she reached a speed OF posi- knots. Her
main speed over the four measured
miles. under forced draught, was 20.50
Her contract speed was 20 knots. But
the Albany is easily capable OF an ad-

Lieutenant Commander Colwell said
10 the representative OF the Associated
Press on board:
II am delighted with the ship. She is
one Of the fastest cruisers and comes
