18, the vessel wastaken out from Portsmouth, and ran for seven hours with satisfactoryresults, considerably exceeding the contract power. But the speed wasbut 19. 12 knots, and 22 knots can never be attained, except, ofcourse, new boilers be provided, and when an expenditure of 5 or 6 percent. Of the first cost of the vessel (433, 755_l. _) would give her newboilers, it seems a pity to be content with the lesser speed, moreparticularly as the vessel is well designed and the engines efficient. [...Illustration: THE NEW BRITISH CRUISER BLAKE. ] Before dealing with the engines and their trials, it may be statedthat the vessel is of 9000 tons displacement at 25 ft. 9 in. Meandraught.
