Superheated Steamers as Charsa-bancs.
A. H. CREET EL AND SONS, NatleStOne. —The fleet which is operated by these owners is of special interest, as it consists of four modified Darracq-Serpollet steamers. The first machine was bought in 1908, the second in 1909, and the last one in the spring of the present year. The receipts, so we are informed, have been quite up to expectations, but it has to be remembered that there is the effect
bad roads and steep gradients to be considered. Two journeys of seven miles return are run daily to the station during t'te winter.
