PEELED by Steam.

While some yachtsmen are loa,h 70

such is the case Already a power yaeh.

service with most satisfactory results.
and with the present rapid improve.
ment in the design and power Of the
marine motor it is only a question o,
time when they viii be installed IN
yachts Of greater length.
A motor yacht has az least 25 per
cent more accommodation than
steam vessel Of the same dimensions.
The reasons for this are many No
boiler is necessary with a gasolene mo.
tor. and there are no coal bunkers, 'he
space generally thus occupied being
utilized for the gasolene tanks.
Then there is a saving in crew and the
space usually devoted TO the crew. for
two men can take care of the larges.
motors, and they frequently occupy a
room in the motor compartment. Again,
gasolene is more economical than coal
and there is no heat or dust nor bank
ing Of fires, which keep the yacht not
while at anchor.
The heavy oil engine is also attract
ing the attention OF yacht owners for
several reasons. chief among them be-
ing that the heavy oil IS non-combas-
.ible and non-explosiye. There Is no
danger from leaky feed pipes or tanks.
While this type of engine came from
