INDOMITABLE UNIQUE "AMONG WORLD'S NAVIES Britain's 'Sea Fighter 'a_Combina- dion of Dreadnought and Lusitania. H. M. 8. Indomitable is the idol f the hour. The record which she Lus 'established for warships on her passage from Quebéc to Cowes will krobably stand for a long time. Cer- tainly it did n need the 'embel- lishments "with 'Which some" of the Papers tried to adorn it, says a Lundon letter.

' At one timeyfor four, consecutive hours she Steamed 26.4 knots. Her average from Belle Isle to Fastnet, of, ork, was 25.13 knots. The average for the whole-voyage from Quebec to Cowes was 21.4 knots, Duting the whole time she was in wireless communication with one side or the other, sending and re- ceivilg messages at a distance of 1,600" miles and establishing a re- ¢crd 'foraship borne messages.
