PACIFIC MAIL SERVICE
Rangitata to Participate Owing to the R.M.S. Makura missing her trip to San Francisco this month, the Postal Department has arranged for the New Zealand Shipping Company’s liner Rangitata to take mail for Canada, United States of America, Mexico and West Indies when she leaves Auckland for London on May 11. Mail for these places will be landed at Panama. Tiie Rangitata will also take mail —which will not have to, be specially addressed, as is usually done for direct mails—for Great Britain, Ireland, and Europe. This is scheduled to reach London on June 13. Mails for Papeete, a port of call on the San Francisco service, will go to Sydney and be transhipped there to the motor-ship Hauraki, which calls at Papeete en route to Vancouver. The fact, that the Rangitata will take ordinary mail in place of the Makura means that, there will be no gap in the Pacific mail service.
