XVII. Luggage, &c. —All luggage should be distinctly marked in paint with the name of the passenger and the ship ; and boxes containing articles which will be required on the voyage should have the word " Wanted" written conspicuously upon them. The whole quantity of luggage for each adult, allowed free of charge, is 15 cubic feet measurement, and this may be either brought on board by the emigrant on the day of embarkation, or forwarded to the Docks previously. Luggage in excess of this quantity will be chargeable with freight at a rate not exceeding Is. per cubic foot. Notice of the number and sizes of the packages containing such extra luggage, should bo sent to the Shipping Agents at least five days before the day of embarkation. Emigrants must present themselves at the ship on the day named for embarkation on the contract ticket. As all boxes are put into the hold of the ship, and those marked "Wanted" can be got at about once a month during the voyage, the emigrant should keep a supply of linen for immediate use in a canvas bag, which he can keep in his berth.
