OF her trial runs Of SOq nautical miles
the Mauretania averaged the remarkable
speed for n merchant vessel Of 27.98 knots
and on all four runs over the same
course. under varying weather conditions
from half a gale TO a calm. she made an
hourly average Of 26Oa knots. The Lusi-
tania is expected to maintain a speed Of
rs knots from Daunt's Rock to Sandy Hook
II is thought that the newer ship will beat
this by about knot. thus bringing Queens
town and New York within four and half
days of each other.
To attain her great speed the Maure-
tania has engines Of nearly 10000 horse
power, which drive her four prOpellers at
the rate OF 1893 revolutions a minute. Her
furnaces. with a heating surface Of l5s. .OOO
square feet. consume about 1000 tons Of
coal a day.

The Mauretania cost somewhat more
than her sister. her decorations being much
more expensive and somewhat more ar

in any one OF the many rooms. all Of which

serve to heighten this impression. The

The Mauretania ia double sided as well
