A large, shelter-deck steamer, Clan Mackcnaie, built and outlined by Messrs. William Doxlord and Sons, Sunderland, to too order of the Clan Lino Steamers, Limited (Messrs. Oayzer, Irvine, and Co., -United), Glasgow, ran a successful sea. trial recent.lv. A speed of 14 knot* was attained. The vessel is 445 ft long, 53ift broad, and of 23ft moulded depth, with a deadweight capacity of 8500 tons. . __________ SUPER-HEATED STEAM. Before leaving London for Melbourne the AngloAustralian liner Port August* was fitted with a Schmidt super-heated steam installation by the North-Eastern and Marine Entrineerinjr Company, Limited, of Wallsond-on-Tyne. She is the first vessel trading to Australia to have the . patent applied. The idea is to make a trial, and in order, to represent the test Mr. S. Robinson, of the North-Easterni Marine Engineering Company, is travelling on the liner. A severe test has been j given to the plant owing to the particularly long vovage made by the steamer. The system has been successfully applied to many vessel* trading "in the Mediterranean and other short voyages. The super-heat in the Tort Augusta average* 550 degrees Fahr. at the engine stop-valve. The installation, which has proved a complete success so far, gives ' increased power to the main engines, and shows a saving of 15 per cents of bunker coaL This raving means a lot to the owners, for it increases the vessel's cargo-carrying capacity, and the tunning costs are considerably reduced. Owing to the high temperature of the super-heated steam, among other reflnemente, the piston-rod and valve Spindle glands of the engines are fitted with a unique metallio packing, mado by Copeland, of Wallsend-on-Tyne. This is a departure from the usual packing. It to castiron throughout Should the invention prove a success throughout on the Port Augusta-, a number of new vessels which are under construction in the United Kingdom for the same company will bo fitted "similarly.
