A MARVEL Of
SPEED AND POWER
The Great Battleship Missouri Far
Surpasses Expectations.
TRIAL A COMPLETE SUCCESS
The Remarkable Run Made by the
ship Saved Her Builders a Large
Amcunt-HiGhly Pleased at
Successful speed Trial.

Washington, Oct 27-Information
from Newport News is to the effect
that the first-class battleship Missouri
is back once more to the yards of the
Newport Shipbuilding & Dry Dock CO.,
after her successful speed trial. The
remarkable run of the Missouri on the
last leg of the course is believed TO
have saved her builders the 1000
they would have lost in the event the
ship had failed to make the required
speed of is knots.
President Orcutt and Supt. Post, Of
the shipbuilding concern, were very
much worried during the trial, and
until the ship began the last run they
believed they were beaten When the
exact figures are made known the sum
of about 500 will change hands at
the shipyard offices A number of the
draughtsman formed pool, and the
man guessing the nearest 10 the Mis-
souri's exact time will take the money.
General Superintendent Post, of the
shipbuilding company, said of the trial:
THE Missouri's performance was
highly gratifying to Mr. Orcutt and
myself and the ship fully came up to
our expectations of her After tidal al
lowances are made we believe her
speed will be much greater than is
shown. The contract speed Of the Mis-
souri, is IS knots, and had the ship
failed TO attain this speed we would
have forfeited $4,000 for each quarter
of a knot lacking
The Missouri made an average speed
Of more than 10 knots on the run up
the coast. and about the same on the
run home No effort was made to rush
her. No accident Of any kind marred
the trial
Experienced officers of the navy say
that, while there is in the minds of
most naval men prejudice in favor
Of the gift of a silver service from a
city or state which wishes to honor
ship, yet there are objections to a sill
yer service which have been brought
out in recent years,
The sentiment on board a ship is
usually for the silver service, on the
broad general ground that it has al
ways been the form of expression
adopted by those interested in the ship.
Yet, it is pointed out, silver service is
seldom seen by the men on board, 1t
is usually kept In the cabin of the
captain, where the men never go eX-
cept on most extraordinary occasions,
and where it is, not even customary
for officers Of low rank to visit. Vis-
istors may come on board ship and
leave it by the score without ever dis
covering that there is silver service
aboard.
Few captains welcome visitors who
are not their personal friends, None
are in the habit of admitting the gem
eral public 10 their rooms, Then, too,
the sense of responsibility Of the cap
tain OF a ship is so great that It is a
very general custom for the officers OF
a ship to place the silver service in
n safety deposit vault before going on
an extended trip An officer who has
recently come to the department from
a long sea tour OF duty says he knows
OF one ship which has not had her sill
yer service aboard Of her for two years

After admiring the scenery before
him for few moments he turned and
slowly resumed his climb. On reach
ing the brow Of the hill he came to
sudden halt, and an exclamation OF sur
prise rose to his lips, for before him
sat young girl in front Of an easel.
She did not appear to notice his ap-
proach, and he stood regarding her
closely for a moment Then he stepped
a trife nearer to her and paused again,
thinking to attract her attention.
81 beg your pardon" he said at last,
lifting his hat Il had no idea should

He waited for an answer, but she did
not speak or look up. He moved still
nearer, and his shadow fell athwart her
canvas. She raised her head in startled
surprise
He spoke again, apologetically, Of
fering TO retire II his presence would
annoy her But she only gazed at him
blankly, and pointed to her lips and
ears, shaking her head gravely,
Then It dawned on him suddenly that
he had been talking to a deaf mute lie

And she did come again. Each sue

before his easel on the last day Of his
