Wellington-Lyttelton ADDITIONAL SPECIAL SAILINGS No time has been lost by the (Inion Company in rearranging the Welling-ton-Lyttelton express steamer service following the mishap to the Rangatira to cope with the rush of returning holiday travellers, particularly from the South Island, during the first few days of the New Year. The Maori was put into commission yesterday, and left Wellington last night for Lyttelton. As the Maori is a smaller ship, carrying fewer passengers than the Rangatira, 'more special sailings than were originally scheduled have now been arranged for, and include four daylight sailings from both Wellington and Lyttelton.
