NEW STEAMER Ell SOL
MAKES GREAT RECORD
Big Freighter SteamS Into
Galveston Twelve Hours
Ahead of Schedule Time.

Advices were received here yester-
dav from New York that the Southern
Pacific Company's immense new
freight steamer FL Sol. which was
turned out from the local shipyard
two weeks ago, had established q
great record on her maiden voyage
from New York to Galveston. The
vessel steamed into Galveston harbor
Friday evening. nearly twelve hours
ahead Of her scheduled time and il Is
estimated that she averaged nearly
seventeen knots throughout III voy-
age.
The performance Of the FL Sol is
highly gratifying 10 the yard officiais
as well as the owners of the craft. Her
performance is regarded here as still
anol her proof that the best ships oil
all kinds are turned out from the plant
of the Newport News Shipbuilding d
Dry Dock Company.
Under the terms of the contract, the
FL Sol was required TO maintain an
average speed of Is 1-2 knots an houF
on the round trip run from New forh
To Galveston and return. she mas
completed half the voyage with flying
colors and the yard officials believe
that she will be able to make as good
time on the return voyage to Ne"
York.
Tho III Sol is the first of four
freight steamers building for the
southern Pacific Company to be com
Melted. The others are to be finisheu
his wear. They are the largest ana
handsomest freight steamers on the
Atlantic coast
