There is also the usual bar- ber shop fitted up probably better in the Adriatic than in other Atlan- tic ships. The photographer's dark room, which will always be available during the voyage, is another feature sure to be highly appreciated by tourists. Again, there is an inquiry office conveniently placed at which all information is obtainable by the traveler. Throughout the ship there is not NEW WHITE STAR LINER ADRIATIC, only great strength and sea-going efficiency, but greater roominess with every evidence of luxury and taste in adornment and_ fittings. The amount of headroom is unusual, and the spaciousness of the _ entrances, apartments and suites, and the width and length of the breezy promenades are a very notable feature on the new vessel. The staterooms are_ lofty, well lighted and admirably ventilated, all the arrangements having been fa- cilitated by the: great beam of the vessel and the height between the various decks. It has thus been pos- sible to provide rooms of exceptional FIRST CLASS STATEROOM OF THE ADRIATIC, size, and the accommodation for the first-class is unsurpassed and_ un- equalled on any ship. The accom- modation for second class passengers, if less elaborate is not in any degree less satisfactory than that. tor the first-class passengers, while for third- class the provision is spacious, ample and satisfactory, and represents the high-water mark of the arrangements for trans-Atlantic travel. The Adri- atic has, besides, a very large cargo- . carrying capacity, and the loading and discharging arrangements are of the latest and most efficient type. She has a well supplied Marconi house, and another notable' feature which adds to the element of safety, is the submarine signaling apparatus. In every respect the managers of the. White Star line and the builders have exerted themselves to provide a ves- 'sel which is a veritable triumph of marine architecture, and one which will certainly afford boundless satis- faction to the thousands of voyagers who will be privileged to travel by the Adriatic. The Adriatic, on her return trip from New York on May 22, pro- ceeded direct to Southampton, and the regular weekly mail and passenger service from Southampton and Cher- bourg to New York was inaugurated with the sailing of the Adriatic from Southampton on June 5. The steamer F. D. Ewen which was sunk in the Soulanges canal has been pumped out and raised by the Don- nelly, Wrecking Co.
