1879 (10 Apr) "Round the Word" German 10pf PSC, sending from Dobeln
and return to Dobeln via Japan and other countries. In combination
with Norwegian 20 ore, tied by Vaalerisma (19 Apr) cds. Further
Transit Christiania (21 Apr), Singapore-to-Hong Kong marine sorter
(25 May), Hiogo BPO (12 May; obviosuly wrongly inserted date),
Hiogo Japanese PO (24 Jun), Yokohama (29 Jun), San Francisco (17
Jul). Finally arrived Dobeln (10 Apr). T mark and "Post Cards to
This Address / Cannot be Forwarded" applied in USA. With BPA
certificate. Given the low volume of mails, existing exampels of
Hiogo BPO are very scarce as Webb only recorded one cover front
with Hiogo BPO and D30 obliterator. As this PO was closed after
1879, it is probably a last year usage.

兵庫(神戶)英國客郵局郵務較少,故存世例子甚罕,Webb記錄中僅見一件同時蓋有兵庫英局圓戳及D30殺手戳之封面。此郵局於1879年後關閉,此片可能為最晚一年郵例。
