We should find it a little difficult to translate this word into English, but the meaning is clear. Frankly, we do not like it, and trust that, like the aquare funnels of some of the Messageries Maritimes ships,
it will not come into general usage. In this country there appears to be a difference of opinion whether
the words "motor ship" should be
