MAHENO’S HOLDS FULL
BLUFF-MELBOURNE ROUTE CARGO LEFT ON WHARF Press Association DUNEDIN, Today, Prominence was given last week to the statement that the Bluff-Melbourne service was disappointing in regard to the amount of cargo carried. The present trip of the Maheno, making Bluff the first and last port of call, disproves this contention. It Is not known definitely .what quantity of cargo was shut out of the steamer when she left Bluff at midnight, but it is known what number of trucks of timber was left on the wharf, while one firm alone was disappointed by being unable to ship 200 bales of flax. The five holds of the Maheno were filled to their utmost capacity. The altered itinerary, making Bluff the first and last port of call, is considered a step in the right direction. The large number of passengers arriving by special train connecting with the north express is also tangible proof of the increasing popularity of the route, which would be assured of success if Milford or other West Coast Sounds were included. Tho Canadian bowlers are among the passengers on beard.
