Knowing the quantity that sure to go, They -have chartered the Otago and Omeo, And have also arranged with the Rangitoto Back to Melbourne direct to go. The Alb umbra is also under charter, And they have secured the services of every Carter In Hokitika to look after The Stock thej'ro landing for Christmas.
