The Lusitania beats her time for
her maiden trip by approximately
seven hours, her time on that trip be-
ing five days and fifty-four minutes.
with the Lusitania's trip the Cum
ard line ana England captures from
Germany the eagerly sought record
for possessing the fleetest ship on the
Atlantic. The Hamburg American
liner Deutschland has held the record
for number OF years. steamship
men also claim that the achievement
of the Lustania proves the superior
ity of turbine engines over the re-
ciprocating tyne.
The Lusitania's best days run OF
619 knots is nine knots better than the
former record held by the Deutsch-
land. Her average speed exceeds the
former record of 2s.5S held by the
Kaiser Wilhelm II. Of the North Ger
