Ocean Greyhounds
London, October 19. H.M.S. Inflexible, on her return trip from New York, where she went to join the British Squadron for the Hudson-Fulton celebrations, endeavoured to break the Indomitables Atlantic record. For the first portion of the journey she maintained a speed of 26 knots per hour, but the race against time had then to be _ abandoned owing to a breakdown in the engine-room largely owing to the deserting of half of the engine-room staff while the cruiser was in New York.
