Fuel Saving of $70,000Performance of Ship Board

Vessel WatchedWith KeenInterest by Marine Men

A voyage around the world in 197days, covering 28.500 mile?; no expendi¬tures for repairs and a saving in fuelalone of ?70,000 are the outstanding¦features of the maiden journey of theShipping Board motor nhip WilliamPenn. details of which are presentedfor the first time in The Tribune fromdata prepared by J. F. Metten, chiefengineer of the William Cramp & SonsSJiip ar.d Kngine Building Company,who ins-tiiHed the engines in the vesseland followed her operation.The performance of the Williim

Penn has been watched with unusualinterest by shipping men as an out¬standing test of the value of the Diesel,or internal combustion, engine, com¬pared witii the steam power now gen¬erally in use on ocean vessels through¬out the world.As a result of the voyage Cramp en¬

gineers predict a more rapid growth ofmotor ship tonnage. It is pointed outthat, as a result of greater economies,practically all of the motor ships invarious countries, regardless of age,are in active use, while a large propor¬tion of Cue steamships are now idle.The Diesel motor still is in process

of development and is in use chiefly onfreight vessels up to twelve knotsspeed and 12,000 tons. Experiments onraster and larger ships are in contem¬plation.

First T.arge Motor ShipThe William Penn Vi8s the distinction

nf being the first large American motor.¿hip suitable for deep-sea cargo trade.She is operated by the Barber Steam¬ship Lines for the Shipping Board andrecently returned to New York. Mr.Metten describes- her voyage as fol¬lows:"The Penn is 455 feet over nil, with

a draft oí 28 feet loaded, of 12,375 tonsdeadweight carrying capacity. She ispropelled by two Cramp-Burmeister

& Wain type six-cylinder Diesel en¬gines, having cylinders of 29«-i-Inchdiameter aid 46Ä-lnch stroke, each en¬gine directly connected to a propellerthrough shafting, the vessel beingtwin-screw. The engines arc designedto develop together 4,500 indicatedhorsepower when turning at 115 revo¬lutions per minute. There are, in addi¬tion, three auxiliary Diesel engines,enrh directly connected to 65-k. w. gen¬erators."There nre several sister hulls,

equipped with either steam turbines orreciprocating; engines, which have beenlaid up for the lnst year due to theirinability to run at a profit, while themotorsllip William Penn has been ableto show a fair return to the ownersand operator during the recent slumpin shipping. The hull of the Penn wasbuilt, by the Pusey & Jones Company,of Gloucester, N, J.. and towed to theyard of the William ("ramp & SonsCompany for the installation of theDiesel machinery, the latter companybeing United States licensees for Bur-meir»ter & Wain, of Denmark, underwhose system the machinery was con¬structed.The William Penn left New York on

September 3, 1921, stopping at Savan¬nah to complete loading. She thensailed to the Far East via Panamat'annl and Honolulu. The first stop todischarge cargo was at Yokohama. Thevessel then proceeded In succession toKobe, Shanghai, Foochow, Swatow,Hongkong and Manila. At the latternamed place unloading was completedand loading ngain commenced for thereturn voyage. Stops were madn atCebu. Philippine Islands, Surabaya,Singapore, Straights Settlements, Suez,Port Said, Marseilles, London, Rotter¬dam and Liverpool. From the latterplace the vessel sailed on March 6 forNew York in ballast, arriving on theafternoon of the 19th, after havingexperienced some very severe gales inthe North Atlantic, the wind at onetime attaining a velocity of 110 milsper hour.

Ready for Another Trin"After this long trip of nearly 30,000

miles the vessel returned to its homeport with propelling machinery in per¬fect condition, with no expendituresrequired for repairs, and ready to putto sea again after refueling."The longest non-stop run was fromSingapore to Suez, or 4,943 nauticalmiles, taking nearly eighteen days, witha mean speed of 11.48 knots."The oil consumption of main and

auxiliary engines was 13.41 tons peíday. This total consumption is lessthan one-third that required for thesister hulls having geared steam tur¬bines,the motorship in addition makingfrom one knot to one and half knot;better speed. In port, when loading oiunloading, the auxiliary engines consume for the twenty-foura about 15(gallons per day, of .48 tons, which i¡less than one-tenth that for an equivalent steamer."The best speed was made the da]before arrival in New York, which wa:

12.8 knots, with engines developinj

«1,700 indicated horsepower, thus prov-ins: that Diesel engines do not full offin power nt the finish of n Ions run,as is usual with I In« steam plant."The total time required for the

voyage, counting twenty-four hours tothe day, was 197 days. The total num.-ber of days in the various ports was

eighty-six. The time at sea was 108days.

Saved on Fuel"By being able to carry all the fuel

for the round voyage from Americanports (paying actually about $2 n bar-rein, a considerable saving was effect¬ed, due to the price of oil at the timebeing; «bout double this in Foreignpets. The total oil consumed by thePenn was 1,476 tons, On sister hulls,with steam drive, there would havebeen required 4,800 tons of fuel forthe same trip, and it would have beennecessary to have purchased nbout:>,000 tons of oil ahead. It is estimatedthat the motorship saved ¡n cost for'fuel alone about $70,000 for the voyage."

Leviathan Insured for$2,000,000 by U. S. Co.'sThe American Marine Insurance

Syndicates, which were created morethan a year ngn to provide a marketcapable oT carrying $2,500,000 risk ona single American vessel, announcedyesterday that seventy-seven membershave accepted an insurance of $1!,(I00,-000 on the Leviathan on her trip fromNew York to Newport News. Thegiant liner also is insured for $2,r>00,-000 while under repair at the Southernport. Additional insurance has beenwritten abroad.The liability which the syndicates

have assumed is the greatest ever writ¬ten in the American market for a singleship. It is said U»nt this would havebeen impossible without the formationof the syndicates.The Leviathan was scheduled to leave

Hoboken for Newport. News this morn¬ing at. high tide, between 5 and 6o'clock. Utmost precautions have beentaken for the safety of the vessel onthe voyage.

Library movement in this country feelthat the beginning of work on thenew building will stimulate subscrip¬tions. Centering at Columbia Univer¬sity, a drive t,0 obtain the necessaryamount is going on throughout thecountry. Princeton is believed to haveled the way with SI,150 collected onthe first day. Columbia aims to raise$5,000 by next Wednesday.Women's colleges are active in the

movement and a special committeeheaded by T\l iss Nolle Weathers of theclass of 1024, is working at Bnrnard.Annapolis and West 1'oint are expectedto 8id.
