The Indiana left the Cramps yards
at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning and an.
chored off the Delaware breakwnter for
the night At 55 a IN. on Wednes-
day the anchor was taken aboard and
the shid headed out to sea. The day
was perfect one for q sea trial.
The course over which her trial runs
were made was off Cape May, and was
between the southwest lightship, at the
five fathom bank, to the northeast
light ship, 065 nautical lines up the
coast. The ship was put over this
course six times-three times in each
direction. The turns We're made at
full speed and the trip was practically
under five hours continuous steaming
at high speed.
The averages were 14.02 and "A 12
knots respectively. A Moderate force
draft of half an inch air pressure was
used for the next runs and an average
OF 10 knots was maintained over this
course. This is the speed called for in
the contract with the government. The
last two runs were made under forced
draft of one inch air pressure.
TRIP WAS SATISFACTORY.
The great mass of steel and iron
ploughed through the water, but only
a slight vibration from engines or
screws could be felt. The ship made
Is knots on these last two runs. At
o'clock this morning she started on her
return trip to this city. Coming up
the bay and river an average of Il
knots WAS made, with a favorable tide

The performance Of the Indiana on
this preliminary run was very satisfac.
tory when the condition of the ship is
considered. Her side armor, turrets,
coming tower and guns have not been
placed on her yet, and she consequently
draws three feet less water than she
will on her official trial. This will
sink her screws deeper and is expected
to increase her speed. Ordinary soft
coal was used on this trip, while care
fully selected coal will be employed
when the official trial takes place.
Taking all things into consideration
it is predicted that the ship will make
at least sixteen knots and possibly a
quarter or p half knot more. A prem
ium OF S25, 900 per quarter knot will be
earned by the builders for anything
above fifteen knots, and from 800, 600
to $3.50 600 will probably be paid by
the government in addition to the SO, =
02O, 600 named in the contract.
