AUSTRALIAN MAIL
Consignment by Kalingo DUE AT NAPIER TO-MORROW The s,s, Kalingo, which will arrive in * Napier to-mqrrow direet from New^ cattle will bring nine bags of Australian mail as well as aipmail dispatqhcd froqi London on May 29, The Monowai^ and the cargo steamer Kairanga, whicli arrjved at Auckland from Sydney last Monday, were the last inward mail steamers and, except for the Kalingo, no further mails will reach New Zealand until the arrival of the Maunganui in Wellington on Tuesday. Many opportunist devices have been used by the Australian postal authori. ties in the consignment of mails to New Zealand. Numbers of intereolonial freight steamers have carried mail to New Plymouth from Sydney, and the passage of the Australian .trawler Allie Cam to New Zealand with London air mails is still remembered by many. It is nevcrtlieless cxceptional that mail sliould be taken between Neweastle and Napier, 1423 nautical miles apart, in a steamer wliich aiakes no claim to the speeds of the transTasman passenger vcssels trading to Auckland and Wellington.
