ANOTHER MARINE MONSTER.

While the new Cunarder Lusitania is
forging ahead in an effort to break the
worlds record over the Atlantic. Harlan
&Wolf, of Belfast, are engaged on plan;
for the construction of a new mammoth
liner for the White Star feet, designed
to eclipse every previous effort in the
department of naval architecture.
The new vessel, it is said, will possess a
number of features hitherto unknown in
oceangoing steamers. In length and
tonnage che will be a surprise, but the
intentions of the builders as regards speed
are being preserved a close secret. In
all probability she will be fitted with
turbines, in which case it is natural ia
conclude the question of high speed
will be one that will enter into calcu-
lations of the owners and builders. The
keel of the new steamer is expected
to be laid within q few months. AS
much secrecy is being maintained with
regard to details Of the vessel as il she
were new type of war vessel. This
only is admitted that she is intended To
be the worlds greatest.
