To j. II. Spar:
The Atlantic deviation to Halifax ia
the quantity OF coal
on board was 967 tons against the av
erage consum ption, during the eighteen
voyages, OF 744 tons Signed
IsNAY, EMERY Il Co.
This dispatch does away with the
theory that the Atlantic was short OF
coal. TIE passenger agent says it she
did run short OF iuel it might have been
owing to the strong head winds, neces-
stating heavy steam pressure to make
speed.
