inshield's Yacht Cleopatra's Barge"
,privately printed by u. b. Cpdike at
the Merrymount Press, Boston,. The
first part is MIR. Crowninshield's own
work and the reader will wish II were
much longer. He gives vivid picture
Of old time Salem u capital portrait
Of the eccentric shipmaster who de-
ternined TO crafty his own whim re-
gardless Of expense and full descrip
ton Of the building Of the ship and
OF its furnishings. He quotes extracts
from family correspondence that make
us ask for more.
The main part Of the book Is taken
up with the voyage. which was taken
in 1916 and 1877: for this the author
has had the log and the journals Of
the ship to draw from and the much
more voluminous journal OF a Cantan-
kerous cousin whom the owner took
along. He has limited to brief eXplana-
tons incidents that connect the separate
items The idea of a cruise for pleasure
alone did not satisfy practical people;
they sought for some hidden motive,
such as the rescue OF Napoleon. The
ship visited the Azores. Madeira and
various parts in the Mediterranean;
Crowninsh!eld took "A trip to Rome and
saw a good deal OF the BonapartiSts
there, Pauline and Cardinal Fesch.
In conclusion the author again be-
comes the narrator and tells OF the
death of George Crowninshield and OF
the ultimate fate OF his ship. which
was sold to kamehameha l. and
wrecked in the Pacific. He adds an
account OF the record as a privateer
Of the first American yacht the Jeffer-
son. The volume is a beautiful speci-
men OF book making: II is illustrated
with contemporary pictures. plans and
facsimiles. 1t may be had in New
York from Charles Scribner's Sons.
