The Glenapp" is identical in all respects with "Glenogle," which was fully described in the China Mail so that a further technical descrip tion need not be given. It may be mentioned, however, that each of the eight cylinder engines in the Gleniogle" develops 3,200 ih.p. and has cylinders 740 mm. diameter and

being developed at 115 rpm. The auxilary machinery is wholly electric ally operated, and there are four 100 kw. electric generating sets sup plying power for the purpose. The main engines drive their own com- pressors for injection air, and two to electric motors of 150 Ep. each, auxiliary air compressors are coupled these being put into operation when manoeuvring is required. The winches are electrically operated, the steering gear is of the electrical type, and a donkey boiler is fastalled for heating purposes and one or two auxiliary services. This is of the Cochran type. 1. It will be remembered that in the last motor ship turned out by Har land and Wolff the electric system of reversing was employed. This has any of the Glen liners, as the air not been used on the "Glenapp" or

reverse is still the standard method.

The fuel consumption of the "Glenapp," based upen results achieved from the Glenogle," will be in the neighbourhood of 18-20 tons per day, against about 45 fons of oil fuel on a corresponding oil fired, steamer, or 75-80 tons of coal on a steamer. Etted with coal-fired:
