visit the new sea in his own private
yacht, since the cost of such a cruise
may vary from $4,000 to $4,000 or
$4,000, depending on the size of the
boat and the length of the cruise, for
of all costly luXuries the steam yacht
is certainly entitled to first place.
As a result has come a new and
novel development which has been
called the cooperative" yacht, by
means of which a person who neither

ed with anyone who does can make
his winter cruise to the American
Mediterranean under conditions OF
comfort and safety superior even to
those enjoyed by the owner of the
largest yacht afloat. And this, too
at only a very small fraction of the
cost. This new achievement is made
possible by several of the largest
Transatlantic steamship lines having
adopted the practice of diverting from
their regular winter service one or
more Of their largest boats to be
used for winter cruises of two weeks
to the waters of theWest Indies. The
cruises are not mad dash from point
to point, but cruises in every sense OF
the word, just as one would make
them in a yacht.
Next to visitors of this class come
the owners of small sail boats who
may elect to put in the whole winter
making various short cruises from a
fixed base. They, of course, see only
a small part Of the territory, but are
nevertheless extremely numerous,
their small white sails always dottins
