passengers have been studied in every way. The saloons and state rooms will be superbly fitted, and the ventilation, lavatories, &c., have been provided on a most ample scale. The accommodation for first-class passengers, 84 in number, is arranged under a long bridge amidships and forward of the engine and boiler space, and for the passengers the bridge deck will afford a spacious promenade. The second-class, 42 in number, will have their accommodation under the poop aft, with ample promenade space on the poop deck. The first-class saloon and state rooms, ladies’ cabin, engine room, &c., are to be lighted by electricity. The upper deck is almost entirely covered by the long poop, bridge and top-gallant forecastle, only a small space or well deck being reserved between each of these for working cargo. The engines which are designed to drive the vessel at a speed of 14 knots, are of the condensing type. Each pair of engines has cylinders 30 inches and 57 inches diameter, by 36 inches stroke, and expected to indicate 1,600 horse-power collectively. Steam will be supplied by two double-ended boilers, 13 feet diameter by 18 feet 3 inches long, at a working pressure of 80lb per square inch. Both the hull and engines have been constructed by Earles’ Company, under the superintendence of the Great
Eastern Railway’s Consulting Engineer, Mr. W.G. Ramsden of Liverpool.
