was owing to a defective vacuum and an un-
usual amount of slip of the screw that a better
result was not shown at the measured mile.
Taking into consideration the average speed
maintained on the coast, and the vessel other-
wise so well adapted, and also with the under-
standing that the defect mentioned in the
vacuum and propeller be remedied on the first
opportunity, I beg to recommend that the
"Egmont" be accepted as a mail steamer under
the contract. The description of the ship and
machinery, and the analysis of the runs at the
measured mile, I hereby enclose.

And remain,
Your obedient servant,
R. JOHNSON,
Mail Agent.
