Tbe Morgan Steamship Line, which
la owned and operated by the Southern
Pacific Company, ia the connecting
link between New Orleans and New
York, and the fast time made by these
steatners enable the Southern Pacific
Company to handle freight over their
Sunset-Gulf route expeditiously
between tbe Paciflo Coast and Atlantic
Seaboard. The El. Sol. held the pen
nant for the fastest trip between New
York and New Orleans. There has
been considerable rivalry between Cap
tain George W. Mason, of the El Sol.,
which was built at Newport News last
year, but the El, Kio neld the record
ever since she was added to tbe fleet. On
recent trip South, however, El, Sol,
made the run from bar to bar In four
days, seven hours aud one minute, and
from her dock In New York to her
dock In Algiers tbe time was four days
fifteen hours and elxteen minutes.
This record beats that of El. Rio.
by one hour and thirty-two minutes.
El. Sol. is 890 feet long, forty-six feet
Ight lnche,beam, thirty-four feet deep
and 4224 tons register, El. Rio. is
about 200 tons greater register. The
other steamers of this line are the El
Dorado, Fl Pose, El Monte, El Norte,
Excelsler, El Mar aud El Sud. Tbe El
Hid, formerly belonging to thia line,
was sold to Brazil and converted into
an armored cruiser, being used In their
late war. ; -
