Last year, 672,688 passengers, the greatest number ever, was earried by CN’s ferries: The ltotal number of vehicles during February was up 23 per cent | over February, 1965, continuing a trend began in January. Last month, the ferries Abegweit and Prince Edward Island carried 19,073 passengers to and from the Island as well as 9,513 ve- hicles, said .J.G. Davis,’ man- | ager of CN’s Maritime area.
