John Arbuckle gave dinner last night
on board the Jacob A. Stamler his floating
hotel, which was anchored at the foot OF
West Twenty-frst street. The Stamler Is
not there now, for she sailed at midnight,
TO anchor of Coney Island. Her owner
expects to keep the craft of the island for
the remainder OF the summer, in further
anoe OF his philanthropio plan to keep in
the seagoing hotel business.
The dinner Mr.. Arbucke gave last night
was to the patrons Of his .eagoing hotel
OF last season. The Stamler continued
to be a hotel, although stationary one,
at the foot o. Twenty-frst street. until
few months ago. Then the ships owner
was informed by the city that he could
no longer have docking privileges at the
foot Of Twenty first street and he notified
his dodgers that they would have to find
other quarters.
The Stanler hasn't been doing much bust
ness In the phianthropic line since then.
Recently Mr.. Arbuckle decided to start the
square rigger afresh as seagoing ship,
and the dinner last night was to formally
let the public know that Mr.. Arbuckle was
still up and doing for his fellow men. Incl
dentally newspaper men were invited to
the dinner.
By the time coffee was brought on, very
good coffee Mr.. Arbuckle assured his guests,
and tho kind President Roosevelt drinks,
the Brooklyn philanthropist was ready to
explain In detail his plans for the SIAM
Ter this summer. In brief, the shin will be
anchored two or three miles OF the Dream
land pier and people in search Of sea air
can get to the ship on steam launch. Mr..
Arbuckle says women and children will be
taken aboard the Stamler every afternoon
and II the weather permits the Stamler
will weigh anchor and give them sail.
Men are not barred in the afternoon and
banks they will be supplied with fishing
tackle and dry bait and allowed to fish upon
the payment Of quartet the said quarter
to g. to the Mary and John Arbuckle farm
The boat will get back to it's anchorage
before dusk ready to take on load Of Sleep
ers, men who want to spend the night aboard.
They will get sail If the weather permits, a
good brea kfast and a good bed for one lone
dollar. They may have a salt water bath
aboard the boat without extra cost
tail last night Mr.. Arbuckle showed his
guests through the stamler Among his
other accomplishments. Mr.. Arbuckle is
something OF an inventor. If you don't
believe it. ask the crew Of the Stamler,
whichT'umtil o'clock last night consisted
Of eight Swedes, who began work yester-
It takes time to furl the sails of the Stamler
and the boats owner is a believer in time
saving devices. To reef sail also takes
time, and on the stamler Mr.. Arbuckle
figured out it would require about twelve
men. His invention lessons the number
Of the crew considerably. Mr.. Arbuckle's
invention consists Of putting the sail ropes
at once.
This invention. Mr.. Arbuckle learned
last night, did not please his crew. While
he was showing his guests about the boat
he summoned the skipper and told him to
order the crew to unfurl and reef the sail
for the benefit Of the visitors The crew
had done the same thing many times dur
ing the day and they wearied Of showing
OHoff their masters invention. When they
wsie Summoned to do it again last night
they baked.
-fhe crew refuse to work any moro to-
night reported the skipper
Throw them of the boat and get new
The skipper went below and soon loud
words were heard by the folks on deck.
Then UP came the skipper, who said he
did not think he could persuade the mutinous
crew to leave.
Among the visitors was Police Captain
DAILY Of the West Twentieth street station.
The crew soon lea ned he was a real, live
cop. even IL he did not wear a uniform.
They quieted then and few Of the eight
left the boat. The majority stuck and
promised to be good. The cutters places
were taken by other men.
