The vessel left Alton Bay at 7:45 a.m. six days of the week and followed a 67 mile route around the shore and islands of Winnipesaukee including stops at several summer camps. The U.S. Mailboat Tonimar arrived at Wolfeboro, stopped briefly, and left that port around 9:30 to continue along the shores and islands as far as Melvin Village. The second mail was picked up at Melvin Village and delivered on the return route to Alton Bay.
