THE
AQUITANIA,"
THE LARGEST BRITISH LINER.
LIVERPOOL, May 14th.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 11TH, 1914.
The new Cunard liner Aquitain, the largest British liner afloat, arrived in the Mersey this morning and will enter the Gladstone Dock at Liverpool to-morrow to be prepared for her first voyage to New York, which begins on May 30th. The presence of the ship in the fairway from carly morning aroused great interest, ber general resemblance to the Lusitania and Mauretania being the subject of almost universal comment, The export, however, detected important differences.
First, it was noted that the poop deck | in the new ship was higher and flash with the forecastle head, giving a better appearance at the stern. The forecastle, too, is longer and she has a beautiful shear. Again," amidships great plate glass panels enclose the sides of the new ship, forming on the topmost, or “ A‚” deck, a garden tonnge and on the next, or "B, deck, an enclosed pronienade, In this latter an important innovation has been introduced in the form of a raised terrace near the deck-house, where people may recline on deck chairs free of the promenaders, who, on their part, cannot obstruct the View scaward.
Moreover, the face plate of the stepped terrace is piorced with lighting and ventilation panels, while similar windows are formed on the foot of the coamings of the deck-house behind, and thus natural light and ventilation are given to a second and third row of specially plained state rooms on the third, or "C,” deck. At each end of the terrace, too, aro special suites with isolated verandahs. These are only the more obvious to observers to-day of many novel features in the details.
BIZE AND SPEED.
The Aquitania, too, did not seem to differ materially in size from the two earlier Canarders, because her propor- tions, and particularly her four funnels and two masts, give such a pleasingly symmetrical appearance. Were the Lust- lenia and Aquitanie placed side by side. in the Mersey the great increase in size would be demonstrated. With her wift.: gin. of length the Aquitania is 110ft. Sin," longer than her, two, sister liners, and the beain of 07ft. is oft, greater, while the

| her voyagé will be 53,000 tons, or nearly
15,000 tons more.
This last is absorbed entirely by pro- visions for greater dividend earning: more cargo and a greater number of passengers are arranged for. This was facilitated further by the decision to give her a less speed, one which would enable her to make the round voyage to New York in 10 days with adequate time to

possible for the Cunard Company to con- duct their weekly mail service with three- leviathans. In the Aquitania, notwith- standing her greater displacement ton- nage, the weight of machinery is 9,000 tons, against 0,930 tons in the unitania, and the tonnage of coal for the voyage will be 53,000 tons.
MEASUREMENT OF VIBRATION.
The propelling machinery, of approxi- mately 80,000 shaft horse-power, incor porates many developments evolved since the Lusitania was completed. The experience gained by the Cunard Com pany in the working of the Lusitaniu and Mauretania, and that accumulated by the builders, Messrs. John Brown & Co., in the design and manufacture of turbines,
has resulted in several improvements applicable specially to large power merchant ships. It was to test these, rather than to run speed trials, that the vessel has steamed 48 hours since leaving the Clyde on Tuesday morning. The true speed test will be across the Atlantic. Mr. A. A. Booth, the chairman of the Cunard Company, and several of the directors were on board during this week's trials.
It should be stated first that the machinery had only been turned slowly before Tuesday, and therefore it was decided slowly to work it up to full power after leaving the anchorage. Several runs were made over the measured mile at Skelmorlic at speeds from 12 to 24

But sufficient data were got to justify" the belief that the anticipations of design will be fully realized—namely, an average speed of not less than 23 knots on the Transatlantic voyage. There was on board a pallograph for measuring and recording vibration, and this was in con- 10 stant use successively at numerous points on the various decks.
