give Faster Service
THE two new Matson liners, “Mari posa” and “Monterey,” which take over the Pacific service of the Com pany from the “Sierra,” “Sonoma” and “Ventura,” from May of this year, will provide much faster trips than at pre sent.
They will leave San Francisco at four-weekly intervals, and will make the trip to Sydney, via Honolulu, Pago Pago, Suva, and Auckland in 20 days as against 26 days at present.
The trips from Suva to Auckland and Auckland to Sydney will be each short ened by one day. This will mean that the voyage from Suva to Sydney by the new liners will take six days, instead of eight by the present Matson and Union Co. vessels.
