SOVIET' ICE-BREAKER.

The vessel's oil-fuel apparatus has also been overhauled, and additional auxiliaries have been provided. The Lenin is a Tyne-built ship, having been constructed as the St. Alexandra Nevsky in 1917 by Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth and Qt>. for the then Russian Government, so it was fitting that she should come back to the Tyne for overhauling. She has now sailed for Petrograd under Soviet
