lon Friday last, and the average speed of four runs,
two du wn and twa up, was 7.G knots pEr Lou:. The
i 1 vessel NVIS brought up et Grenhithe, and the iron
, I screw tck.'n up and the bias.; screw turned by machi-
nery at the deck yard substituted. On the trial of the
brass screw on Saturday the averrge speed of six runs
at the measured mile, three down and three up, was
8.1 knots per hour, a greater speed by about half a
knot than was obtained by the iron screw. It was tha

greater speed would have been attained with the brass
screw had it not blown so very hard during the trial.
