EMPRESS OF BRITAIN.
LINER'S MAIDEN VOYAGE. NEW RECORDS ESTABLISHED. (Received June 13, 5.5 p.m.) British Wireless. RUGBY, June 11. The largest liner owned by the Canadian Pacific Company, the Empress of Britain, concluded a successful maiden voyage when she arrived at Southampton yesterday from Canada. The liner set up new records for the trip. A remarkable feature of her voyage was that the same time was taken in her outward and homeward journeys. The land to land journey in each direction occupied exactly 3 days 6 hours 22 minutes and her averago speed both out and homo worked out at 23.67 knots. At no time were her engines opened out fully.
