This was the state of affairs up to a few months ago, when quotations for the lant orders were obtained. Messrs, Wilhelm Wilhelmsen add that, although well satisfied with the ships delivered from the Con- tinental yards, they would very 'much like ngain to come to British builders, owing to the firm's old connections with many of these, and when again in the market they will investigate pricaos in England.

TRANSFORMING STEAMERS TO

The United States Shipping Board has authorized the expenditure of the remaining $10,000,000 in the Conversion Fund for transforming steamers into motor ships.

Ten vessels are to be converted,

We referred the matter, states "The Motor Ship" to Messrs. Wil- helm Wilhelmsen, who during the past seven years have ordered 32 motor ships in five different coun- none in England. Our tries, but friends inform us that whenever contracting for new vessels they and experiments will be made to have inquired from prominent nacertain whether the speed can be British builders what prices they increased two knots.

Express Cargo Steamers For C. P. R.-

BEAVERHIL

The fourth of the diva 10.000 ton cargo steamers under construction in the Old Country for the Atlantic service of the Canadian Pacific was launched recently from the yards of Messrs. Harclay, Curls and Co, Glasgow. With appropriate ceremonies and in the presence of a large gathering of Canadian Pacific Officials, the now ship was christened the "Beaverhill" by Miss Mavis Giles, (inset) daughter of Captain James Gilles, general manager of the Canadian Pacific Steamships Ltd.

When these new steamers are delivered, the Canadian Pacific cargo fleet will be augmented by five of the highest type of express cargo steamers and capable of maintaining a speed of 14 knots an hour, which is regarded es exceptional for cargo steamers. The marked growth of ocean trade between Great Britain and Canada via the St. Lawrence route, has prompted the Canadian Pacific to augment their freight service to this extent. These vessels will be used to maintain a weekly servico between Canadian ports and those in Great Britain and on the Continent.

The new freighter, like her sister ships the Beaverburn, Beaverdale, Beaverford and Beaverbrae, is 520 feet in length B1 and a half feet in width with a deadweight carrying capacity of approximately 10,000 tons and load draft of 27 feet; but should a need arise as much as 13,000 tons may be carried on the maximum load draft.” The ships will bo driven by twin scrow.
