THE KATAHDIN'S TRIAL.
Ammen Ram Puts In Twelve Hours on
Long Island Sound.

NEW LONDON, Conn, April s. = The
Ammen ram Katahdin returned at $3.50
o'clock last evening from her 12-hour trial
trip at sea. The machinery of the vessel
worked perfectly, and the members of the
trial board finished their days work well
satisfied that the builders had fulfilled
their contract as far as good workmanship
and material were concerned. The board
will recommend a few minor improve
ments, but these will not be due to any
fault of the builders.
The 12-hour run was ordered by the
naval department for the purpose of test
ing the hull, equipments, etc. Particular
attention was paid to the machinery, as
there was some doubt whether or not it
could stand the strain at first of a run of
~ consecutive hours. The machinery was
run at full speed for over an hour under
natural draught and stood the test to the
satisfaction of all.
The speed trial will be over a 36mle
course from Saybrook Point to the west
ward, and will probably be held Thurs
day The men on board will spend today
in making ready for the trial.
