An Unusual Shipment.

The photograph below shows a train load of chaff at Picton ready to load by the “Kawatiri” for Australia. 17,500 sacks requiring 125 trucks were forwarded in this consignment.

The following letter of appreciation was received by the Stationmaster in Charge from the sender, Mr. A. M. Corry:— This is merely to let you know that we appreciate very much the assistance and facilities your Department afforded us in getting away our shipment of chaff per “Kawatiri.” The consignment was an unusually large one and the trouble your Department took to facilitate our operations enabled us to keep the steamer fully employed and her agents to give her record despatch. We thank you very heartily for your cooperation which rendered the contract we undertook with the Union Company to be carried through smoothly and without a hitch.
