The plate proved to be of unusual excellence, and
will receive a high classification. Messrs. J. Ellis
and J. C. Bayley were present as representing the
firm of Sir John Brown and Company.
The unarmoured twin-screw composite-built gun
vessel Beacon, 2 guns, 120-horse power, 465 tons,
Commander E. T. Parsons, recently fitted at the
eastward for service on the West Coast of Africa,
was put through her final trial of speed yesterday
over the standard measured mile in Stokes Bay, off
Portsmouth, prior to her departure from England
for her station.-. Capt. W. Chamberlain, command-
ing her Majesty's ship Asia and the Steam Reserve
at Portsmouth, conducted the trial, having on his
staff Messrs. W. G. Wratten, chief engineer of the
Steam Reserve, and Mr. Stail, of the Factory De-
partment. Six runs were made (the engines work-
ing at high pressure), which gave their respective
speeds in knots :-9.302, 9.890, 9.399, 9.890,
9.302, and 9-785. These figures gave the ship a
mean speed on the mile of 9 491 knots per hour.
The machinery of the vessel consists of two sets of
60-horse power engines, manufactured by John
Penn and Son, formerly belonging to gunboats
that are now broken up, and converted now from
two distinct sets for service in one twin-screw
vessel. This conversion of the machinery of two
of the old class of single-screw vessels for service in
one of the new class of twin-screw vessels is being
followed with all the composite-built vessels of the
Beacon class. The Beacon's engines drive a pair
of twin Griffiths' screws, each of which has a
diameter of 6ft., a pitch of 6ft. 10in., and a length
of 18in. The Beacon at the commencement of her
trial drew 7ft. llin. of water aft and 61t. forward.
