tones of rose and gold. The floor is laid in rubber tile of cool grey and green marbleized effect. The air- ports are concealed behind sliding sash of leaded art glass with medal- lions depicting the various types of picturesque Yarmouth fishing boats The damask draperies and upholstery are in tones of crimson and gold. There are two stairways, one for- ward and one aft from the main en- trance lobby. These two stairways give access to all decks and are fin- ished in mahogany with wrought iron balustrades of simple effective design. At each deck where these stairways land, the lobbies are finished in ma- hogany and are spacious enough to provide in most cases, cosy alcoves to either side with comfortable loung- ing chairs and tables for the pas- sengers. Public Rooms Are Attractive The lounge and music room and the library and writing room are located forward on the promenade deck and are paneled in white mahogany. These spaces, which are all adjoining are luxuriously carpeted and quietly deco- rated in blue and mauve and here, in the late afternoon, the subdued tones of the ship’s orchestra lures the passenger, from the sunny promenade, for a game of bridge or tea. On the boat deck is the sun parlor, done in mahogany with floor of black and grey marbleized tile and hang- ings of cool green. Aft of this spac? is the smoking room. This room is suggestive of an early Jacobean great hall, paneled in English oak. The central area of the room is a deck and a half high, the upper part of which is in half timber and stueco. An open fireplace is located at one end of the room. Above the fireplace is a fine plaque of eaten copper, flanked by carved grotesques. One either side of the centre hall are smaller alcoves with tables and built-in settees and large comfortable sofas and arm chairs. The floor 1s of red and black tiles, the entire ef- fect being one of warm and cordial welcome. The deck veranda and tea room is located just aft of the smoking room and is decorated along the line of the “art nouveau” style. The low wainscot and trim is of very light select birch with panels above of grey with vermillion trellis effects. The reed furniture is in black and jade green with cushions of bright vari-colored plaids. The full height casement windows are draped with printed linen in harmonizing tones. During the day, light refreshments may be had here at any time, served direct from a deck pantry adjoining; and at night the Chinese rugs are removed and the maple floor, with waxed surface provides an excellent dancing area, which can be extended to the spacious sun deck just outside, on pleasant moonlight nights. All the staterooms are arranged to open on inside passageways leading directly from the various stair lob- bies and while there are public baths provided, many of the rooms have ad- joining showers and toilets. In addi- tion to these there are 10 de-luxe suites, each with its private bath room. These de luxe suites are lux- uriously appointed, comparing favor- ably with any of the recently built modern hotel rooms, with dressing tables, easy lounge chairs, chiffoniers and closets. Throughout the passengers spaces, nothing has been omitted that would tend to make the life at sea less com- fortable or complete for the traveller than if he were ashore. Main Propelling Machinery The propelling machinery consists of two complete sets of Parsons type cross compound = single’ reduction geared steam turbines designed to de- velop 7600 shaft horsepower with 157 revolutions per minute of the propellers and _ revolutions of the turbines at about 1800 per minute. The ahead turbines are capable of not less than 10 per cent excess power over the designed power at an increased number of revolutions. The total shaft horsepower for astern is 55 per cent of the total ahead power at about two-thirds of the ahead revolution. In order to maintain the correct axial adjustment of the rotor Kings- bury adjusting blocks have been fitted at the forward end of the high pres- sure and the low pressure turbines. The main thrusts are also of the Kingsbury type fitted on the for- ward end of the main gear shafts. Each set’ of the Parsons turbines as built by the Cramp company con- sists of one high pressure ahead and one low pressure ahead in_ series, Special Room with Pullman Folding Upper Berth, Toilet and Shower.
