AGENTS,

A small short run motorship of just over 1,300 h.p. and 1,000 tons gross operating between Copen- hagen and the island of Bornholm, in the Baltic, has a fuel consump tion of 0,309 lb. of fuel, per l.h.p. hour for all purposes. In com- parison with a steamer of exactly the same size, she has accommo- dation for 35 per cent. more pas- sengers and 16 par cent. more cargo.

It is, as n

matter of fact, the lack of any native fuel which has given such a tremendous flip to the motorship in Scandinavian countries. After all, it makes a tremendous lot of difference to the outlook of a country towards a revolution in marine engineering whether the fuel for that prime mover is native or not. England's mercantile supremacy was bullt up on the coal fired steamer, and -upon the 'coal export industry. She is now going through the throes of self-adjustment to main- tain that hard earned supremacy by means of the dil-using ship.

11 Scandinavia, Germany, Hol land; and Italy dropped out of maritime tradingto-day, Great Britain would drop motorshipping to-morrow. But the race in the international carrying trade is only to the swiftest, and that is why motorship' tonnage building in world shipyards to-day exceeds: steamship' tonnage by a substan- tial amount,
