together to the other room.
They could hear commotion of |
some sort in the hall, the hum of many |
voices, the shutting of many feet.
The commotion swelled to an uproar |
as Simmonds opened the door and
closed it quickly behind him. Godfrey
heard his voice raised in angry expos
tulation, and he chucllled grimly to
himself as he turned to Miss Croydon.
He gazed at her with interest. search

her secret-at the bent head, with its
crown of dark hair, Swallowed by a lit
tie velvet hat; at the rounded arms, the
graceful figure.
He paused yet moment. looking at
her, at the slender hands, the little ear,
and he pictured to himself what her
training had been. how she had been
fenced away from the rough places of
tie world, the unpleasant things of life.
Certainly she could never have COM
mitted such a crime as this or even
connived at it.
Yet she had lied-deliberately and
distinctly she had lied. She had told
him that she had never before seen the
dead man. She had told Simmonds just
the opposite. Which was the truth?
Doubtless the first. Her first impulse
would be to speak the truth. After

mastered her agitation. had thought out
the lie. and had uttered it With sur

New Amsterdam Making First voy'

BIG Demonstration At ROTTERDAM
NEW BOAT is NOT AN OCEAN
FLYER, BUT is POWERFUL
SHIP.

ROTTERDAM, April THE New
Amsterdam" the latest addition to the
fleet of the Holland american line,
started from here otday in it's maiden
trip to New York. In honor of the
event the ships in the harbOr displayed
flags, and when the great liner pass
ed out of the harbor the whistles and
sirens of the craft in the harbor gave
a parting salute. The liner carried a
full cargo of passengers and freight
for New York, and expects to return
from New York to Rotterdam on April
25th.
The New Amsterdam is not an Ocen
flyer It's speed does not exceed six
teen knots, which is rather slow for an
ocean liner. 1t is built more for safety
and comfort than for speed. The
steamer has a length of 615 feet; beam
6S1a feet; depth, As feet. 1t measures
1880 gross register tons, with a dis
placement of 80, 200 tons. Like the 9th
er steamers of the Holland American
line, it is constructed of steel, provid-
ed with bilge keels, and has two sep
arate sets of quadruple expansion en-
gines of 10000 horse power, each SCI
working independently of the other
and each being capable of running the
steamer across the Atlantic without
the least difficulty.
Four powerful dynamos furnish the
steamer with electric light. A double
bottom extends over the entire length
of the ship. Twelve budkheads eXten(
to the upper deck, dividing the shil
into thirteen watertight compartment
and a watertight bulkhead divides tn
boiler room into two different com
partments, thus giving the steame
two entirely separate sets of boilers.
