The Occidental and Oriental Steamshity Company maintained its line of chartered steamships on the China trade route from 1875 to 1908, though not always with the same ships. When the charters of the last tires expired, the Garlie was sent back to over by the Facile Mail Company, their England, and the Doric and Copic were taken names being changed to Asa and Persia,
Again Congress was appealed to and asked to bear its share of establishing a new trans ceanic route covered by ships carrying the Stars and Stripes. Congress responded with a subsidy of $500,000 awarded the Pacific Mail Company for carrying the mails from San Francisco to Hongkong. And thus was the service extended across the Pacific, its San Francisco was destined to become these Now York of the West.

The arrival of the first Pacific Mail steam ship at Yokohama and later on at Hongkong created much excitement in the commercial eircles of these ports, for she carried European advices fully twelve days later than those received by the steamers of the English and French lines.
