Ultimately, there . will he thirty-two motor ships in this particular fleet. Included in iho -same issue are details relative, to a service ol Russian-built motor ships trading lie-, tween London and Leningrad, while full particulars aro included ol Iho largest Dinscl-elci Inc vessel hitherto constructed.
