he was appointed chairman OF one. 10 which werr

washington MAY 23-The official report OF the
,nsnection at sea Of the cruiser Columbia shows
that she Is ncomparaby the most econoH'a'
naval vessel in the world. No test was made
~ her highest attainable speed under forced
draught. but It was clearly demonstrated 70 the
satisfaction - Commodore Selfridge's board that
sbo has improved conslderab bly, since she ran
within n fraction Of twcnty-three knots over the
measured course off Cape Ann last NoveinOer'
The present inspection was intended wholly %
discover the efficiency Of the ship under condi-
tlons Of practical service.
Four trials Of six hours each were conducted
In the first with three engines she ran at the
rate Of 1914 knots with a coal consumption OF
1856 tons a day Two machinists and six men
then disconnected the twin wing screws IN iorty
minutes and then followed a siX-hours run,
using only the single central screw, developing
a epced OF 1905 knots and consuming coal az the
rats ~ % o. tons a dav The third trial was
with all three engines. during which the remark
able speed OF 1874 knots was maintained Ior SIX
hours the coal consumption rising 20 223 tons
daily Then one machin'st and three men DIS
connected the central screw. and on the TWO re-
naming engines, with l02 tons daily Goa, con-
sumption. speed Of 1886 knots was recorded
Inc great e1lclen'N 81 me sup - "Pf,
when II Is remembered that the coal bunker
capacity OF the ship is 2.i5O tons. which, with
the central screw for ordinary cruising pur-
poses gives the vessel a steamng radius or
nearly 1900 miles. unequalled by any vessel
alOat.
The average displacement of the Columbia
during this Inspection s40D tons. which Is
, lust 1910 tons greater than II was when sne
made her acceptance trial trip and her record OF
22S knots under forced draught. When the fact
is taken into consideration that the Columbia
has been in commission only n month; that ner
crew are unaccustOmed 70 her. and that this Is
tn. first actual sea service she has had. her
performance is amazing even 10 her most SAN
