Last Friday the famous Cunard White Star liner " Berengaria. " was delayed for three quarters of an hour. It was only by the excellent work performed by road transport that the delay was not considerably longer.
The trouble was that the supply of 1,000 gallons of milk turned sour, every churn being affected. The dairy men were at once requested to make up the deficiency and were given only four bows,
Eventually Dorset farmers came to the rescue, the required quantity of milk being sent some 50 miles by road. By the time it arrived the hatches had been closed, so the churns were carried up the first-class gangway.
This is one more instance where road transport has proved its exclusive Utility.
