NEW ORIENT LINE.
FIRST TRIAL CRUISE. LONDON, September 10. The Orient Steam Navigation Company's latest and finest 20,000-ton liner for the Australian service, the Orontes, wade her first trial cruise. It is claimed that the vessel's deck space equals that of any ship on any route. A feature is the unusually generous nature of the third-class accommodation. With the facilities afforded on the Orontea under the ruling rates, it is cheaper to travel than to remain at home. —Australian Press Association, United Service. [The Orontes is being built by Vict-ors-Armstrong, Ltd., at Barrow. She is a steel twin screw vessel of 20,000 tons. Her dimensions are 632 ft, bv 75ft. by 33ft.] *
