gThe shortest passage yet made across the
Atlantic has been made by the new German
steamer Cimbria. She made the run Of S,49l

or eight days and sevenhours from Queenstown.
The Cimbria thus beat the Persia, once the
crack ship of the Cunard line, about two days.
The average speed of the Cimbria was326 miles.
