Her net register is 2639 tonvand the gross tonmge*47o6tons, andnuder .the deck 4070. She 1# registered A within A 1 at Lloyd’s, indicating that her plating Is heavier than the required specification o I Lloyd's. Her engines are almost colossal in their proportions, but they arc ■ beautifully finished, and wa la thorough and effective working order. They are on tho compound principle, direct acting, and surface condensing, with inverted cylinders. These are Clin, and 113 In. respectively, with a 4Sin, stroke, and d-iring the voyage out a speed of close on ,12f knots was averaged on a pressure of 071 b., 'Em nominal power of the engines Is equal to GOCknorses, but the indicated power reaches to a much higher figure.
