“Tasman Greyhound”
Sir,—Your report of the negotiations for the sale of two Union company ships refers to the title of "Tasman Greymouth" being bestowed on the Rangatira. Surely this is Incorrect? The Awatea had a polished “Greyhound" wind-vane ou her foremast, denoting her title as the record-holder for the Tasman crossing up to date. Is this not so?—Yours, etc., D. K. LUMB. May 30, 1967. [The manager of the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand, Ltd. (Mr H. G. Edwards), replies: “Mr Lumb is correct in his reference to the Awatea”]
