In one . respect , the Marama is different—hospi- 1 tal wards have been fitted nj) in tlie i -.. holds, a" special new deck having been | . : ;built below the hatches . .for this pur- . pose. There is nothing on the Marama which a casual. observer would wish to have different, biit for all that the iin- ' pression one gathers .is that-the-ship is not so- luxuriously fitted as was the No. 1 ship. - But the Marama is Bigger, and will probably be moro useful.
