AN IMMENSE STEAMER.
Salt Lakers Test the Baltic on Her
Initial Trip.

The latest White Star leviathan and
without a doubt the mightiest steamer
ever launched, carried ON its initial
trip to this country a Salt Laker In
the person Of Elder Levi Edgar Young,
who is returning home from a three
years mission to Switzerland. Going
back the big boat had aboard f. t.
Hint2e Of Big Cottonwood, who Is maxi
ing a trip to- his native country, Nor
way, In search Of family genealogy.
The Baltic, which is the name
Of the new boat, was recent
ly launched from the yard of
Harland & Woolf at Belfast.
The ship registers 900 tons, exceeding
by 5000 tons the Cedric and Celtic, two
of the largest steamers aloat Her
capacity for cargo Is about $4,000 tons.
and the displacement at her load draft
about 10000 tons. She Is 726 feet IN
length, or 26 feet longer than the
steamers above named, which, with her
two great tunnels and four pole masts,
she strongly resembles. The symmetry
OF her hull Is so perfect that 1t is only
when In juXtaposition TO other craft
that the steamers tremendous size Is
apparent; but the like sense OF proper
ton in regard to the passengers quar-
ters is equally distinctive.
The big boat Is fitted with engines
Of the Harland 6 Woolf quadruple ex-
pansion type, arranged on the balanced
principle which practically does away
with vibration, and will steam about
n knots. She is primarily intended TO
meet the wants OF those whose first de-
sire Is not great speed but the largest
amount of comfort on an ocean voyage,
The boat can carry 5000 passengers
and a crew of about $50, and her ac-
commodations throughout are OF the
best best. She is handsomely equipped
and all first class accommodation Is
amldshlps.
