As stated in the reports which we have published, the average speed of the Europa was 27.91 knots, and the voyage across oc-! cupied 4 days 17 hours and minutes, the length of the route chosen being 3,157 miles. It was originally assumed that the Europa had covered a distance of 70 miles more than that covered

WARSHIPS IN PORT

That the Bremen was favoured by the exceptionally good weat- ther does not make any difference. for, in addition to the delay caus ed by launching the aeroplane, the vessel on her first outward voyage had to be slowed up on two ac-ing were:- casions owing to fog.

These two factors together con- firm the statement that the speed of the Bremen on her first cross- ing to America was, in all respects, equal to that achieved by the Europa.

125,000 Horsepower.

In this connection mention should be made of information which we have obtained from re- liable sources to the effect that in. order to make her record trip the Europa made use of 125,000 horse-power. This figure may be accepted as correct, for the dis- placement of the Europa is larger and her draft is more than the Bremen, which, as is already known, on her first trip to New York required, on the average, only 112,000 e.h.p. for an average speed of 27.88 knots.

There can be no doubt that the propelling machinery of the Bremen can, with full working safety guaranteed, maintain a permanent average output of 125,000 horse-power, and even more. For this engine power. of the Bremen an average speed of 28.25 to 28.50 knots is required under favourable weather condi tions, and could be reached at any time, pr

Finally, it should be remem bered that up to the present tims the Eurons only, holds half of the Blue Riband, as it were, becausa she has not yet broken the record on the return voyage f America to Europe, which is by the Bremen, speed Yorkto
