for cargo vessels to take the route round Cape Horn. More and more Br.tish ships were plying that way on pas sagee England and Australia and Now Zealand. The charge for a vessel of 9000 tons through the Panama Canal was about £2OOO, and although the trip round Cape Horn lengthened the journey by six and aha.lf days, the loss of time was more than compensated for in the financial saving. For the ship the size of the Durham those six and a-half days

meant a cost of about £3lO, which meant that on the whole journey. £l7OO was saved.
