BIG SHIPS INSURE COMFORT
immunity From Rolling and Pitching
Puts Premium on Large Vessels
Like the Mauretania.

Notwithstanding the beneficial eff
fects which many receive from sea
voyage, making the slow boats de-
sirable for that reason, there is no
doubt that the passenger steamer
from this time on will be the large,
fast boat The immunity from roll
ing and pitching, which is scarcely
noticed on ship like the Mauretania,
where the 20,000-ton and less vessels
would experience a rough passage,
puts a positive premium on the big
boats. Then, aside from those pas
sengers who are naturally poor sail
ors, are the constantly increasing
number who cross once or more each
year on business, and to whom time
and comfort are essential features.
For travel, the big ship will eventual
ly supersede the smaller ones, as fast
as they are retired, although the cost
in weight and fuel consumption makes
it unlikely that any substantial low
ering of speed is to be expected.
Before vessels of greater length
than 1000 feet can be used, there
must be new docks, as present dock
ing facilities, on both sides, have al
ready reached their limit thou
