THE NEW STEAMSHIP GREECE.
Another Splendid Addition to the Fleet
OF National Steamers.

OF National Steamers
The new steamer Greece, constructed for the
National Steamship Company made her first trip
from Liverpool to this port and arrived safely,
after passage Of twelve days and few hours.
She affords all the comforts and conveniences
enjoyed on the other floating palaces Of this line,
which have already been described in the HERALD.
The Greece is an iron vessel 4o5 feet in length;
breadth of beam, Al feet; depth OF mold, SO feet.
She has four decks, two Of which are iron. The
saloon extends entirely across and accommodates
100 passengers. There are apartments for 1900
steerage passengers between decks. The cylinders
OF her engines are inverted, and the piston rods
act directly on the shaft. The screw is twenty feet
The steam is generated in two double
boilers heated by twelve furnaces. The
nominal horse power is 400, but under the allowed
pressure OF sixty pounds per square inch the en-
gines can be worked to 1000 horse power. The
compound cylinders are respectively eighty-nve
and fifty inches In diameter, and give stroke of
four feet The machinery was constructed BY the
Laird Brothers. Like her sister ships, the Greece
rolls comparatively little In severe weather. and IL
During her passage out she encountered terrific
hurricane, which lasted twelve hours yet she lost
not even life boat The charge OF this vessel has
been entrusted to Captain q. H. Andrews reputed
as very able commander. She 10 officered by
Messrs. T. 3. Spencer, II. Herbert. r. Kinning and
Mr. Ross. DR.. Kennedy Is surgeon, Mr.. Rel purser
and Mr.. William Ham chief engineer. II may,
therefore n be safely said that the managers Of the
National Steamship Company have spared no ex-
pense In making the Greece frst.class vessel.
The public will certainly derive benefit rom such
rivalry between our steamship companies.
