ferent owners who, between them, 22 liners of this already possess class. As only two steam-driven
liners are being built for these particular concerns, it would seem that shipowners generally are show- ing a marked preference for the oll-engine drive. A short timo ago, when a similar analysis was made with reference to cargo ships, it was found that 28 different shipowning firms had, between them, ordered 279 motor shipa since they had first gained perience with such craft, and, in the same period, had only structed 33 steamers.
