a floating city, capable of being
driven through the seas at tre
mendoea speed by her huge oil
barking engines, which have a
maximum of 100,000 borae power.
These engines require for their
operation 6,400 tons of fuel oil for
a trip. If the fuel bankers this oil
occupies before nee were filled with
gasoline It would run a flirvei
