which was expected here yesterday for her
speed trial, arrived to-day. She reached
the mouth of the harbor late last night,

and despite tho bad weather and heavy
seas encountered on the entire "trip, had
acted magnficently.
Owing to the unfavorable weather tho
boat did not attempt to mako more than
half speed on the trip. Apart from clean.
ing the engines, Mr.. Post said, tho trial
could be made at once.

Shipbuilding Company, builders Of the
