Mesara Harland and Wolf are the builders of this fine steamer, and she was this week brought round from Belfast to London in preparation for her realy serious work. By the courtesy of the directors I have Ind an opportunity of personally tasting her sonworthiness and her extraordinarily completa equipment for the comfort and pleasure of those who are fortunate enough to travel by her. She is a 12,2000 tons, twin screw steamer, with Messrs Harland and Wolff's test balanced" quadruple type of enginea on Hoard. These engines reducc the vibration to a minimum, and while the vessel is almost immovable in a gale-ns I found in the Channel-the engines can scarcely be felt in any part of her, so that noither from roll nor vibration are the passengers subjected to discomfort.
