.,Isidering the fact that her engines are
,tiff and have not worked down their bear

Every birth aboard OF her has been engaged
for her first trip.
The Lucania, the sister .hip Of the Cam
pania, will be launched in about SIX weeks
and will begin her regular sailings some
fine in july. The trial spin OF the b'g
Cunarder indicates that she will break at
records when her machinery begins TO run

If she then averages % knots an hour over
the record course OF 2IS2 knots from queens
