March 1877: Coal to Hong Kong by Messrs. Blond and Company!

Courier...March 1877
 
COAL FOR HONGKONG
 
" The Monkchester, barque, 654 tons, was chartered on February 28 (1877), by Messrs. Blond and Coy.,through the agency of Messrs. George Harris and Co., to convey a full cargo of coal from Perseverance mine to HongKong. This is we believe, the first charter for a full cargo of coal yet arranged from this port direct, and will be the third shortly leaving for Hongkong of the produce of our local collieries."
