In the shipping anuals of the port of Hong icong, as important record has to be chronicled to-day in the arrival of the fins new turbine steamer on her maiden voyage from Yokohama to be engaged on the Trans-Pacific trade in the interests of her Japanese owners the Toyo Kissa Kaisha. The Tango Marii en- joys the distinction of being the very firat turbine steamer to be bulit in the re doward Japanese shipyards, and she is also conspicuous by the fact of being the first of that class of vessels to cast. ber anchorsini tla second most important port in the world." Com manded by Captain Philip H. Going, she left Yokobams on the rõib lust, arriving at Hong. kong to schedule time this morning. She took tip s her moorings off Stonecutters Is. We are told that the Funyo Mara, 14,000-ton, triple screw, turbine steamship, is the response to a demand for greater speed and added comfort. Built in Japan, it stands in detail of construction and arrangement as the highest expression of the | 'shipbuilder's art. The building of this liner occupied two years, but long before the keel was faid the builders wars scanning the seven seas that they might add to their own the ax perience of others and from the total of the world's best select the plans for the new Queen of the Pacific.

MEANING OF THE NAME. Tenyo, translated into English, meros, "Heaven”, and her sister ship Chiya" "Sea." The Finys Maru flies the Japanese flag dad is an important addition to Japan's merchan! marine, but it stands for more than that. As its name with that of the Chiyo is drawn from #all outdoors," an, in their construction, these liners embody and typify the shiphyllding of the universe.
IB SWIFT ANd safe.
The Tenyo Moru is swift and safe. The first is assured by the fact that it is driven by powerful turbine engines, the kind that give the great British warship Dreadnought "her marvellous speed, and of similar construction. to those that enabled the Lusitania and Mauretania to wrest the Atlantic record from all competitors. “Safety is assured by strength of-construction, and the use of wireless telegraphy and other moders devices for an nihilating distance; reduce to a negligible quantity the dread of a long sea voyage, once intimately associated with ocean travel.
COMFORT CAREFULLY CONSIDERED. The Tenyo Maru is comfortable. The tur bine engines insure an entire absence of vibra- tion, and the great sizs' of the ship is a guà- rantee of steadiness in the heaviest seaway. The use of liquid fuel means absolute cleanli mess, and decks, rails, chairs and other open air lounging places carry no menace' ol· grime to the whitest of duck or finen, or the daintiest of lace.
For other comforts, the luxurious side of "Ocean travel, the world's storehouse bas-been- drawn upon for its best. In the matter of cuisine, the Toyo K-sen Kaisha reputation will be folly maintained."

"On C deck is located an inquiry office for the benefit of all passengers. The purser is also situated here, and on the alter end of the same deck is a well-equipped surgery and hospital. There is a printing office an deck from which will be published in daily paper containing the latest world's news received by wireless, gossip of the ship and a record of the big turbine's behaviour.
CARGO GEAR.
For the benefit of those concerned in the transportation of freight, a brief outline of the Tenyo Maru's cargo handling equipment will be of interest. Each hatch, there are eight of then, is provided with two of Clark Chapman's. winches, specially designed for the Toyo Kisen Kaisha. There are two.25-ton derricks. Twin capsians are fitted at fore andalt ex- tremes of C deck.

The vessel has been built toconform with·Lloyd's exacting requirements and the equally siringent rutes laid down by the Japan. ase Government. To insure adherence to these high standards of workmanship, representatives of Lloyds and of the Government bave super vised and passed upon every detail in the construction of the vessel,

The turbines are designed for a working bailer pressure of 180 pounds to the square inch, developing about 17,000 horse-power at 279 revolucións per minuts. As the turbines rotate in one direction only and are perfectly balanced, they do their work without neins and without vibration.

THREE PROPELLERS. The triple propeller arrangement has as much advantage over the twin screw, system as the twin screws are better than a single propeller. Smaller propellers can be used, thus reducing the chance of losing blades, and in case this happens 10 Dae propelter the liver is still as well off as the twin scrow steamer.

·AUXILIARY ENGINES.
In the engine-room are numerous powerful auxiliery engines, each one duplicated as a provision against breakdown. There are twenty-eight sets of pumps, two powerfal evaporators and one duplex distiller for the manufacture of fresh water.
