4 - "[[A British Tar is a Soaring Soul]]" - [[Browne]], [[Withers]], [[Saunders]], [[Julian Knight]]

The best singers proved to be Miss Nicholson (who managed a beautiful delivery despite the overacting of Mrs Tullis) and Mr Thomas, though the comedy policeman routine by Reverend Gore (who had obtained a replica policeman's helmet from somewhere)  brought the loudest applause.

The "British Tar" number was notable for Withers and Knight attempting to out-sing each other, which happily disguised the lesser talents of Browne and Sunders and made for a better performance overall.
