The engine in question is an eight- cylinder Crossley Premier four-cycle vis-a-vis model designed to develop 600 b.h.p. at 270 r.p.m., but capable! of inaintaining an output of 575 b.h.p. at a speed of approximately 300 r.p.m.

Control is wholly effected from the bridge and is on the special system developed by the B.T.H.

The new ferry will be practically similar in main characteristics to the steamers now in service. These will have to be replaced by new ships in due course, and it is na- turally believed that, should' the Diesel electric system prove suc- cessful in every respect, of which there seems to be little doubt, it will be used in any further tonnage which may be ordered.
