Departures for the "North" originated from Rio de Janeiro, with packet boats leaving on the "12th, 22nd, and 28th of each month" and calling ("tocavam") at Cabedelo only "on their return south on the 2nd, 8th, 14th, and 22nd of each month, approximately". The packet boats that followed this route (Linha do Norte) were: "Brazil, S. Salvador, Olinda, Manáos, Maranhão, Alagôas, Espirito Santo, Pernambuco, and Planeta". In the price table, Lloyd Brazileiro steamers were of two types: "Ré" (Stern) and "Convez" (Deck). The ports in the price table were organized into South and North. "Round-trip tickets have a 15% discount. Tickets purchased by the Government have a 25% discount. (...) "In steerage, children under 2 years old do not pay passage; those from 2 to under 3 years old pay 1/4, and those from 3 to under 10 years old pay 1/2 passage. In the bow, children under 2 years old do not pay passage; from that age onwards, they pay full passage. Tickets purchased on board cost 15% more." Passengers who do not continue their journey lose half of their fare, while those who stay "at any port of call are not entitled to any refund." It is not possible to transfer tickets, either to another person or another packet boat. The baggage allowance for each passenger was "300 cubic decimeters" (300 liters), "for those in steerage, and 150, for those in the bow." Excess baggage was paid for as "encommenda" (parcel).
