Mormon L. Munro's new floating wonder
In steam, steel. and mahogany which he has
humorously styled the Say When. has been
built with the avowed purpose Of beating the
world. Up to date his tiny Now Then has beat
en- this continent. The Now Then can mako
twenty five miles an hour as regular gait.
The nearest approach to her Is the Atalanta.
with an ability to mako l9H milos an hour.
Across the water they have . torpedo boat
which is credited with making 81 miles an
hour. Mr.. Munro says this Is not authentic
though, and he doesn't believe It. Besides, he
is told they have to use picked coal and steam
under very favorable circumstances.
The reason he has built the Say When 10 to
see the limit OF steam possibilities In American
builders. The Say When. like the Now Then,
was built by the Herreshoffs. Besides, Mr..
Munro has read about the mysterious steam
craft that Sir William Pearce is building un-
der cover in England, and doesn't propose to
allow the honor OF having the fastest yacht in
the world taken away from him by an English
man or any one else.
The Say When is much larger than the Now
Then. She is 1873 feet over all. against tho Now
Then's 35 feet Her other dimensions are IA
