The order for this vessel may be re garded as the most daring advance at a single step which has been undertaken since men first began to talk of the com- ing of the motor ship. This vessel is not only to have the relatively high speed of 18 knots, but she is to be employed ou the long sea passage between New Zealand and Vancouver. Ten years ago the idea of installing any kind of motor generator in so large vessel intended for so long a designed speed of 15 knots, would have been regarded as madness. I may be safely said no shipowner would have entertained the "proposal. It speaks well for the enterprise of all concerned that an agreement should have been made for laying down this great ship. with triple screws, in the confident expectation that she will develop from 12,000 to 13,000 b.h.p..
