,' The! Royal Mail liner Alcantara (22,181 tons); which ..returned to Southampton recently affer five months at Belfast, ilhad grown by 10ft since last leaving the port. This was brought about by the reconstruction of her bow so-that she.might derive the maximum benefit from. her. new steam turbines, \yhich ' have replaced, the . original Diesel machinery. The additional speed gained by the conversion will enable the liner to hold her, own with the numerous fast foreign vessels engaged in the South American trade.
