Why ?'


Because of her lines. Look at
her nose-as sharp as a razor. She
wouldn't bruise the water, but cut
through it. Then look at her stern
it's almost as sharp rs her bow. Then
her straight model is perfect. All
this helps her speed, which can be in
creased easily without any enormous
expenditure of coal"
The Oregon, originally Guion
steamship, and at the present the
fastest vessel ahoat, having made her
trip in six days and ten hours, was
transferred to the Cunard line. One
Of the reasons for her sale was her
enormous consumption Of coal. On
even her fastest voyage she consumes
nearly twenty-five hundred tons OF
coal, the cost Of which for u round
trip would amount to about $4,000.
All the transatlantic races cost
heavily for coal. The cost for fuel
is largely increased by the fact that
all the steamship lines wink at racing
on the ocean. The captains of big
steamers put themselves on record as
to fast passages. The passengers take
part in the general enthusiasm of q
race. t.i-.., a

about hown much coal does the
America carry,on each voyage?" ask
ed New York Journalreporter.
"Well, ? replied the chief engineer,
"nearlY sixteen hundred and fifty tons,
but we load i'll about fourteen hun
dred tons, because we've generally got
.250 tons OH hand" So. rt
~ "What coal do you use ?"
u "When we load in Liverpool we
generally put in South Wales coal,
commonly called Nixon's navigation
coal On this side we take in the
Eureka bituminous coal"
"EIow much coal do you burn a
day?"
"About one hundred and ninety
tons, but the exact quantity depends,
of course, on the kind of coal. Some
coal burns away fast; but never
mind, we've got to pile it on fast or
the furnaces would get too low"
"How many furnaces has the Amer
lea ?" "a. .aa..
"Only thirty-nine. That don't seem
many compared with the Oregon's
seventy-two, does it? Our stokeholes
are in double rows, with nine on each
end except the. forward, which has
twelve. The coal is received from
barges at the side of the ship and
stored in three bunkers close to the
furnaces. The fore bunker holds $50
tons, the middle 745, and the aft 355.
The three bunkers contain 67,121 Gu
bic feet"
"On the voyage are you constantly
feeding the furnaces
eyes, they are fed in rotation every
thirty minutes. The stokers clean
out the fires and supply new fuel,
generally throwing in twelve or fifteen
shovtlfuls ut time. But the Ameri-
en-, in comparaison with other great
ships is a small burner Of coal, con-
sidering the speed she gets. Why,
the Oregon, who only made five hours
better time than the America, burns
about 800 tons day. We claim that
this ship will get great speed with
small power"
