C. and Seattle via the Short Route, and the next week one to San Francisco and Los Angeles vin Honolulu. Every two weeks a President sails for the Straits, Colombo, via Suer to the Mediterranean, direct to New York, Boston and California. And every few days one of them

sails Interport. That's what I call real* steamship service.”
