TIE FAMOUS YACHT. ATLANTIC

THE FAMOUS YACHT, ATLANTIC.
 The schooner yacht, "Atlantic,' which
 has proved itself to be one of the staunch-
 est afioat, and capable of making a trip
 to Europe with perfect safety, lies
 anchored ill the slip at the foot of Henry street undergoing extensive alterations for the coming season. Many of Messrs Seeley's and Marshall's friends thought. when they set sail for the West Indies, that the yacht would never return, think ing she was not q seaworthy craft But
 Messrs Seeley and Marshall knew the yacht was capable of standing the sever- est trials, no matter how severe weather or gales they should encounter. Their confidence in the craft was not shaken as all the crew on board testified through the newspapers. Capt Fairchild of West port and tine steward are still in charge of the yacht and will go out with her this season. A full new crew will be en- gagged. Tine only thing to mar the pleasures Of the trip to West Indies, was
 after the yacht had got to sea, it was found that the crew were an interruptions
 set of fellows who wanted not only to
 was then to late too change, ,and they were
 endured until the return home, when all
 were immediately discharged. A friend
 of Capt Fairchild, who has known him all his life, and who has been on board several different crafts, when making of ho Lo
 tain has made to the West Indies, sug- gest to him that should he ever again be
 caught in command of another such set
 of sailors the following rules should be observed:

 3. That no sailor shall be required to do duty when it rains when the deck is wet. 4. That he shall never be requested to stand | at the wheel in summer without an umbrella over his head, or in winter without q hot water tin under his feet to stand on. 5. That no sailor shall be disturbed, or re- quired to take in or make sail, Tn his watch below and that he shall never go aloft in the night without lantern.

 | :. It shall be allowable for the men to dis l charge the captain and appoint one of their own choice in his place.
 8. Ii any master shall neglect these rules he shall pay fine of $50, to be recovered for the | forecastle lawyer and used tor his benefit. Mullins, butter cream and new laid eggs must be served out every day in such quan l titles as the sailors desire.

 his trip to the West Indies, last winter

 now being made under the supervision of
