KEARSARGE MAKES RECORD

Bar Harbor, Me, (Special)-With .
great wave under its bow and a black
cloud Of smoke pouring from It's two
tunnels, the battleship Kearsarge
steamed into the harbor yesterday af-
ternoon, ending the most remarkable
passage ever made across the ocean
by a battleship and establishing a rec
ord from England to this country for
that class of ship.
Leaving The Needles at 1925 p. m.
on Friday, July II, the Kearsage arriv-
ed at Mount Deseret rock yesterday at
1880 p. M, covering the distance Of
slightly less than 5000 miles in nine
days four and on%e-quarter hours, when
the difference in time is taken into
consideration.
This performance makes the Kear-
sarge a worthy compeer to the Oregon,
which withstood the hardest test to
which such a vessel ever was subject
ed on it's world-famous trip Of $4,000
miles from San Francisco to Santiago.
Finishes In Fighting Trim.
The trip of the Kearsage has de-
monstrated that a ship of it's class
can maintain an average speed Of over
thirteen knots on a long voyage with
out injury to its machinery; that its
coal carrying capacity is adequate for
a trip Of 1000 miles under full speed;
that in time of war ships of this class
can cross the ocean an engage an
enemy at once; and thai the Kearsage
is M of the most perfect ships in the
world, and fully equal to any emer-
gency.
Narrowing Ride In Gale.
The highest speed produced was If
teen knots, when the vessel was in
when it was slowed down in a gale
and tremendous head sea 1t ran under
reduced speed for several hours, but
as soon rs the gale abated it was
again hooked up and at nee ran
UP to thirteen knots and better. July
10, when the gale struck, Captain
Homphill kept the ship going at top
speed until the walls of water came
over the high superposed forward tur'
ret and the vessel dipped the stern un'
til the water stood knee deep at times
on the quarter deck.
At Z a. m. July 2, the gale abated,
though a high head sea held on for the
rest of the day. At 6 p. M, July "a
a berg was passed about a mile away
on the port side. Fog remained dense
from July "a until the ship picked ur
tle whistle on Mount Desert rock.
The ship has steamed more than
5000 miles since leaving New York
