BOTH IN PLYMOUTH
RANGITIKI AND ROTORUA j (From "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, December 30. For the first time in the history of Plymouth two homeward-bound liners from New Zealand were in the Sound together, immediately before Christmas. In pre-war days there was a regular and close association oetween Plymouth and New Zealand, the steamers of the New Zealand Shipping Company and of the Shaw, Savin, and Albion Company calling regularly outward and homeward bound. Now, in the ordinary way, there is only ar. outward-bound call, chiefly for the purpose of embarking dispatches and a supplementary mail by vessels of the New Zealand Shipping Company's fleet. With the idea of the passengers getting home in good time for Christmas, the Rangitiki and the Rotorua called at Plymouth yesterday. The Rotorua left New Zealand six days ahead of the Rangitiki, but the latter entered the harbour over two hours ahead of the older vessel. A special train was arranged by the New Zealand Shipping Company to convey passengers to London. All were generally appreciative of the company's arrangements for their comfort.
