The "Para" a Troopship

In consequence of the new contract arrangements with the Imperial Government the reliefs for the Leicestershire Regiment in the West Indies came out in the "Para." Over 300 rank and file embarked at Southampton and the majority disembarked at Barbados, 120 men, 1 Sergeant, and two officers disembarking here. The detachment was under command of Capt. Alexander, Lieut. Gordon being second in command. The men are a find looking lot and all young and ruddy. General Bengough and several Staff Officers were down to superintend the landing and this was done shortly after the ship was moored. The men then "fell in" on the wharf and marched to Up-Park Camp, when, after breakfasting they proceeded to Newcastle. The others will return in the "Para" a fortnight hence.
