Sketches New and Old

CHAPTER VI
140/161

This comet is new and in thorough repair and is now on her first voyage.

She is confessedly the fastest on the line.

She makes 20,000,000 miles a day, with her present facilities; but, with a picked American crew and good weather, we are confident we can get 40,000,000 out of her.

Still, we shall never push her to a dangerous speed, and we shall rigidly prohibit racing with other comets.

Passengers desiring to diverge at any point or return will be transferred to other comets.
