Short as was the passage Of the Atlantic, it would
have been much shorter but for the unfortunate luck
which she met with. From the time when she left
Liverpool, n
miles Of New York, she had TO contend with
head winds, which at times blew SO strongly as to
ontitls them to be- saedgaes. In the faseof those
rscs she made at the OF eleven and eleven ana
half knots per hour thus proving satisfactorily what
she is capable doing and that she Is the fastest
steamship afoat, except, perhaps, the Paeias During
those gales too she perfectly dry, having shipped

she made quicker time than made by
any steamship, and almsst a quick as that Of our
crack North River boats. But whether the weather
was stormy or calm, the rough smooth or ths
wnd ahead not, II made difference far rs tho
comfort Of the passengers concerned. 1t was not

in other steamships, the most noisy part.
The superior Accommodations Of the Atlantic were
duly appreciated by tho passengers during the very
and unpleasant weather which abe experienced
during more than two-thlrds Of the distance. The
married gentlemen and ladies amused themselves as
they pleased In the spacious drawing room, and the
bachelors patronix.s either the forward saloon where
they played the scientific of bTa poker for
