Mr Fyfe says:-It has been announced within the last few weeks that the South- Eastern and Chatham Railway Co. have or dered a new turbine steamer, which is to be built by Messrs, Denny, and to be delivered for next season's traffic, and which for speed, comfort, and convenience in expected to create a revolution in cross-Channel passages. The length of the vessel will be 300 ft., and she will have a beam of 40 ft. She will be entirely different from the pre- Bent type of mail packet. The upper or promenade deck is to have an overhead sholter, so that passengers can obtain pro- tection in rough weather without going below. Extensive cabin accommodation will also be provided.
