The Orient boats were about 150 COST OF TRAVEL 4000 tons, " Potosi, " " Garonne, " " Lusitania, " " John Elder " and " Sorata. " The P. And O. Steamers were all about 3000 to 4000 tons, and fares ranged round 60 single and 100 return. Not so long before that era the P. And O. Company did not charge for wines or liquors. The ...little P.
