Out, Promises to Prove One of
Finest on Coast

SAN PEDRO, Sept. 9.-Captain Will
liam Bannings steam yacht Cam
panero, in command of Captain Thom-
as Gully was taken out on trial
cruise today. The handsome new YES
sci was bedecked with flags and made
a pretty spectacle as she steamed
down the harbor with Captain Banning
and a party aboard. =.
The new yacht started for Avalon
and will then go to Santa Barbara
and then to San Diego to go on the
ways. The Campanero is a schooner
rugged steam yacht equipped with
engines supposed to develop 15O horse
power with oil burners, and will de-
velop thirteen TO fourteen knots, ac-
cording to expectation.
The yacht is 100 feet long, 16 feet
beam and has a draft of feet. Elab-
orately fitted and comfortably and
luxuriously furnished throughout, the
boat will take its place as one of the
finest steam yachts on the coast. The
yacht was built here by William Muller
at Mormon island.
