Record passage from China to London

In 1874–1875, Hallowe’en sailed from Shanghai China, to London with a cargo of tea in 91 days, a record time, arriving 20 January 1875. She was fast in light airs and recorded many fast passages between China and the United Kingdom.

In 1887, Hallowe’en was on passage from Fuzhou, China, loaded with tea when she was wrecked in the English Channel at Soar Mill Cove off Salcombe, South Devon, England.[1]

gollark: I'll try and explain it better then- the quotas at random.org are *presumably* limiting your access to random bits based on your IP - that is, the IP it gets the requests from, not one you specify, that would be silly.- when using your proxy, the requests are coming from the proxy's IP- thus, you should get the quotas from the *same IP* you're contacting random.org from- in the case of your `curl` thing it works, as you're requesting the quota for the same IP you send requests from- this will not be the case if you attempt to fetch the quota for your computer's real IP when it's accessing random.org through the proxy
gollark: **gollark** is typing...
gollark: *But* that's *invalid* if you're going to use the proxy to contact random.org itself.
gollark: No, if he's sending the random.org request from `curl` and then using the IP of the device `curl`ing for the quota, it'll work.
gollark: You're entirely missing the point.
