Ocean Travel Discomforts Passengers on the ocean routes are restricted to-day in their enjoyment j o£ some of the choicest features of j poace-time travel, and the nightly j black-outs for the safety of ships and their complements entail much discomfort especially in the tropic seas. Gisborneitcs who reached New Zealand this week after a voyage from Britain, via Panama, mentioned that the only occasions upon which portholes were unsealed during the passage were when the vessel lay in neutral ports at Curacao. Dutch West Indies, and Balboa, in the Panama Canal zone. The adventure with an enemy submarine, which unsuccessfully tried to get within range of the ship, silenced for awhile the grumblings of those who felt that restrictions might be lifted beybnd the immediate war zone. When in Napier be sure to call at the “Home of Good Eats” —that’s the •Troeadero”—Hastings Street.*
