She made the passage from Hongkong to London 97 days, and earned in freight on this one occasion nearly three quarters on her original

The era of the China clippers marked the highest level of the deve: lopment of the sail driven vessel, Bigger sailing ships there have been in plenty both before and ships of 2,000 and even 3.000 tons. whereas very few of the clippers exceeded 1,000, and the majerity were considerably less than that tonnage. But there has been assured ly none faster, more admirable trouz the seaman's standpoint, nor more complete examples of utility and beauty combination.

Of the English clippers, the most famous was the " Thermopylae," con- sidered by many authorities the The fastest sailing ship ever built. "Thermopylae" was one of the latest of the clippers, being built in 1868, and her finest voyage was her first, in which she broke the record on each passage: from London to Australia, from Australia to China and from China to London again. Other celebrated British clippers were the "Ariel" and "Sir Lancelot." The sail span of the latter showed an area of more than 32,000 square feet excluding a few extra sails, such as the now obsolete "Jamie Green" and "Jibo-Lib," the "Titania," "Lahloo," and" Taeping."

Up to this time the English ship builders were inclined to be unduly sure of their position. The monopoly enjoyed by the East India Company until the expiration of its charter in 1834, and the protective effect of the navigation laws, encouraged them in
