A SPEEDY LINER
New Zealand-London In Twenty-five Days Dominion Special Service. Dunedin, Aiay 13. Some fast passages between Home and New Zealand ports have recently directed attention to the speed of modern steamer travel. In this connection a claim is made on behalf of the Blue Star liner Sydney Star that if she were travelling at her maximum speed of 20 knots she would cut down the average run from New Zealand to London by five days. The Sydney Star, full out, could do the run in 25 days, a reporter was informed by the navigating officer ot the liner. The vessel sailed from Port Chalmers this afternoon to finish discharge of her London cargo at Bluff. She will then proceed to load at Australian ports for the United Kingdom,
