BAGGAGE.
The attention of Passengers by the Company's Steamers is respectfully requested to the undermentioned Regulations in reference to Baggage: much trouble and loss are occasionally caused by their neglect or non- observance. These Regulations are equally important to Passengers performing the land journey between Alexandria and Suez, for the Egyptian Transit Administration will not accept any responsibility unless they be strictly complied with.
The Baggage of Passengers booked by the Company's Steamers will be received at their West End Branch, 25, Cockspur Street, S. W., if delivered not later than 3 p.m., on the Monday previous to the Steamer's sailing from Southampton. Such Baggage will be received, forwarded, and shipped at the rate of 7s per cwt. Baggage at Passenger's risk unless insured.
All Baggage should be packed in Leather Portmanteaux or Trunks, marked with the Owner's name and Port of destination in Paint, in full, and fastened securely with case locks, padlocks and leather straps being liable to damage or removal.
The Transit Administration will not be responsible for the safe conveyance of insecure Packages. Canvas Covers to Packages of Baggage are not recommended, as they are frequently removed, and lead to the loss of the Packages.
The Baggage of Passengers must contain only their personal effects; Packages containing Jewellery, Plate, and other valuables, must be specially declared and registered prior to shipment, and Freight paid thereon. Any infringement of these Regulations will subject the Packages to detention for Freight by the Company's Agents, and to confiscation by the Egyptian Government.
First-Class Passengers are allowed on board 336 lb′ of personal Baggage free of Freight; Children of First-Class Passengers (over three and under ten years), Second- Class Passengers and Servants, 168 b; Children of Second-Class Passengers (over three and under ten years) 84 lb each.
A Passenger taking a reserved Cabin is entitled to take in the Steamers, free of Freight, 4% cwt.; and a married couple, paying for reserved accommodation, are entitled to take 9 cwt.
“
In order to facilitate the shipment and stowing of Baggage, Passengers are re- quested to have their Packages distinctly marked "Cabin," "Wanted on Voyage," or Not Wanted on Voyage," as the case may be. The Baggage of Passengers from Brindisi and Venice, shipped from Southampton to join them at Suez, should be marked "Wanted at Suez," and the Baggage of Homeward Passengers, viâ Italy, which they wish to take with them through the Continent, should also be marked "Wanted at Suez.' Labels can be obtained on application at the Company's Office.
The charge for the conveyance of Extra Baggage is-

Between any two Ports East of Suez, 10s per cwt.
