Immediately after the trial the vessel was taken to NewYork and placed in service on the line, sailing on her maidenvoyage for Southampton on October 9. There was nothingnoteworthy about the trip, the time from Sandy Hook Light-ship to the Needles being 7 days, 12 hours, and 20 minutes,with daily runs of 394 382, 409, 412, 439, 324, 399, and 319miles. Like the St. Louis, she is proving a splendid sea boat. AMERICAN ENGINEER.
