The Teutonic of the White Star
line has had another remarkable
run across the Atlantic westward.
town and New York is 5 days 81
hours and 8 minutes. But in
steaming westward the clock
stands still five hours, and in 60
! ing eastward it marches ahead five
| hours, a difference which explains
why the eastern and western voy-
ages always vary few hours in
time. Such runs as 494, 495, 494
and 400 miles per day show that
the modern steamer is quite as re-
liable as the locomotive in trav-
ersing distances. All this i'm
provement, too, has been achieved
within a very short period.
