A project that even in rum0r fairly
took the breath away has inst been
given official PRONUNCIATION. This IS
no less than an ocean express line.
In other words line OF steamships
which shall be to ocean travel what the
fast mail is to railway journeyins.
The plan in brief is to build three steel
steamships, five hundred feet long,
divided into fifty wa,er-tight comp ri
ments, furnish them ike n modern!
hotel OF the most sumptuous sort
carry no freight, make staterooms as
largo ~ ordinary hotel rooms, charge
about fifty dollars more in tho trip
than the present rates, and for this
take the passenger from New York
Monday morning, set him on English
soil Saturday night, wind. tide and
what not to the contrary. This sounds
like the journey that Alsddin's palace
took from Bagdad to HyrcaniA. Bat
il is set forth with business like breyity
by one OF the main projectors of the
line, Jacob Lori.larl. who has millions
enough of his own to set the scheme
matching.
