TEE GREAT ATLANTIC RACE,

GIANT SHIPS WITH NEW YORK AS GOAL.

Picture a great modern argosy of giant steel steamships racing pcross the Atlantic with tremendous cascades of foaming green water splashing down on their decks as they grimly light a midsummer storm, burning oil and coal us if they word "free air” on 3,000-mile voyages from Mediterranean porta and England and France. And Saving the same objective-this United States dedicated by its founder to "life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness," writes the Sydney Sun's New York cor- respondent.

Every abip is cramowed to the limit of ita steerage or third-class accommodation with modern argonauts in search of a secord chance in this world, seeking in the new what is attainable in the old.

The Tower of Babel was" a resthouse' compared with the multitude of langues

poken by these travellers.

The commander of each, ship is striving by superior speed, seamanship, or shrewd maritime manœuvre, to make,New York before his competitors, that his motley steerage folk may obtain admission to the States under the law which limits the lurush of nationals of any overseas country to

rationality who were resident in the U.S.A. in 1910, the last census year.

Navigation authorities have notified that shipe must come by the southern route, I which means that they traverse the Atlantic at a sharp slant, which places them 1,000 miles almost direct east of New York when they straighten up for the final dash home. Icebergs drifting down the American coast imperil shipping which does not stand für out, for with the prodigious masses of ide are fogs, and collision means fearful disaster."

Yet there is still margin for daring uad adventure and stiperman seamanship in cutting corners to shorten the distance. And chief engineers (mostly Scotsmen) toil at their blue prints and slave in their engine-rooms to squeeze the last possible bit of speed out of their ships. That strange factor called "slip" can make them first or last. The Mauretania in, the gray- bound of the Atlantic hause she only loses five per cent. by "slip", when at her top, while the Aquitania when under pressure loses 13 per cent.

LL

The urge to this great transatlantic race is that every ship which carries immigrants in excess of the quota allowed 'admission is fined £40 per immigrant, has to refund al passage money, paid by these unlucky people, and has to carry them back to Europe without charge.

STEERAGE AT 211003. PRICE. Small wonder that it is a stern contest. And to the ships which win through there is good profit. For each immigrant pays from £27 to £32 passage money, an amount equal to first-class luxury fares before the war. They live roughly but healthily, with sound food, and cabina, which have to be kept spotlessly clean.

T'here are 7,000 of them on these rating ships, and full 50 per cent. are of Jewish origin. Already New York, is known as the New Jerusalem: Two decades hence Zionism will be impossible outside the United States. On the Aquitania there are 407 migrants, of whom 242 are Jews, and a vigorous, virile, dark-haired clumsily- built, silent colony they are. Amongst them they spent seventeen different languages. On the other six ships there is multiplied confusion of speech..

But all dream the same dreams land of boundless promise where there are no. persecutions and no pogroms, and where industry and frugality will bring an affluence known only to the aristocracy in Europe. So the elders sit immobile, staring soer-like into the future, and the youngsters rompe fight, and sing and dance strange barbarie steps to quaint primitive tunes: All ar excited: all are expectant. Moses never had such a happy family.

So they come past Nantucket with only a few miles to cover before they reach the city where the buildings soarmup to the sky and the streets surpass the cinema. And at the moment of their higher hopes a dark impenetrable fog descends upon them even as they can faintly hear the sweet melodious note of the bell-buoys. The wide generous beckoning mouth of the Hudson becomes a ghostly tantalising terror. The desire to win beyond the Statue of Liberty over night collides with the instructive impulse of safety first.

The fog throbs with eager wireless messages from seven frantic commanders. Shore agents stampede to harbour officials for authority to ignore ordinary water traffic inhibitions. They store, cajole, plead. All the time the seven ships creep stealthily, literally fout by foot fi anchorage in the outer harbour, whence they can dash at dawn, to quarantine, waters, where chronological arrival bally determines the fate of the migïnats.-
