VIII Get Quicker Dispatch.
| II is believed that on this trip there
| VIII be no such veXatious delays as the
| Transit met with on her first voyage At
| San Jose. for instance she waited fourteen
/ days without a chance 10 unload but Mr.
/ Chilberg managed 10 interest the presi-
| dent Of Guatemala in the enterprise and
| ne at once gave an order for the vessel
| to be permitted 10 unload Immediately
| In addition 10 this, the Transit carries
| mail from this port. which will give her
| prestige at this port and materially as
! siSt her in clearing with dispatch Can't
| ThorsteuStein if Of the opinion that this
] trip VIII be as great a success on the
! score OF time saved as it will undoubtedly
| prove 20 be from the point Of view OF the
| merchants who are shipping cargo. The
| first port VIII be reached in about four
| teen days With the heavy cargo she car
| RES, and allowing for the heavy weather
| she viii probably meet with before pass
| ing San Francisco.
