A MODERN OCEAN RACER

This was considered great feat and the
newspapers proclaimed with joy that half the
width Of the ocean had been wiped out. But
only two years after that the trip was made in
sixteen days by Cunard steamer. From there
started the record breaking. The Columbia in
1S43 sailed from Halifax to Liverpool in nine
days and twenty hours. In 1851 the steamer
Pacific crossed the Atlantic in nine days, nine
teen hours and twenty-five minutes. About this
time the substitution of steel for iron lightened
ship construction, and greater speed and size
began to develop more rapidly. The
first greyhound of the ocean appeared
IN 1879. 1t was the Arizona, which made 2O11
miles an hour. From then until now the rec
ord smashing las been terrific. In 1882 the
ALASKA made the transatlantic voyage in seven
days. The Oregon in 1884 sped at the rate OF
y miles an hour. The Umbria quickly made
an hour and a half better and then the City
Of Rome crossed the Atlantic In six days
twenty-five hours and twenty-five minutns
The Etruria then steamed from Mersey to New
York in six days and nineteen hours and soon
after that in six days and five hours. The Um-
bria then came back at the other record smash
ers with a voyage from Queenstown to New
York in five days and twenty-five hours. All
the fast time has not been made on the Allan
tic. Some great speed has been made by the
steamers of the Peninsular and Oriental steam
navigation company plying between Liverpool
and India

have done this, though do not know that that
fact has ever before been made public"
The photograph of the engine and the twin
screws made by Stevens, together with his
description of the propeller in letter to Rob-
ert Hare Of Philadelphia, in November, 1906
and the duplicate Of the wheel, are interesting
evidences Of the ancestry of the twin screws
that now race the ocean. 1t is a curious thing
that the very latest aud the very earliest con-
triyance of propeller should be so nearly the
same thing. The Stevens propeller has the
two screw wheels, one on each side of the boat
forward of the rudder. as the City of Paris has
today. In the principle was all the speed of
this great racer, waiting only for the power to
be sufficiently applied. But it was reserved
for Ericsson to make the propeller a CONNER
cial success, more than thirty years later
