Days Run.

teen hours and ftty-two minutes out from
Queenstown with every transatlantic
speed record in It's possession, tic CunArd
liner Lusitania swept by Sandy Hook
lightship at 117 a. m. today and after 4
pause off the bar TO await daylight
steamed slowly up the harbor to receive
the recognition OF its right to the title or
queen of the sea. Three records were
written down in it's log book, two OF them
wrested from the great German rivals
OF the Cunard. and one from the swift
Lucania Of it's own line. They were the
shortest time from any European port
to New York. the fastest average speed
for any transatlantic voyage. 1888 nautical
miles per hour; and the longest daily run,
617 nautical miles. Translated into land
miles, its speed average for the run was
27.6O miles an hour. Its achievement is
triumph for British ship building and
sailors and may mark the beginning OF
the universal installation Of the turbines.
The records which It has broken were:
That held by Kaiser Wilhelm II, Of the
North German Lloyd line, which crossed
from New York to Plymouth at an average
speed Of 235S knots, as compared with the
Lusitania's 1898.
That held by the Hamburg American
liner Deutschland OF FIVE days eleven hours
and ifty-hve minutes from Cherbourg to
New York.
That held by the Cunard liner Lucania,
which crossed from Queenstown to New
York in FIVE days seven hours and twenty
three minutes
Besides. the Lusitania mas broken it's
own record of five days fifty-four
minutes. made on it's maiden trip from
Queenstown
The Lustania in its daily runs exceeded
on two days the record of Col knots
previously held by the Deutschland.
