Persons from the city who were III
boats near the navy yard yesterday

the remarkably fast craft which has
just been received at the Pensacola
aeronautic station, and which is said
to be capable of exceeding in speed
on the water. anything of its kind ever
turned out by the government con-
tractors.
This new craft was seen a couple
of days ago by citizens who were fish
ing off the entrance OF the bar, as
they said, 'hooked-up" to her speed
limit, land, believe me, she was going
some.'' said one of them. It was un-
officially stated that the craft was
equipped with 100 horsepower motors,
and that on a try-out yesterday, a
speed of more than forty knots was
chaII1ed up, and that was not, it was
reported, her limit.
