Holt, tho master of the ship, and commodore of the company's Southampton fleet, ended, by his retirement, a remarkable record. During 44 years at sea he has steamed over 1,000,000 miles; travelled five times round tho world under sail in his apprentice days; made over 100 crossings of tho Atlantic, and crossed tho English Channel nearly 8000 times. During tho war he ran almost every night between Southampton and Havre.
