Auxiliary motors, Captain Blom said, could be fitted to assist in docking, in crossing the doldrums, and in beating up against a head wind, and the same motor could be employed to develop electrical power for working the sails, load- ing and unloading and for the various other purposes in which it was used on board the ordinary passenger and cargo vessel. In that way the crew carried could be considerably reduced, and advant- age could be taken to train a num- ber of apprentices for the ordinary. mercantile marine posta,

In order to investigate the most suitable form for such a vessel the author compared the resistances of his proposed design of a four-2 masted barque with those of three representative clipper ships and with one of the large modern steel sailing ships, He found that his idea design should approximate more closely to the lines of the early clippers than the modern sailing ships did, and a number of West River at Shishing diagrams were presented showing North River at Tsingyuel the variation of resistance with the North River at Samshui speed.
East River at Sheklung
Far the 27th.
In the design outlined in the paper the author contemplated arranging fifty separate and roomy outside cabins for first class pas- sengers and apacious and well ventilated public rooms.
With a dead weight of about 1,500 tons, the vessel would carry a crew of fifty- eight, twenty-Ave of whom would be apprentices. A motor of appro- ximately 450 h.p. would, drive the
weather, and all auxiliaries would be motor driven.
