am only too anxious TO be gone. All
NV life I have loved the sea, and now
/ shall have an opportunity to enjoy IL
at very close range. The trip does not
frighten me at all. There is just enough
risk about it to make It Interesting our
boat is the cos.st little home magma
bic 1t is arranged with a place FOR
everything and with a. little managing
we will be able to keep house in it very

myself I'll live in a little cabin finish
ed in hardwood and beautifully S1lded
and decorated. Most of the time l eN-
pect to leave the deck or roof open. In
the daytime l can sit very comfortably
here and look out on the sea, and at
night / can look up at the stars. When
we strike rainy weather or high seas
my little cabin can be made as tight as
drum and can be sure Of being very
safe and dry.

| 81 have never looked forward to a cruise
with so much pleasure. Bridal couples,
| YOU KNOW always try to find some
| place where they can be alone and free
! from Interruption Of any kind. I leave
| to anybody what trip would guarantee
| SO much privacy as the one we are to

There's a good Ceal more society or

| cause I don't accept their invitation
| But I have sailed alone so often that they

I shall have plenty of time to enjoy MY
| wife's society Many a time I have
set my sail and dashed the tller and

and the WINDS carry us along at the rate
| of twenty-five miles day anyway.
