What is, perhaps, the first instance of a passenger liner being steered across the Atlantic by the Gyro-pilot occurred on the last eastward voyage of the President Adams, one of the fleet of the United States Shipping Board. Commander M. L. Pittman. the master of the ship, told a pressman that the President Adams had been steered right across from New York to Plymouth and thence to Cherbourg by the. apparatus, and that it had also been used in handling the vessel in the river, and met with the complete approval of the pilot. Commander Pittman was emphatic in his praise of the apparatus, which, he said, showed " more than human intelligence " in handling a ship, and was a very great help to the navigator. He showed, also, the graph of the vessel's course automatically kept by the recorder in connection with the Gyro-pilot, which fully bore out the commander's statement aa to the maintenance of the course with the minimum of " yawing."
