moorings in Sheerness harbour on Wednesday, in
charge of Captain T. P. Thompeon, of the Steam

measured mile off Maplin Sands. The machi-
nery was in charge of Mr. Wooton, chief engi-
neer of the ship, and Mr. W. Rumble, inspector of
machinery afloat. Mr. G. Blaxland, chief engi-
neer of her Majesty's dockyard at Sheerness, super-
intended the working ; Mr. John Dinnin, inspector
of machinery from the Admiralty, also attended
on the part of the Government. The trial was uut.
quite successful, owing to excessive priming, and

pletely successful trial was made, with the following
results ;—True mean speed at full boiler power,
10.448 knots per hour ; revolutions—maximum 67,
mean 55 to 56 per minute ; pressure of steam, 20 ;

fore 19ft. 9in., aft 21ft. llin. ; temperature—main
deck, 56 deg. ; engine-room, 68 deg. ; stokehole,
maximum, 110 deg., minimum 74 deg. The vessel
is fitted with Griffith's screw, pitch 24ft., length 3ft.,
