AWATEA’S RECORD. BRITISH PRESTIGE UPHELD. SYDNEY, Monday. The “Sun” says the Owatea clipped twenty-two minutes off the record. The log entries disclosed that the average speed for the first twenty-four hours was 22.32 knots, for the second day 22.65 knots, and from noon on Sunday until she reached Sydney Heads, 22 knots.
The “Sun,” in an editorial, says it is satisfactory to all that the prestige of British shipbuilding and navigation has been so finely upheld.
