"S.S. Suva" Leaves for Pacific Ports in November
THE 9,000-tons steamer “Suva”, newly built for the W.R.C. Line (Carpenter & Co., Ltd.) is expected to sail from London about November 12 for Pacific ports, via Panama. She will go, first, to Vancouver, and thence to Apia, in Wes tern Samoa.
The Carpenter firm hope to provide, with their new ship, a regular service be tween Western Samoa and Europe.
Prom Apia, the “Suva” will go to Suva and Rabaul, and may call at other Is lands ports, if required. From New Guinea, she will proceed direct to Cape town, and thence back to London. It is not intended that on this, her maiden voyage, she shall call at Australian ports.
That schedule—London, Panama, Pacific ports, Capetown, and back to London—
wm be followed regularly, three times per annum, by the “S.S. Suva”, in future. The Apia call will be made regularly if justified by results
