Not content with having built and engined three years ago 2,400-ton flotilla-leader (Tigre), which attained the remarkablo speed of 26.7 knots on trials, the "Ateliers et Chantiers de Bre- tagne" have supplied. for the 10,000-ton cruiser "Tourville," a 130,000. h.p. machinery installa- tion, which gave the ship in the course of her trials a speed as high as 36.15 knots,
