tonight from Hongkong. Because of the

beating the best previous time made upon
the journey from China to this country
by way Of the Suez Canal.
Captain McCariia would not admit to-
night that he had any such project IN
mind. With a smile however. he re-
marked that it had happened that he had,
by good fortune. managed to make
record run home. The Newark took
fcrtysiX days to come from Hongkocg
to Sandy Hook. The quickest time in
the journey which had previously been
made was by the New Orleans, which
took fifty-one uays. The only stops
made by the Newark were for coaling.
At no port did she stay a full day. She
fingered only sufficiently long to fiji her
bunkers and away she went again.
But it was apparent tonight from Cap
tain NcCalla's manner that a. feat which
pleased him even more than his record
trip was the winning OF a race around
half the world with his wife. M's Nc
