THE STEERAGE:
The Japanese steerage is forward and the Chinese steragò aft on E deck. The Tengo Muru has accommodations for Boo stearage passengers. The sanitary strangements are as perfect as science can make them.. The venti lation affords cubic air space far beyond the legal requirements and in cold, weather the steerages are hosted by the thermotank system used in the first and second cabins. Dining tables and seats are provided as required by the amended laws governipe this class of travel, and the berths were made expecially by Hoskins for this particular purpose.

For other comforts, the luxurious side of ocean travel, the world's storehouse bar bees drawn upon for its best. In the matter of cuisine, the Toyo K sen Kaisha reputation will be fully maintained.
Before describing the ship in more detail, it might be well to call special attention to the principle followed in the designing and con' struction of this vessel, Skilled and experienced #gents of the Company circled the globe more than a few times in their search for the best. The courtesy of British, French, German And other naval constructors gave the Toyo Kisen Kaisha the benefit of. Oc. cidental experience with the latest devices for comfort and safety in equipment and con- struction, There are no experiments on the new liner. Every new feature adopted has stood the test of actual experience elsewhere and the completed ship represents the matured results of the world's greatest skill in naval architecture,
BUILDING STRICTLY SUPERVISED. The Tenyo Mar was built at the Mitsu Bibi Dockyard and Engine Works at Nagasaki, The vessel has been buih to conform with Lloyd's exacting requiremen's and the aygally stringent miles laid down by the Japan- ese Government. Ta insure adherence to these high standards of workmanship; representatives of Lloyds and of the Government have super vised and passed upon every detail in the construction of the vessel,
