Makura, Most Up-to-date Boat.
More up-to-date than even the much
praised Tenyo Maru of the Japanese
line, the Canadian Australian turbine
steamship Makura, which arrived from
Sydney yesterday morning on her maid
en- voyage 10 Vancouver and Victoria,
certainly deserves the name of being
one OF the finest passenger vessels call
ing at this port. While ample cargo
space has been afforded, the design and
plans OF the boat have been centered
on giving the passengers plenty of room
IN the cabins, on deck, in the dining
room and IN the parlors, lounging and
smoking rooms. Luxuries and convent
ences which mark the most modern de-
velopment in hotels are found on every
hand in this palatial vessel.
First OF all she has three grades of
staterooms-frst, second and third
class. The vessel is arranged so that
each grade is separate and there Is no
occasion for one class to come in con-
tact with the other. The third-elass IS
forward. the frst-class occupies all the
midships section, and the second class
accommodations are aft. The second
class dining room is equal to many in
frst-elass sections of other liners, while
the third class dining hall and state
rooms are coy, comfortable and above
all attractive.
The dining-rOOm of the first cabin
Is on the main deck and is airy, cheer
ful and well-furnished. A light and air
well passes up through the next two
decks and about the well are the
ladies' music room and parlor, room
whose walls are finished in satin, and
above this is the gentlemen 5 lounge,
the well being surrounded by stained
glass frame Of handsome design. All
three rooms remind one of the grand
parlors OF q metropolitan hotel. Then
there are telephones on every hand, the
chief steward 3 room being Central
There are lounging rooms fore and aft,
and uarIors fore and aft for ladies.
There are campanionways and corridors
evervwh here giving entrances and exits.
The lavatories. baths, steward 5, stew
ardesses' and purser s rooms are mark
"a by Illuminated glass signs so that
they can easily be found day or night,
feature which might well be copied
on American vessels. Small signs on
the deorways, in the corridors and on
deck point the way to various points
OF common interest on the vessel
There Is even a children 5 dining
room extending from one side of the
ship TO the other, half of which IS
given over 10 a playrOom. There are
iavat0riums where needle baths are pro
viaed. There is an engine for pumping
ozone into the rooms. The freight der
ricks are hydraulic and make only
slight suction noise, in contrast TO the
shrieking. putting, jangling derrieks on
American boats which still use the old
fashioned steam winehes.
There : luxury and comfort in every
department. The Makura IS like
huge hotel. She has enough corridors,
decks, and stalEways to make pas
senger's daily life aboard just bit
verturesame. OF course. being an Eng
Iish steamer she has bars, and if one
starts from the bow and stops at the
little refreshment stations along the
wav. by the time he has reached the
stern. life may appear in very smII-
ING mood.
