TIE TTeTTiNTA.

Seldom since the epoch marking voyage of the
Savannah elghty-eight years ago has there been
80 much public interest In the voyage of a steam
ship across the AtlaDtic-smply as a voyage
as there is to-day IN the maiden trip of the
Uusitania. Nor has there often been voyage
which was so worthy of attention. Practically.
Il is almost as novel and as experimental as
that of the Savannah That pioneer steamship
demonstrated the possibility of such navigation
Of the Atlantic, and substantially refuted the
oocksure dictum Of one Of the greatest physical
scientists Of that age. that no steamship could
carry enough coal TO keep her furnaces sup
piled on so long voyage, This latest product
OF the shipbuilder's art is 10 demonstrate the
utility of a type of engine and TO show
whether the increase of speed and saving of
time will be sufficient to compensate for the
increased consumption Of fuel which her enor-
NOUS engine potency involves.
Thus the race of the Lustania is against
time and physical conditions. and not against
the Lucana any other nautical competitor.
As our London correspondent aptly remarked in
reporting the sailing of the ships. the Lusitania
is conceded TO be a sure winner over the Lu-
cania. The only question AT the start how
soon the one would overhaul and pass the other.
That was effected not. suggested. on the
second or third day. but. because of the slight
start granted TO the Lucana. in few hours
The question is. how much the ocean record
will be reduced by vessel which so greatly in
creases the record of engine power. OF course
this maiden voyage may not answer the ques-
ton at all. Bad conditions of weather or new
ness of machinery may compel the Lusitania TO
maintain a moderate rate of speed all the way
across. leaving all record breaking for some
future voyage. More than one flyer has had
that experience.
The first record" was that of the Great West
ern- sixty mine years ago. of about fourteen days
The first Cunarders. sixty-odd years ago were
content with an average speed of a little better
than eight knots, or one-third the present rec
ord. The American Collins Line reduced the
time across the ocean TO a little more than nine
days, distancing the Cunarders and setting a
record which was not beaten for years 1t was
not until 1852 that passage was made i'm less
than nine days: in 1863 the time was reduced TO
less than eight days. and then ii was not until
16s2 that the frst ocean greyhound ths
