This works out at 1.821b of ooal per : indicated horse-power per liour. This is nn exceptionally low average for triple expansion eneines, the'coal consumption' of. which, theoretically - 6lioulcl bo 21b of coal per indicated horeo-powcr per hour, although in euch a low average a's 21b is seldom attained. The Opibi, whose engine* develop 580 indicated horse-power, averaged 8 knots per hour on the round voyage, notwithstanding bad weather on the run to Vancouver., T)u> navfng in cowl consumption is an. important matter v/lien one takea into consideration the inflated co«t of hunkering coal.
