FLOATING BABEL
IMMIGRANT ARRIVE TWENTY-ONE NATIONS With the clatter of divers tongues, the Cephee, which has arrived itt Sydney, was a veritable floating Babel. She brought immigrants of 21 nationalities. These were tlie countries represented; Yugoslavia, Esthonia. Greece, Italy, Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Belgium. Russia, Cyprus, Switzerland. Palestine, Poland, Spain. Albania, Latavia, Syria, Sweden and India. A number of restricted migrants who are bound for the New Hebrides or for New Caledonia, will be kept on board the ship until the Dupleix arrives from Noumea, when they will be transhipped. * Of 32 Indians on board, 12 returned to Australia after having visited their homeland. Twenty are settlers for New Zealand, which country permits Indians, as British subjects, to land there, after approval by the authorities in India. The Cephee’s migrants totalled 299.
