New Zealand Liners
HISTORY MADE AT PLYMOUTH LONDON, Jan. 2. For the first time in the history of the Port of Plymouth two homewardbound liners from New Zealand were in the Sound together immediately before Christmas. In pre-war days there was a regular and close association with Plymouth and New Zealand, the steamers of the New Zealand Shipping Company and of the Shaw, SaviJl and Albion Company calling regularly outward and homeward bound. Now, in tho ordinary way, there is just an out-ward-bound call, chiefly for the purpose of embarking despatches and a supplementary mail by vessels of the New Zealand Shipping Company’s fleet. With tho idea of the passengers getting home in good time for Christmas, the Rangitiki and Rotorua called at Plymouth the other day. The Rotorua left New Zealand six days ahead of the Rangitiki, but the latter led the way into the harbour over two hours ahead of the older vessel. A special train was arranged by the New Zealand Shipping Company to convey passengers to London. All were generally appreciative of the company’s arrangements for their comfort.
