TASMAN RECORD RUN
LINE WITHOUT SUBSIDY. SYDNEY PRESS t QUERY SYDNEY, Sept. 6. The Sydney Sun says that the liner Awatea on her record run of 57 hours 33 minutes from Auckland to Sydney clipped 22 minutes off the record. The log entries disclosed an average speed during the first 24 hours of 22.32 knots and on the second day 22.65 knots, and from noon on Sunday until she reached Sydney Heads knots. The Sun, in an editorial, in complimenting the Union Company and the Awatea's captain, says it is satisfactory to all that the prestige of British shipbuilding and navigation has been so finely upheld. "If British ships can do this between Auckland and Sydney without a subsidy, what could they do with a subsidy to recover the Australian-American trade?" asks the Sun.
