For, with the constructional and mechani- cal strides that have transformed the ship into a floating hotel, have come also changes material to personal comfort of the passen-

gers.

An example of this development may be found in the N.Y.K. Orient-Seattle liner 8.8. Siberia Maru, at present lying in Hong Kong harbour, which as a result of the recent commission of the Asama Baru, the first of the three super passenger motor lin- ers on the Orient-California ser- vicc, has been transferred to the Company's Seattle Service.

A Splendid Veteran The Siberia Maru has been one of the most popular passenger carriers on the Southern route (via Honolulu).

The fact that the present con- version of the Siberia Maru into a cabin ahlp was carried out at ne small sacrifice on the part of the Company can clearly, be seen from the following dataila of changes effected in her passenger accommodation.

Cabin Class

these

In the cabin class, out of her 32 staterooms, 24 are those of the former first class, and rooms, which previously usually accommodated 3 persons, were all converted into rooms for one or two passengers. All cabin class rooms are fitted with regular full- length

but actually spacious.

Having viewed the whole of the passengers' quarters OD the Siberia Maru, one can only come to the conclusion that she is as comfortable a vessel for her age run, and would have no hesita as may be found on the Pacific

tion in commending her to all intending travellers to the United States, whether they sail as cabin, tourist, or steerage passengers.
