NEW FREAK YACHT.
Ii Is Made of Aluminium and Resem-
bles n Covered Bathtub.

At the shops of the Racine wis
Boat Manufacturing company there
has just been turned out what is per-
haps the most curious racing yacht
afioat. 1t is an aluminium hull boat
that at first sight resembles 4 covered
bathtub, says the New York Times. 1t
was built to fit no class now provided
for and is without n name save that OF
freak" with which 1t was christened
by the men employed in its construc
ton.
The freak was built for William Ii.
Meyers of Milwaukee. The hull, rivets,
clamps and beams are all of alumni
ium, and wood is used only in the
cockpit cOmbing and deck floor. The
length over all is 81 feet inches, with
s feet inches beam. Its shape is diff
cult to describe, as ii can be assigned
to no class. When W. L. Collier, the
designer, was asked to build a racing
machine, he was given no specific di-
rections and worked ont 4 design diff
ferent from any be had ever seen.
The aluminium dish will carry a cen
terboard. but its sailing angle has not
been ascertained, as il will be fitted
with freak rig made from design by
Mr.. Meyers. The water line length in
racing trim is also still a matter of
doubt Being built almost entirely Of
aluminium. the machine weighs scarce
" more than half of that of an ordina
~ racing yacht OF similar dimensions.
and the freaks" performance on the
water is consequently looked forward
to with a great deal of interest among
yachtsmen. The cost OF Mr.. Meyers
queer boat is said TO have been but lit
tie more than that of the conventional
racing yacht OF similar dimensions.

General Cronje to st. Helena, was re-
Gently in New Orleans while his big
transport, the Milwaukee, was getting
ready for another trip TO South Africa

Webster tells some interesting things
about his distinguished prisoner. Il
was rather nonpiused TO know what
TO do for the old gentleman's diversion.
He and his wife would sit silent side
by side for hours, holding each others
hand, and occasionally he would read
little in the Bible, but l was anxious TO
brighten him up a bit. Luckily l hap

in their own language. The effect was
startling. They recognized the tune at
once, and Mrs. CrOnje burst suddenly
into tears, while the other woman lift

the words in Boer Dutch. Her hus-
