A. representative of the company is now en route to Washington to discuss the contract with the Postal Department. The new ships will ply between San Francisco, Honolulu, Pago Pago, and Sydney, shortening the running time to eighteen and a-half days. The vessels will be fitted with turbo-electric engines, and capable of doing nineteen knots in ballast, eighteen knots fully loaded, and for maintaining fifteen knots on a cruising radius of 20,800 miles.

The conversion of the Ormonde, and the advent of the two 20,000-ton oil-burning steamers now under construction for the Orient Line, will mark a further stage in the adoption of oil for ocean mail steamers. In the interval retraining before resuming her regular place in the Australian mail service, the .Ormonde will make a series of Orient Line pleasure cruises to Norway, sailing on July 21 from the Clyde, and on August 4 and 13 and September 1 from Immingham.
