fore she started out, says: "The Governor
Cobb is a gem and everyone is delighted
with the craft. Her furnishings are ele-
CANT and her trial trip proves that the
steamer has speed. The turbines work
successfully and the new steamer is a fore
runner of others to be built along this line.
The Camden, which is being built at Bath
for the Bangor division, when completed will
be fully up to the standard of the Governor
Cobb. Steamer Catherine was taken off
