_The Evening Post_, 29 March 1924:
HARBOUR FERRIES
In view of the approach of the winter months the Eastbourne Ferry Board has decided to withdraw the #Muritai from the harbour service next week, and the time-table will be maintained by the #Duchess and #Cobar. The Muritai will resume during the Easter holidays should the weather warrant.
The service to Seatoun and Karaka Bay will be discontinued as from Tuesday next. Negotiations are still in progress between the Ferry Board and the Seatoun and Bays Progressive Association for a resumption of the service in the early spring.
