After set ting a course to the Bahamas, the Levin tliau was headed over to Jupiter Inlet, on the Florida coast, and speeded north in the very heart of the Gulf Stream, she averaged 27.48 knots for the day’s run, which, with the speed of the stream running under her, would reduce her actual steaming to 23.48 knots, which is what she was designed originally to do.
