Steam-yacht for the King of Burmah, 1871. The Tsekya Yeen Byan (Flying Scud) screw-steamer, 1000 tens. Las been built by Palmer's Ship-building Company, at Jarrow-on-Tyne, and has been sent direct to Rangoon by the Suez Canal. This is the first seagoing steamer built for his Majesty the King of Burmah, and is also the first steamer which has left London direct for Rangoon. She is a beautiful model, measuring 217 ft. in length by 26 ft. beam and 18 ft. depth of hold. Her engines are on the compound surface-condensing principle, of 120-horse power nominal, but capable of working up to 600-horse power effective. At her trial-trip she made a speed of thirteen knots an hour. She is calculated to consume eight tons of coal a day. She is fitted with all the latest appliances as regards comfort and ventilation for steaming on Indian waters. She takes out a valuable cargo of machinery and stores for the Burmese Government, purchased in this country by their agents, Messrs. Edmund Jones and Co. This is an instance of the enlightened policy now adopted by the King of Burmah for opening up the resources of his country, which is rich in coal, iron, and other minerals; precious stones, cotton, teak, and other commodities'.
