Distance from Foxton to Levin Station about 14 miles, the road going through the prettiest scenery in the district. During the nearly four years' service over the Wirokino Ferry, the mail has been delivered every day, in spite of floods. As showing THE ADVATAGE OF THIS ROUTE, even during the week of the late heavy flood, the mails and 27 passengers were conveyed by boat and vehicles.
