the great battleship Oregon from Puget

of the greatest achievements Of this coun-
try's fighting ships The ship travelled H.
i92 miles without a break or accident
showing that as fine vessels can be built
on the Pacific as on the Atlantic coast.
She steamed the 1000 miles from San Fran
cisco to Callao in sixteen days, without
once stopping her engines. No other bat
tleship has steamed so far continuously. \
few years ago British ironclad voyaged
from England to Cnina without a stop,
and 1t was heralded far and wide as an
extraordinary performance. That ship
steamed 10000 miles, 1iO0 less than the
