G1 the Viper this can be done, to all in- tents and purposes, instantly, and the fact that she carries four screws` to each propeller enables her to overcome the forward impetus more quickly than can be done in the case of a; i vessel with single screw prropellers. Therefore. the Viper can come to a stop as quiokly as an ordinary ves- sel, in spite of her greater forward speod.'and she can run backward at a _r~a.te estimated by Mr. Parsons at 18zkanaO-ts per hour. or rather less than half-speed. In her trial she was able to come up to expectations in the mat- ter of reversed speed. But it was found that when running backward she was unsteerablo.

HORSE:-POWER is nearly 12,000. When one reeots that by using turbines 20 per cent. in- creased efficiency is obtained from the steam, it will be seen that in the mat-, ter of available steam power the Viper possesses an immense advantage over other ships. Another factor which adds to this advantage is her extreme lightness. 4 Her tonnage is a third less than that of other de- stroyers of her dimensions.
