that led, doubtless, to the enthusiasm that
greeted the vessel whenever and wherever
she appeared.
The Northwest's dimensions are: Length,
5S6 feet; breadth, A feet; depth, 341a feet;
draught, 151s feet. The Ship however is
most notable from the fact that she is
the first large craft to try the quadruple
expansion of steam system anywhere.
Moreover, she has water tube boilers on a
large scale and her experiences are not
only being watched by marine engineers
everywhere, but our navy department has
been making a study of her engine per-
formances, in addition to considering the
possibilities of using her as a naval craft
IN case of war. The ship has been painted
white, and, with her three imposing smoke
pipes, makes a picture as impressive in it's
way as one of the white squadron. Not
only does the speed of this ship make her
valuable as naval auxiliary, but her plan
or construction is such that she could be
transformed to a cruiser with ease. She
has long deck forward that would admit
OF the mounting of two of more four-inch
guns, or even two siX-inch guns There is
room there also for rapid firing guns or q
dynamite gun, if such weapon would be
thought desirable in place of the rif1ed

there is also sufficient room for four-inch
guns or several rapid fire guns In the

pied by passengers for games. This space
would afford splendid opportunity for the
mounting of the numerous small guns that
complete the outfit of a man-of-War.In the
hold, near the waters edge, there are half
a dozen openings for the reception of
freight that could be utilized for weapons.
This ship is also equipped with a search
light that did duty at the Worlds Fair,
and there proved its usefulness. She has
