In the previous year the tonnage entered inwards amounted to 1,48,096!
tons, and outwards to l,42,647f tons.
During the past year, the whole of the Steamers and Flats have been
T , , . .• constantly employed conveying
Inland Navigation. j r j ^ o
Troops, Government Stores, and
Treasure, between Kurrachee and Mooltan, and other points, and other practi
cable private merchandize.
Prior to the month of June last the exigencies of the Government service
had interfered with the regular maintenance of the bi-monthly communication
between Kurrachee and ivlooltan. Subsequent to that date two vessels were set
apart to carry it on. That number being found insufficient, a third was added,
and a moderate punctuality in the despatch of the vessels, from the ultimate
points, on the dates fixed, was obtained.
The money value of the tonnage supplied for Troops and Government
Passengers, as compared with 1859-60, has increased by Rs. 3,090-3-10, and
in the case of Government Stores by Rs. 3,123-7-6.
