Oriental Shipper

That this port has led ́othor Pacific Coast ports in foreign. :commerce values for many years is due in a large measure to the fact that Seattle is situated on the shortest trade route to the Far East. By a study of the world's globe, it will be found that the Seattle route follows the great circle close to the Aleutian Islands, which is the shortest route across the Pacific by several hundred miles. During the war, when freight and charter rates were high, Seattle jumped very quickly in the lead of all other Pacific Coast ports.

Hongkong, 2nd June 1928.

The Royal Mint on Tower H was completed by Sir Robert Smirke in 1811 at a: cost of £260,000. Before this date the nation's money was minted within the Tower itself by means of appliances that had been improved but little since the erection of that fortress. Power for the roll- ing mills was obtained by four horses ever going their weary rounds. The cutting-out presses were actuated by the muscular strength of gangs of brawny labourers. Up till the end of Elizabeth's reign these latter were "pressed" for the work-exactly us were scamen for the Royal Navy and had to reside in the Tower. until their period of -im- pressment was completed..
