Vespela carrying a few first-class pussen- gers are maintained, A round Voyage in one of these ships offers a holiday at extremely low cost.
Betiap the most striking fea- ture is the low
rate charged,
which compares more than favour- ally with the cost of a holiday on shure, but which includes all the amenities a life associated with such an efficient organisation as a The Funnel ship. It is possible to make a return voyage to the South of France, Egypt, Colombo, the Straits Settlements or South Africa at an inclusive cost of less than £2 per day, which is approx- inutely the charge, for a first- class hotel.
Shorter Voyages. Among the shorter voyages the trip to the South of France is al- ways popular; between April and September the return fare is only £22. This sum includes first-class rail travel from London to Liver- pool in the special train run in connection with the outward sail-i ing.

The capital of the Flensburger Steamship Company will, therefore, be reduced from 3,600,000rm. to Company from 2,400,000rm to 1,600-
000rm.
