Royal Phelps Carroll's s4-footer Nava-
hoe was towed to the dock Of the Marine
Railway and Dry Dock company from
Bristol b. the tug Reliance Saturday
svening, and yesterday the handsome
yacht was hauled up. The appearance
of the Navahoe out of water was due TO
the fact that two links in the chain used
in hosting the centreboard became
jammed into the casing when the board
was placed in position about n week ago.
While on the dock hundreds of pc aple
inspected the yacht and a favored few
went aboard. Whatever there is of the
racer on the outside, there is none of it
within. Comfort. convenience aud ele-
gance mark the plan aud finish OF the
cabin.
Descending the companionway from
the deck by an easy flight of polished
mahogany stairs one steps into what
may be called the steerage, and from
which many passages and rooms open.
Att is large stateroom the full width OF
the vessel, with two single berths and a
bureau and set bowl. The finish OF the
woodwork is in dull white, and the pan
cling is in a fine grade of creton of
handsome pattern, a style which has be-
come much more OF a favorite with Eng
lish than American yachtsmen.
On the port side just forward of this
stateroom is a chart locker, with plenty
of wide and deep drawers and a roomy
shelf on top on which to spread the
mariners guides. just forward of this
Is good-sized toilet room, and next to
this Is the passageway leading forward
to the main saloon.
On the starboard side forward OF the
after staterooms, is a stateroom intended
for Mrs. Carroll's maid, and forward OF
this Is large bath room with porcelain
Dathtubs and all needed conveniences.
Next to this and with a connecting door
is Mrs. CarrolPs stateroom. II Is about
IL feet square. has a double bed. n sofa,
bureau aud set bowl, and is finished In
white and creton in most tasteful style,
From the steerage on the port side or
the boat leads the passageway to the
main saloon already spoken of. ana from
this passageway open two Ruests' state
rooms with single berths. bureaus and
set bowls in each. The sail hatch, lead
ing to the sail locker, comes down on the
starboard side OF the passageway next
the steerage.
The main saloon Is about fifteen feet
long and is the full width of the vessel.
1t has finely upholstered sofas on either
side and IL lighted by large skylight in
the deck. 1t is very handsomely finished
In white and mahogany, with plenty of
mirrors and some very tasty-Iooking
colored glass in loaded sash in o curved
closet around the place left for the
mainmast IL ever the boat is changed to
q schooner. A china aud bric.a-brac
closet 10 In one corner.
The passageway to the galley leads
from the port side of the saloon, and the
pantry Is on the port side of the passage
way. Then come staterooms for the
cook and two stewards. On the star
board side is the sailing masters state
room. The galley is quite roomy and
has . large Ice chest. Storeroolns for
wood. coal, etc., are beneath the floor.
Forward OF the galley is the officers
mess room. with folding table. Leading
from 1t are berths for the two quarter
masters and for the mate and boat
swain. Forward OF this is the forecastle,
with sixteen swinging hunks. IL is
soomy place, and shows shows that long over
otherwise be obtained. There is ample
head room both forward and aft, aud
plenty OF light and ventilation.
When the vessel goes abroad she will
have q crew OF twenty nine men, includ-
ing the sailing master, petty officers,
crew are bcrthed forward, aud five sleep
In the lazaret,e aft. With Mr.. Carroll
and his two guests there will be thirty
two people on board for the ocean voy-
Even though the interior finish is as
Aikuc aS possioies mucn more weight Is
carried than as il racing was the own
or's sole object in view, but since much
cruising was to lie done, he wished to do
IL in comfort.
All the interior work, even to the deli
cately carved frieze or the saloon, has
been done in Herreshop shops by HERES
hof workmen, and the company has
reason to feel proud of what has been
accomplished.
Early this morning the Navahoe re-
turned to Brislol.
