fifth mark her speed did not vary a
hundredth part of a knot. The fourth.
third and second legs Of the course were
all made in exactly the same time-22
minues and AZ seconds-so that when
the second mark boat was passed the
ship was only six nautical miles from
the finish and glory, and the reckoners
had figured that, barring accidents, she
would make something over seventeen
knots. But there before the ship was
the handicap Of the course, the shallow
water, a fact which had already held
back her sister ships, cutting down their
premiums in more than one instance
Knowing this, every effort was made
to get every pound of steam on, and
every inch of power. The seconds ticked
off steadily as she hurled herself on, the
mark boat and finish in sight, but still
miles away.
The margin over the twelve knots be-
came smaller. and as the ship rushed on
it became a serious question whether she
would get to the line in time. Fifty
thousand dollars depended on the speed
of the last fifty feet; q delay Of one Sec
ond might cut 1t off. The Iowa Just did
it. and that was all. In fact so narrow
was the margin that the reckOners had
to carry out their figures to the fourth
decimal point in order to make the speed
for the whole course average seventeen
knots an hour. 1t came out all right in
the end, however. and with a broom on
her fighting top the queen Of the Ameri-
can navy, after two or three half circles
to show just what she could do in quick
manoeuvering. slackened speed and
headed for Boston.
Throughout the trial the boat behaved
admirably. The heavy turrets placed
well above the water line gave her a
much greater roll than the Indiana or
the Massachusetts. but except for this
she was much steadier than the other
battleships. The tidal corrections will
net cut the seventeen knots. but will
probably increase it to some slight ex.

did not hamper the work of the big
blowers.
Crew Was In Dead Earnest.
The trial board came down from the
city about 8 o'clock and with them some
200 guests Of the builders, as we'll as
many naval officers stationed in and
about Boston. The ship got under way
almost Immediately. heading straight for
the twin lights of Cape Ann. and after
run of over an hour the first mark
boat was sighted with the black buoy
heating, denotirg the thirty-three knot
course. Like racehorse not quite pre-
pared for her great effort the Iowa
scored twice. running up to within a
mile of the line and then shying off out
to sea, in order to bottle up a little more
steam and develop few hundred more
horsepower. At the very outset of the
trial 1t was evident that every one Of
the picked crew was In dead earnest.

ter hand. hidden from sight, was direct
ing the ponderous machinery. There
was not the slightest deviation in the
course as the ship rushed by the second
mark boat. making the leg at 1880 knots
an hour. which was very satisfactory.
In the next leg Of the course the ship
began to show what was in her, for she
topped the seventeen knots an hour rec
ord by averaging a tenth over. This
was still further increased on the next
leg to 11.41. but On the fourth there was
falling off. which was decided in the
last, the speed running down to 1855 1t
was proven, however. that the last leg
OF the course was somewhat long.
Keeps Up n Very Steady Gait.
While the ship was preparing for the
run back the ready reckoners on board
figured that on the run down to Boon
island the Iowa had averaged exactly
1857 knots per hour. The time was so
well up to the builders expectations
that in order to consume the allotted four
hours the ship was spun around twice
before sterling back. For thirty min
utes and forty-five seconds she kept up
her jockeying and then dashed for the
line again. passing the last mark boat
at 12:39:25. On this leg there was an
average Of 1912 knots an hour. a graft
flying increase over the last time in this
leg.
