liRhtship. a total OF 2,ss9 nautical miles.
Her hourly average was 2I0s nautical miles
During the twenty-four hours finishing
at noon on Thursday she made fine show
ing and for time averaged 20 knots. II
was thought that the big ship would make
$50 for the days run, but she ran into
strong gale and rough sea and made oi9.
As long as the regulations OF Ambrose
