FRACTIONAL ADVANCES From now on-unless some hit- herto undreamed-of inventions in regards to methods of propulsion and" forms of hull are brought to light-the story of the Atlantic speed record will be one of frac- tional advances, arst at short in- tervals, and then at much longer ones. The Queen Mary and the Normandie will, without much doubt. exchange, the Blue Riband more than once before their res- pective sister ships.

It is extremely unlikely that any of these four ships (two existing and two to come) will do much more than top the 32-knot mark. SANTHIA

TILAWA if that. The effort required to TALMA reach 31 knots can be taken us in- dicating, for the time being, the peak of this century-old struggle for maritime supremacy.

In ninety-seven years, the ad- vance has been steady, from the 8.19 knots of the old Britannia to the 30.00 knots of the Normandle, and the crossing has been reduced from 14 days to four." Anyone who wants to, travel to or rom America more quickly, and do the trip in two or even three days, must look to the air, and not to the sea
