She is built of steel to the C or spar deck, with light steel deck houses throughout all the decks, and to the highest class of the British Corpora- tion registry. A double bottom ex- tends from the fore peak to the after peak bulkhead, and is arranged for carrying a reserve supply of fuel oil under the boilers. She is sub-divided into eight watertight compartments throughout the length, and has also INTERIORS oiltight fuel compartments between the boiler rooms. The machinery consists of two sets of four cylinder triple expansion en- gines with cylinders 22 x 87 x 39 x 39 x 36-inch stroke designed for 134 revo- lutions per minute maximum and a to- tal of about 4700 indicated horsepower. The boilers are of the scotch single- ended type, six in number, of 13 feet 2 inches in diameter by 11 feet long, and fitted for oil fuel with heated forced draft. The accommodations throughout have been arranged with the idea of securing the maximum comfort for the passengers and with a sufficient OF CANADA STEAMSHIP LINES’ variety to suit various tastes. On each of the decks a number of parlors with twin beds and bath room at- tached have been arranged, giving a total of 20 in all. There are also 96 two-berth rooms with toilets at- tached, and 136 ordinary two-berth rooms. All the rooms are outside rooms, with staggered upper and low- er berths, so that practically each two berth room is equivalent to two single NEW STEAMER ST. berth rooms, as each person occupies opposite ends of the room. In the original design arrangements have been made so that the number of rooms with toilets attached can be readily increased in the future with- out disturbing any of the cabin ac- commodations. There are also ample general bath room and toilet facilities on each deck. One of the principal features is the large observation and dance room situated on the A deck. This is ar- ranged with large glass windows so as to give an unobstructed view of the various scenic effects of the St. Law- rence river.
