On the main deck
forward is a sheltered promenade for second class passengers, while on
the lower deck below are dining saloons, the sofas of which may be
improvised for sleeping accommodation. At the extreme after end of the
main deck is the first class saloon, with the ladies' room forward on
the starboard side, and, there being no alley way forward, the ladies'
lavatories are provided on the starboard side of the engine casing. On
the port side are the gentlemen's lavatories, and smoking saloon and
bar. The dining saloon is aft on the lower deck, with ladies' room
forward. In the two saloons and ladies' rooms sofa berths can be
arranged to accommodate 252 passengers. The crew and petty officers
are accommodated in the forward part of the ship. As the profile
shows, the vessel is divided by transverse bulkheads into seven
watertight compartments, and there are double bottoms. She has six
large boats and several rafts.

The twin screws are revolved by separate triple expansion engines,
steam being supplied by two double-ended boilers. Each boiler is
placed fore and aft, and each has a separate uptake and funnel.
