Descriptive text from separate pages at the back which cannot be supplied (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) BRITISH JACK TARS IN A BURMESE MARKET. In all parts of our Empire the British sailor is certain to meet with a cordial welcome, for everywhere his honest and jolly disposition is well known. To the Burmese—with their love of feasting, sight-seeing, and merry-making of all kinds - our sailors are always greeted with demonstrations of joy. In the picture we see some sailors in the act of bargaining with the natives for fruit, and judging from the good humour on their countenances, it is fairly evident that the driving is not very hard. Our sailors have a hearty respect for the Burmese, who are brave, possessed of amazing activity and strength, and in what we call stamina are scarcely, if at all, inferior to the British race, whom they resemble in their love of wrestling, boxing, and similar amusements.
