There is little doubt that the American
ship is much better built than the foreign
vessel. This may be rightly attributed to
the fact that the United States government
is very rigid in its requirements. All con
tracts must be lived up to, and that the
builder may be encouraged in his work pre-
miums are paid where the official test de
velops greater horsepower and more speed
or where the requirements of the contract
have been more than met. The govern
ment will not accept vessel not up to the
specifications. Builders know this and are
accordingly prepared for it.
As an illustration in point take the case
of the Vesuvius. The contract called foi
$500 horsepower, and she would have to de
velop speed of 90 knots. In the official
trial this vessel actually developed LAC
horsepower and attained aspeed of 81 64-10t
knots from measured 4-nile course, Of
course as a result earning for her builder 0
large premium. The case of the Blake
English built, whose contract called fol
10000 horsepower, lilly compares with this
showing. The best efforts of her engineers
and builders could only bring out little
over 10000, and under this tremendous
strain her boilers went to pieces. The same
statement is true, although iu worse de
gree, of the failure Of her sister ship, tn,
Northumberland A. G. Feather in Blu,
