with her side paddles and the new
Cunarder with her quadruple turbines.
The voyage of the Lusitania was
chiefly important in that it was the
great speed test of the most modern
propulsive power. This is the view
taken by her owners, who are salts

The fact that the Lusitania was able
to cross the Atlantic in five days and
81 minutes and on her maiden trip
nearly equal the best transatlantic
record, is held to be of secondary i'm
portance. officials of the line say that
the Lusitania has done all that was
expected of her without having been
pushed for a speed record, and they
are confident that she will be able,

that turbine-driven vessels would
