1872 (1 April) an unusual Hiogo mail to Bordeaux, France, franked with French Ceres 3 x 5 ctms, cancelled by “YOKOHAMA BAU FRANCAISE FR. / 8 AVIRL 72”, boxed frame “AFFRANCHISEMENT / INSUFFICIANT” in black, manuscript rate marke “1f – 3s” (i.e. 1f 30 ctms), a red double ringed transit c.d.s “PAQ. ANG. V BRINDISI / A MOD(ANE)”. On the reverse side, a slew of French transit c.d.s. This mail went through a highly unusual routing combination of PMSSCo and P&O vessels. The mail started with Hiogo where it rides on New York /PMSSCo steamer to Yokohama, and then picked up by P&O packet services from Yokohama all the way to Brindisi. The use of 15 ctms was only paid enough for the internal rate charge between Hiogo to Yokohama, and the postage due “1f3S” represents the 10 grams postage charge by the GB packet service from Yokohama to France effective 1871. Certification: Philatelic Federation of Japan Certificate.1872.4.1 兵庫寄法國，貼五穀女神像5生丁x3，銷橫濱法局日戳及欠資指示戳。此信先經PMSSCo船隻至橫濱，再由鐵行輪船公司自橫濱送至布林迪西。而15生丁僅足以兵庫至橫濱間郵資，故被罰欠資“1f/3S”。附日本證書。
