An item referred to the magazine Le Yacht reporting that the squadron torpedo boat Renaudin for the third time started with the temporarily trials with a speed of 28 miles after changing the connections between the feed pipe of the boiler and replacing the feed pumps by Worthington pumps. The turbines achieved now 560 rpm allowing a speed higher as planned. The official trials have still to be executed.
A second item referred to the same magazine reporting that the first official trial of the Renaudin (1) was a failure. The turbines achieved nor more as 500 rpm in stead of the designed 610 and in stead of 15 was the maximum pressure in the boilers no more as 13 kg. The first run was 29 in stead of 31 miles achieved, on the second run 30 and the thirds run again 29 miles. The commission decided to a fourth run along the measured mile but again was just 29 miles achieved.
