lumbia has absolutely no accommodation
below deck. She is simply a huge shell
100 feet long and about IS feet deep. Stand

deck, one can see through the hatchway

is nothing except a series of steel Orders
and braces When the races are over and

be fitted up with cabins. But even if this
is the case, all such cabin work, flooring,
etc, would be ripped out again as soon
as she was ready to enter another race.
TTrable to find room on the yacht, her
crew are, therefore, quartered aboard a
steam tender which accompanies the Co

The Old America as Capt. Hoffman
Knew Her.
So far as il is possible to find out there
is but one survivor to-day OF the original
crew that sailed across the ocean in the
Old yacht America in 1851 and returned
with the international trophy
Capt. Henry Hoffman, therefore. is the
only one who can tell US from a remiuis-
cent standpoint about the first OF those
races which have now come 10 be histori-
cal events. He was the youngest member
of the crew, being only 10 years Old. but a
smart sailor at that. for he had run away
to sea from his home in Dantzie, Prussia
four years previous. and had mis- training
before the mast.
At 6S years of age Capt. Hoffman is a
typical old salt. Keen of eye. firm OF
chin, square shouldered and so fond of The
wind and weather thar his eyes snap when
