knotts ; revolutions, 13 ; pressure, 12 ; vac., 28 ;
giving a mean speed of 10.470 knots per hour. Two
runs were afterwards taken at half-boiler power,
when with ten revolutions of the engines per minute
an average speed of 8.436 knots was attained.
From the reasons already given it would seem that
the Terrible did not attain such a high rate of speed
on the occasion of her trial yesterday as on her pre-
vious trial trip. In making circles, with the rudder
at an angle of 28 deg. and with 10 revolutions of
the engines, the full circle was made in 6min. 32sec.
At the close of the trials the Terrible returned into
harbour to await orders from the Admiralty. She
has upwards of 400 tons of coals on board and the
greater portion of her sea stores.
