Or together, tho distance to bo travelled during i> month of April is 39,100 nautical miles. In ad* course this would be equal to rather more tha* - * rect and a half times round tho vlobe. In accoir tlilsdlstanco tho steamers will visit in tboar various ports of call 185 times. When It' .-/i’ffffi , e therefore, that in a single month these JLi*?* 1 !,!!™* times Into the different ports (every Z ' ve , ase 3 . ?° 185 be sold to possess its Soylla aid c 7 loading and discharging comoout ? nd . aft « times, tho wonder is not how',,' one is wrecked, but tho wreck', aro „ot^mom^'ren Nor is tho punctuality with which they call andTavo work* account.
