Campania has broken the ocean record again
and now holds the palm Cor the best eastward
passage. the best westward passage. the best
single days run and the highest average speed
ever made across the Atlantic Ever since the
Lucana started on her career In september
hardly a week has passed without reduction
Of the passage of the Atlantic being chroncled
Within less than n month the record has been
reduced by two hours and thirteen minutes,
about half Of 1t by slow degrees, and the other
half at one jump.
The record of the Paris. made a year ago.
was days. IA hours and "a minutes. This stood
until October g. when Lucana arrived at New
York in ) days. IL hours and A. minutes.
week later she reached Queenstown in 5:13:30
The next night Campania arrived here In 5:l3:23.
and she has now returned to Queenstown in the
phenomenal time OF 5I210. one hour and twenty
minutes less than the best eastward record
and one hour and thirteen minutes less than the
best passage to the west.
What is more. this makes the eastward pas
sage "A great deal shorter than the westward
n thing never accomplished but once before.
and then only by seven minutes. and held for
record days II hours 10 minutes.
Campania passed the Sandy Hook Lightship
on her outward voyage at a. m. last Saturday
morning. she reached Daunts Rcck. off Queens
town, at 14o a. m. this morning. Allowing 4
hours and % minutes for the difference of time
on opposite sides If the Atlantic. this makes her
record days 10 hours 30 minutes
At present. therefore Campania is the unques-
toned queen but Lucania is rushing across the
seas. and when she gets here tonight there may
be another tale to tell.

on THE HIGH SEAS.
San Francisco Nov. . (SpeciaD.-The rela-
tives and friends Of Count and Countess Festi-
tics are much worried over rumors that the
Count and Countess are in danger on the high
seas from the first mate Of their new yacht the
ToIna This mate boasted just before he left
here for a South Sea cruise on the Tona that
in a few days he would own the yacht and
everything aboard her II will be remembered
that Count Festtics. a handsome Austrian noble
man, married several years ago daughter OF
the millionaire J. b. Haggin. The Count was
enamored of the sea. and the stories that the
novelist Stevenson wrote OF his cruise among
the South Sea Islands fired the Counts imagina-
ton. He had yacht built last spring, ana
loaded with goods for trading with the South
Sea natives The Count took along his wife
with several servants, and the yacht was pro-
visoned for a years cruise She left here
about fortnight ago, and Is now due al
Honolulu.
A few days ago 1t leaked out that the mate,
who was engaged by the Count and who Is a
capable seaman. had bOasted here TO MS inti-
mates that he proposed to seize the yacht and
go on a piratical cruise. He declared his scheme
was easy. as he had been Permitted to select the
crew. and they were kindred spirits eager for
adventures He said the COuntess's jeweiry
and the yachts stores would bring in a hand
some sum, and II he failed to get guns for pri-
Watering he could sell the yacht. Those who
know the mate assert that he is a desperate
man who wouldn't hesitate to carry out his
scheme. If the yacht touches at Honolulu the
Count will be warned. as letters have been for
warded giving the gist of the mates plans IL
she doesn't touch at Honolulu IL will be pretty
good evidence that the mate has seized the
