DARING VENTURE.

UNION COY’S NEW LINER. CRITIC ENTHUSES OVER DIESEI ENGINES. (Ree. October 10. 7.35 p.m.) LONDON, October 9. Mr Archibald Hurd, in the “Dail. Telegraph” says the Union Stcamshi Company’s order (cabled on Septembe 29th) for a new liner for the Vancoi ver service with Diesel engines, rcpr< sents the most daring advance over u dortaken since motor ships were disem sod. Such a huge internal combiu ition ship would, a decade ago, hav been regarded as madness. The ordc 'speaks well for the Union Company : motor engine makers’ enterprise, whie will put the motor ship’s advantage to the supreme test.
