The United States battleship Kearsarge ended a remarkable speed trial when it steamed Into French man's Bay, Me, after a S.000 mile trip from The Needles, England, to test Its title to being the world'! , fastest battleship It covered the distance of nearly 3,Q0 miles In nine days four, hoars and fifteen mlnntea. , FASTEST semi-barbarl- c fv- - na , blnp Leaving The July IT the Mount Desert p m., covering less than :i mio Needles at 1:25 p. m, Kearsarge arrived at rock July 26 at 12 30 the distance of slightly miles in nine days four and one qua.Ji.u- hours,, ahnn-Ui- a In time is taken Into consideration. This performance makes the Kearsarge a worthy compeer of the- Ore-gin- , which wlibsood the hardest test to which such a vet-sesubever jected on Its world famous trip of 14 000 miles from San Francisco to Sant ago. The trip of the Kearsarge has demonstrated that a .ship of its class can mairtain an average speed of over thirteen knots on a lorg voyage without Injury to Its machinery; that Its coal canying capacity Is adequate lor a trip of 4 000 miles under full speed; that In time of war ships of this class can cross the ocean and engage an enemy at once; and that the Kearsarg Is one of the most perfect ships in the world, and fully equal to any emergency, I df not krow that there is a great deal to say, said Capt. , Hemphill - - - s l NEGRO "We bad a good trip, but I can imagine circumstances under which we might better it considerably. In fact, but for a few untoward happenings we would have come acrosa under nine days. As It U, we are about four and a quarter hour over nine days. Our orders told us to go from The Needles to Mount Desert rock under natural draft. We bad fair weather most of the way, but we encountered one gale, about a fifty mile gale, and also some trouble from fog We were obliged to and Icebergs. slow down considerably on account of the latter, and one day averaged only about ten knots. We also lost a trifle of time in picking up the rock. The officers and men have all done their full duty and worked, with a will They are considerably Ured, but If they had the orders they would cheerfully steam back again. "The Kearsarge is In excellent condition, save that it Is dirty, as we took on a deck toad of coal on the superstructure deck and wa have traces of that with us. We arrived just about the time 1 anticipated, and so far as everything but Coal is could go back just as well and rapidly. We had 1,640 tons of coal when we left England, and now have 400 tons In the bunkers. This would be enough to lsst four days under economical steam. The trip at this time of the year, could be made much more rapidly If w were going from Mount Desert Rock to The Needle rather than the other way, as we encountered head winds, head currents, r and head seas." Is imsaid that it Capt, Hemphill possible to give the exact figures of the several days runs, as they must go first to the department "As a matter of fact, 1 have not the data for the exact figures as yet" he said. .
