The trial trip reccntlr took place of the train ferry steamer Drottingen Victoria, .which has been bunt at the Neptune Works, Walker, of Messrs Swan, Hunter and Wigham Richardson and Go., to the order of the Royal Administration of Swedish Railways. The vessel was at sea for over twelve hours, and the trials were completely successful, everything working smoothly, and a speed of knots per hour being attained, thus exceeding the intended speed by 1 \ knots. The vessel is intended to carry trains across the Baltic Sea, and is remarkable -for the length of voyage she will accomplish. Usually train-carrying vessels only proceed short distances, but in this case the voyage takes place between Sassnitz in Germany and Trelleborg in Sweden, a distance of sixty L five nautical miles, and across a sea which at times is very rough. The length of the vessel is 370 feet and her width is about 51 ieet. She is fitted with twin screws, and triple-ex-pansion engines supplied by steam from four boilers under forced draught. The sliip is divided into a great number of watertight compartments. She is also fitted with a submarine signal installation. It is expected that the vessel will complete the journey between Trelleborg and Sassnitz in four hours.
