THE MOTOR LINER.

The trials have just commenced of the largest and highest-powered motor passenger liner yet built. This is the "Saturnia," which sailed from Trieste to Buenos Aires on her maiden voyage on September 21. She will be followed in November by a still larger craft, the "Augus tus," which is a vessel of nearly 33,000 tuxe gross.

There does not seem to be any doubt that this number is greater. than that of steam-driven passenger vessels of equal tonnage, although it is only a comparatively short time since the first large oil-en- gined liner was built.
