THE FASTEST VESSEL AFLOAT.
Vesuvius, the New Dynamite Cruiser, Runs
Nearly Twenty Knots un Hour.
PriLADELPHIA, Dec. 20.--The dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius left Philadelphia Thurs
day to make a second test of her speed. She
returned yesterday afternoon.
The following is the official report made by
a government expert, and was approved by
the Messrs. Cramp and all the supervisors of
the trip:
“The Vesuvius returned to Cramp's ship
yard at 1 p. m., Dec 28 1885. from her
second trial trip. She made & run just before
dark Thursday night under very unfavora-
ea GT pn
YVESCVIUS.
ble circumstances, the wind blowing a gale
and an unusually heavy sea running. Under
these disadvantages she made a mean speed
of 10.50 knots in two runs over a two knot
course. The disadvantage of the heavy sea
was much aggravated by the shallowness of
the water on the measured course. It was
also vonceded on all hands that the water on
the measured course is much foo shallow to
give the vessel a fair chance within at least
8 half to three-quarters of a knot per hour.
“Yesterday she started to make another
run, and had gone over three-fourths of the
course in the first run at the rate of at least
Fl knots, when one of the air pumps
connecting levers broke, which necessitated
the shutting off of that engine, and the re
mainder of the run was made with the other
engine alone. Under that disadvantage her
speed over the whols course was 19.47 knots
por hour, Thereupon the trial ended.”
The Messrs. Cramp announce that they
feel in duty bound to give another test of
speed of the Vesuvius, but they will ask that
the course be chosen farther down the bay,
near the Breakwater, so that a clear way
and an ample depth of water may be had,
with every chance of the vessel to show her
very highest speed. They have no doubt
whatever that the Vesuvius will in every
way prove superior to her contract specifica
tions, and they are particularly desirous of
showing that she is the fastest vessel afloat
