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 Saunders and made for a better performance overall.
