THE MAKURA FIRE AND SMART POSTAL DELIVERY. The illustration shows the remnant of a postcard damaged in the fire on the Makura, sent by Mr J. C. Spedding from Venice to Mr W. H. Pountney, of Auckland. Despite the almost complete obliteration of the address the intelligent postal official, by deciphering the few letters remaining, succeeded in delivering the lettercard to its correct destination.
