The steamers will thus be due at Fishguard on Monday morning.
A Cold Buffet Supper will be served to Passengers between 9 p.m. and midnight on Tuesdays.
All other New York steamers will call at both Queenstown and Fishguard, the “Campania“ leaving New York at 1 a.m. Wednesday, and “Carmania" and “Caronia’’ at 10:00 am. on sailing day.
Steamers from Boston call at Queenstown all the year round and also at Fishguard during May, June and July.
The Great Western Railway provide special trains from Fishguard for London (Paddington), the railway journey occupying about 4 ¾ hours. Special trains will also be provided for the Channel Ports when sufficient inducement offers.
Fishguard is the nearest British port to New York and Boston, and this route is therefore the most direct to London.

In the event, however, of their remaining on board, they will be landed after breakfast the following morning, either at the stage or in dock as circumstances may make desirable.
When the vessel reaches the river but does not come alongside the Stage, to prevent inconvenience and to most emergencies, any passengers desirous of disembarking will, on arrival of the steamer, be landed, with hand baggage only, by tender, provided that the Purser is advised before leaving Queenstown or Fishguard of the passenger’s wish to do so. Notice will be placed in the Companionway on arrival at Queenstown or Fishguard advising passengers of anticipated arrival at Liverpool, and arrangements for landing.
