Capt. Joshua Slocum. Of the good, little
ship Spray talked TO an interested gath
ering at the Y. N. c. A last evening
about his noted voyage around the world
alone, made back In the COS In his
Ss-foot yawl The weather conditions kept
a number OF landlubbers Al home. but
those that chanced a voyage 90 the az
sembly room felt well repaid for their wet
rigging
The veteran mariner told his story sim
ply and modestly, with touches of rare
humor and poetic feeling that kept his
hearers well absorbed. With a little in-
PRODUCTION 10 open the early pages Of his
life as a sailor Capt Slocum took his au-
dience aboard the Spray and sailed them
over the 46,000-mile course Of his three
year voyage. He illustrated portions Of
his talk with lantern slides. many Of
which were from photographs taken by
himself during his trip.
Capt Slocum told how he started IN
1896 from New England and tracked his
way across the Atlantic 20 Gibraltar
making a magnificent voyage Of it in
light winds, which carried the Spray up
10 and by one large sailing vessel after
another. He described the hospitality
shoWeTed upon him at Gibraltar. where
he was warned against the North Afri-
can pirates and the dangers Of Red Sea
navigation, and decided To retract his
steps and try the Cape Horn route to
the Pacific.
The noted mariner described his long
lone trip across 90 Brazil with her
sails trimmed and balanced and helm
lashed," he said, the good little Spray
held her course rs though I were at the
wheel, and I never had 10 touch her ex-

the only way a man could sail around
the world alone and not lose his mind
No one could sit and steer a ship day
after day and keep sane. AS it was,
could spend my days and nights as !

doing odd jobs about the rigging, cooking
and eating, sleeping and reading"
In the Straits Of Magellan Capt Slocum
had many adventures with savage Fue-
gaus in canoes, and on one occasion pro
teCted himself from a night attack by
! sprlnkling liberal supply Of carpet
tacks about the Sprays deck, while he
slept below In the cabin, A party Of ma
tives slipped alongside and aboard, step
ped on some tacks. and fed bowling over
the rail
The skipper described his battle with a
terrific gale that struck him just after
| he had weathered the straits and cleared
the last cape and was making into the
| Pacific. In this gale Capt. Slocum was
/ forced to run under a rag Of a foresan
until he found himself in the Milky Way.
a region of terrible reefs and terrible
breakers through which he Wormed his
way in the grip Of the blast, a feat never
before accomplished by any vessel
At the conclusion of his lecture Capt
SlOcum was enthusiastically applauded
and surrounded by a circle Of admirers,
eager to clasp hands with the grizzled sea
veteran of so many adventures.
