Speedier Liners Coming

vessels would be probibitive for the
ordinary traveller, but during the tour
list season thousands Of wealthy Amer
leans would probably pay without hesi-
tation the high fare demanded for the
privilege Of crossing to Europe in four
days or less.
Ships construction and engineer
ing have now reached the stage at
which it would BE- feasible to build
n liner equal 10 the Majestic in size
and accommodating 1000 passengers,
but endowed with n speed OF 90 knots,
against the Majestic's 20 knots. Such
n vessel could cross the Atlantic in
four days. To improve upon this
speed it would be necessary 10 forsake
orthodox principles OF ship design and
build vessel on the bydroplane or
skimmiDg model. A noted authority
ON Atlantic passenger traffic predicts
the eventual appearance OF such YES
sells.
They would resemble the navy's
famous coastal motor boats" in hav'
ing a stepped" hull, the effect Of
which is to raise the major part of
the vessel out Of the water when she
Is moving at full speed, thus reducing
the area Of resistance.
One experimental design which has
been worked out provides for n small
"skimming" liner Of 1900 tons, TO
carry 80 passengers. She would be
driven at a speed Of 80 knots, md
could thus steam from Southampton
10 New York or vice versa in three
days, plus a few hours.

I ONDON, Jan. 16.-It is a striking
- fact that the swiftest ocean
liner in existence, the Mauretania,
should be q comparatively old ship,
built eighteen years ago.
Liners Of much greater tonnage have
since gone afloat, but none has a
speed equal 10 that Of the veteran
Cunarder. Her record trip was made
in August Of last year. when she Gov
cred the 3lJS sea miles from New
York 10 Cherbourg in five days, ono
and three-fourths hours, Mt an average
sped Of 20 II knOts-say, 30 miles
On hour. This was an amazing per-
Torrance, and was rendered yet mO=e
remarkable by the age Of the ship and
her machinery.
NOWADAYS 1t would be possible 10
build a liner Of far greater speed,
and some may wonder why this has
not been done. The answer is that
very high speed is an expensive lux
ury. 1t is doubtful whether the Maure.
taDia, even with a full passenger list,
earns an appreciable profit for her
owners on these record-breaking runs,
owing TO the enormous CONSUMPTION
Of fuel. But il travellers are prepared
to pay the price for still faster irsns-
port on the Atlantic ferry mere
would be no difficulty in meeting their
requirements.
The chairman Of the United Stntes
Shipping Board believes the aayent OF
superliners Of unheard Of speed to be
only a question Of time.
