PORT PARAGRAPH

She is the ENESA of Bilbao, and has the distinction of being the largest vessel that has ever brought a cargo of ore from the Mediterranean to Ardrossan.

RAILWAY COMPANIES AND ARRAN SERVICE
Mr. Calthrop, general manager of the Caledonian Railway, received a deputation yesterday, representing residents of Whiting Bay, Lamlash, and Brodick, which waited upon him with reference to the withdrawal of the company’s steamer from the Ardrossan and Arran service.
It was urged that the curtailment of the service would have a prejudicial effect in regard to house-letting, and a suggestion was made for an extra run on Friday afternoon direct to Whiting Bay from Ardrossan.
Mr. Calthrop stated that this suggestion would be considered. The companies, he said, intended to make a trial of the restricted service for a year.
