VERMONT PASSES TRIALS,
Batteship Makes 1888 Knots in Northwest
Gale-Ineased in Ice.

Gale-Ineased IN Ice.
When the battleship Vermont from the
yard of the Fore River ship building and
engine company Of Quincy Mass, success
fully completed Saturday afternoon all her
government trials at sea, including four
hour run at full power, 2i.hour endurance
test and the usual turning and backing
maneuyers, her entire forward deck from
stem to bridge was incased in ice as the
result Of 36.hours' trip in a northwest
gale and zero temperature. Upon reaching
Boston Saturday night Rear Admiral Hemp
hill chairman of the naval trial board, nOii'
fled the secretary Of the navy that the behay-
Tor Of the ship had been excellent. In
the four.hour full,power run, which occurred
Friday, the Vermont averaged 1888 Knots
an hour and in the the "a hour test the aver
age speed was 17.43 knots and the horse
power 1l,50O The requirements called for
Is knots at full power and 1920 horse
power at two-thirds speed. The trials were
held under the most severe conditions yet
undergone by a government vessel in her
official tests, and the requirements were all
completed within four days, which is the
shortest period in which battleship has
been put through her PAGES.
From the time the Vermont started until
she finished, the weather was boisterous.
The four.hour run was made on south
southwest course and when it ended at los
Friday afternoon Cape Ann was about 80
miles on the starboard beam. Without stop
ping the Vermont began her 2i-hour test
with the Thermometer dropping rapidly and
the wind rising just as fast. II was i'm
possible to see more than mile OF two
ahead, owing to the thick mist from the cold
weather, but the vessel had swung around
to the eastward again, and course laid tow
ard Mt. Desert rock, \ number of runs
were made over this course during the "a
hours and all the time the big seas were
tumbling over the bow and the flying spray
was freezing as il struck No one on board
dared venture out of the superstructure for
ward, aud the lifelines which ran around the
deck and which at the start We're about
an inch in diameter, grew during the night
until they were foot thick. The ships bell
was almost hidden by ice, while the forward
mast was white to the truck. The 24'hour
test was finished shortly after o'clock
Saturday afternoon and then the turning and
backing trials were held.
