 The engines, which are already prac- tically completed in the machinery de- partment of the great concern, are of the Harland & Wolff quadruple expan- sion type; the cylinders are 33, 47 1-2, 63 1-2 and 98 inches in diameter by five feet three inches stroke. Steam at pressure of 210 pounds will be supplied by eight double-ended boilers, each fifteen feet six inches by nineteen feet
 six inches. Great speed is not aimed
 at, but one may be sure that in efficien- cy the high reputation of the Queens
 Island engine department will be main-
 tained. From what one is able to judge
 at present, the notable quality of the
 work will be it's finish. It is unneces-
 sary to do more than merely mention
 the auxiliary machinery. Everything
 that experience has taught the owners
 and the builders is necessary to a ship

 in respect of accommodation, for she is
 built to fill the gap left by. the tendency
 of the greyhounds to develop beyond
 the purse of the average traveller. She
 is the logical result of a close study of the economical facts of the situation,
 and with more than moderate speed,
 comfortable quarters at cheaper rates, and certain mobility of her internal arrangement, she is likely to be suc- cessful. In her f1rst-class accommoda- tion there are single berthed rooms for gentlemen, and, if your correspondent is not mistaken, the open berths in the third class may be removed in favor of cargo should it offer.
 But, although the passenger rates will be lower, the standard of the accommo- dation will still bes very high. About 347 saloon passengers will be accommo- dated, their state-rooms being on the Upper, the Bridge, the Upper Bridge and the Boat decks. The dining saloon which is on the upper deck forward, is the full width of the ship. and with the library and the smoke-room makes an exceptionally handsome suite.
 Provision is made on the upper and bridge decks for 160 second-class pas The dining saloon for this class is aft on the upper deck; it is fin- ished in white and gold and, while not so wide as the other saloon on the same deck, is roomy and well lighted. A great number of passengers will be &C.,
