Soon after the two fast Cunarders. the Lust

one could travel in luxury and at very high
speed through the agency OF turbine engines. the
White Star Line announced that IL would build
two steamers 20 beat the Cuuarders IN length and
breadth. and perhaps IN other ways also. It was
reported at the time that the new White Star
liners would be thousand feet n length. but sub
sequently It was officially announced that they
would be 800 feet long, with beam Of ninety feet
When II was decided to build them IL was found
that there vas gantry IN the world big enough
70 accommodate such monsters. and IL was then

roaming about the plains of New Mexico, and
he tells of the dogs used by the Indians to
maui their plunder lodge poles, indicating g
that they had no horses at that date
In l!l6 the Spanish again worked their way
eastward across the plains and their letters tell
OF the astonishment Of the Indians at seeing the
horses they had with them The expedition was
constantly losing horses, and there is little
doubt that the first drOves of Western horses
originated from these strayS
In the early days upon the plains they were
