MANY JOURNEYS
MUCH TRAVELLED LETTER A letter addressed to Mr. E. Feaver, of Maungatapere, near Whangarei, and despatched from England by the illfated air-liner Calpurnia, travelled three times between Britain and New Zealand before it reached its address. When mail salvaged after the Calpurnia crashed arrived in New Zealand, Mr. Feaver's letter had apparently lost its envelope and it ultimately reached a Taranaki resident in an official envelope. The recipient, realising that a mistake had been made, returned the letter to the sender in England. After its third journey across the world it reached Mr. Feaver a few days ago.
