ARB" INTACHIMAKUN

WNEW NWK 8 BAMER IN PORT...

7th fast. This morning the latest addition to the Nip pon Yulan Kaiaks fleet the Hitachi-Mor srived from Japanese ports en rosis for Loo don and Artwerp, Launched In September Just at the Mitsu Bithi Dockyard, Nagasaki, abr is now on har maiden voyzas to the. Ce cident She is commanded by the genial commander, Captain Townsend, and is a very attractive vessel, The Hitachi-Maru is 445 fi Tong, 52 ft. beam (three feet more than ships of * almilar class in the N. Y. K. Reet), 33 (2 is depth, with a tonnage of 6,716, a displacement of fo,900 ton and capacity for about 8,000 tons of cargo. Her triple-expansion engines give her a speed of 15.6 knots, with a coal consump tion on the official trials of 1.4 lb per horse power. There is accommodation for 51 first class passengers, 28 second-class, and 150 Jalermediato.

To turn to more generál details, the Hitachi mark must be described as a model passenger ship: All the first-class cablap are fitted with ventilators, electric fane, bells, and lights, and each cabin has two large portholes which can be opened in any weather, being protected by best-deck. The gangways from the cablas to the saloon are particularly light and airy, be ing lit by glass skylights which can be, opened in the hot weather. The saloon is larga and comfortable, and while cosily heated by steam pipes in cold weather can be made refreshingly the head of the ship, and numerous skylights cool by opening several large portholes facing at the side, while, large electric fans are also fitted. In the saloon is a Broadwood piano, in satinwood, and writing-tables and bookcases.

On the grand staircase leading from the deck to the saloon is a superb specimen of Japanese cut-velvet work. The picture repre- sents Mitsukuni, a famous daimyo, and at one tims Deputy-Shogun, viewing the plum blos. Bom at Mito, in Hitachi province. The decor. ativa scheme on this staircase and in the saloon is white and gold, and it very effective.

The second-class accommodation, which is situated aft, is also very good. The cabins in this part of the abip ure. four-borth, and there is a comfortable saloon and good promenade deck for the use of second-class passengers. In both classes the bathroom and lavatory accommodation is all that could be desired, being fitted in the latest style. Ample accom modation is provided for intermediate passen. gers also..
