Both cylinders t jlcketedwith surper-heated steam. The Wh of stroke is 4 feet, diameter of screw lfjl. l3 i inches. The engines are handled fv-hvdraulic pressure, and can be sent from Ml speed a-head to full speed a-stern in ]ssecs. The time under the usual arrange ment is 2 min3. In case of a break-down to the main-feed/ pumps the donkey engine can be made to do the work. The engines are of nominal 400-horse power, and were built by Messrs John and James Thomson, of the Finnieston engine works, Glasgow. The surface condensation is effected by the condenser being supplied with about 800 small tubes, through which cold sea water is projected. By this means the water condensed remains perfectly fresh and does not foul the boilers as under the old plan of injecting, a stream of sea water into the condenser. Another object effected by this arrangement is the saving of fuel to the extent of one-third, a great attain ment considering the quantity of coal consumed per diem. At 10-knots speed this is estimated at about 30 tons, while at 13^ (the maximum speed) it amounts to between 38 and 40 tons. The principle of snrfaee condensation has been brought to perfection by Messrs Kandolph, Elder and Co., Glasgow. The average number of revo lutions performed by the screw is 51 per minute. The diameter of the screw is 16 feet, and its weight about 3 tons. There are two boilers, each of which weighs 44 tons The steerage apparatus is specially worthy of note. The motions of the ship's head are controlled by a tiller, which works so easily that an intelligent child can steer with safety; The tiller connects with a Brown's Patent 3team Accumulator, from which hydraulic power is obtained. Not only is the vessel steered by hydraulic pressure, but the engines are started, stopped, and reversed in the same way. The steering-room, which is placed in a convenient situation foreward of the saloon,: is handsomely fitted up with every requisite. The telegraph connecting with the engine-room is furnished with a replying appara tus, which, is a great improvement. The entire weight of the engines is about 400 tons. The engine-room and stokehole are lofty and well ventilated. The furnaces, of which there are twelve, are placed much higher in this ship than in most others —an arrangement which renders the possibility of the fires being put out by incoming water nearlyimpossible. Thereis a donkey boiler for working the steam winch, windlass, etc., Eor this purpose the main engines and boilers can also be used. A feature which is also noticeable is the immense strength of build visible in the vessel. All along the sides broad iron stringers support the immense expanse of the sides, while the 'tween deck h built of iron plates. Mr Dunlop, to whom we are indebted for the foregoing particulars, came out from Englandas chief engineer to run the vessel in the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. Mr Short takes that position in the present service, the former gentleman going as a passenger as far asgSan Francisco, where he will leave her.
