The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 60

Direct Service

Direct Service.

Tour Committee is pleased to notice that the service is now firmly established, and has undoubtedly proved of great benefit to the Colony. The mails carried by the New Zealand Shipping Company's Royal Mail Steamers, alternating with the San Francisco Service, have been delivered in London and in this Colony, with commendable regularity and invariably within the contract dates. The speed which the lines maintain both home- page 14 ward and outward will bear favourable comparison with any other long-distance service in the world. It is satisfactory to notice that the direct steamers of both lines are bringing out each voyage large numbers of second saloon passengers, a class of emigrants that invariably prove to be excellent colonists.
