“As bad, as rough and as bumpy as you could imagine,” is the description given by Mr C. H. Wilkie, of Napier, now on a tour of the world, to the Trans-Siberian railways over which he recently travelled en route from Dairen to London. Mr Wilkie states in a letter to a relative in Napier that there was one delay of over 10 hours during his journey when twe carriages jumped the rails while passing through a Siberian forest. In comparison with this the railway through Germany and Poland was- first-class. The journey from Dairen to Loudon took from July I to July 14.
