 The Shark is a trim and seawor- thy little craft and was built espe- ,;o rn hL n ai in the present expedition It is equip ped with a powerful gasoline engine, which will be used only in navigati rivers. the sails furnishing motive power on the open sea. The cabins are neat and comfortable. if small and will be lighted by electricity.
 No definite schedule for fEe voyage has been made and none will be ob- served. Honolulu is the first objec- tive point, where short stop will ba made. Then the little ceafe will set sail for the southern seas, and f is likely that many weeks will be speac in drifting aimlessly aboH. in Ghls region. Scores Of the little islands thai dot the South Pacific Will be Nfs ited and the gifted novelist W.:.l hke,H obtain much material sor strange tales of these distant and little known people.

From India the
 Shark" will proceed through the Red Sea and the Suez canal to Syria and Turkey. All the important seas and rivers of Europe will be invaded by the little boat before it attempts the passage Of the Atlantic. Arriving again in America, the tentative plans of the novelist contemplate a tour of the great lakes and the Mississippi tC New Orleans, where the Shark" vii sail off across the Gulf of Mexico fol Caracas, Venezuela. The Amazon will be investigated, and later th' party will proceed southward t( Buenos Ayres. Bleak and barren Pa tagonia vii likely furnish much ma terial for the writer's facile pen. Th perilous passage of Cape Horn vii be attempted, whence the vessel vii proceed northWard to Valparaiso Stops will be made at few othe

 Frisco and home.
 MT. London will write many storie
 and articles for a New York maga
 zine during the voyage. The greates
 interest is manifested in the projet
 by the people of San Francisco and
 is likely that thousands will take pal
 in demonstration when the Shark
 sets sail tomorrow.
