Burma1ster & Vain, of Copenhagen,
have again completed a steamer for
the Russian government. This time it
is an ice boat, or ice breaker, as it is
called in Scandinavia. The result of
the test trip was exceedingly fiattering

its way through 30-inch sheet of solid
ice without the least trouble, making
about four English miles an hour. It
was also proven that the steamer could
force its way through mass of ice
piled up by the wind to the depth of 81
feet. The steamers name is Made
shiny, and it will be taken by way of
Suez to Vladivostok, on the Pacific
cost, where it will be used as an ice
boat, and possibly as warship.
