kESTREL mn PORT
Gannett Yacht Now Owned by Gov
ernment-WilI be Armed

The gasoline yacht Kestrel II, for
merly the flagship Of the Augusta
Yacht Club but which was early in the
year offered by her owner, Commodore
Guy p. Gannett, to the United States
government, and later accepted by the
same, arrived Thursday at Augusta
in charge of Capt. Banks, from Cam
den where she had passed the winter
The trip was made for the purpose OF
securing some of the fittings of the
Yacht which had been stored in this
city, and it is understood that after
taking them on board Capt. Banks will
take the yacht around to Marblehead,
Mass, probably leaving Augusta to-
day.
The Kestrel II which came up the
river yesterday did not look much
like the trim yacht which has been a
familiar spectacle on the Kennebec
river, for although her lines have not
been changed she is no longer the
snow white beauty which so many
people admired as she passed. Instead
Of that she has been painted the same
dark gray color which is used on nav
al craft in time Of war and which
goes to a considerable extent in rem
dering her indistinguishable. The
yacht has not as yet been armed but
it is understood that when her arma
ment is put on board it will consist of
two light guns forward and one Of
larger caliber aft.

"SEEING AMERICA FIRST"
PARTY IN AUGUSTA ON
LONG TRIP BY AUTO

DIR. L. V. Harvey, with Mrs. Harvey
and their son, arrived in this city on
Thursday en- route to the White Noun
tains, their stop here being a part of
a most unusual Seeing America
First" trip which commenced a year
ago last May, the start being made
from the doctors home, just outside
Of Los Angeles, Cal. Since leaving that
state the party has covered more than
1900 miles, passing through a large
number Of the Southern and Western
states. and they are travelling purely
for educational purposes and for the
enjoyment Of the thing.
They are living, sleeping and travel
ing in a Dodge touring car of 35 horse
power onto which DR.. Harvey has had
built a body which hesdesiened. with
sleeping accommodations for three.
Under the upper deck on which they
sleep he has a complete camping out
fit neatly slowed away in a series Of
shelves, with a model kitchen, all toll
let requirements, seven SuitcaSes of
personal belongings, and even type
writer and photograph are included in
the outfit.
The most noticeable feature is the
absolute economy Of space, nothing be-
ing bulky or cumbersome, and the
entire equipment looking neat and very
efficient. The party is entirely indie
pendent of hotels they stop where
they please and when they please,
travel slowly and see all there is to
be seen in the towns where they stop
They visit schools and factories in the
large cities. and have their mail sent
ahead to points where they expect to
60, although, as the doctor stated,
they never have a set route, prefer
ring to follow the dictates Of their own
inclination.
When asked as to the effects Of this
sort of life on himself and family, the
doctor said: I'VE can't get enough to
eat. we sleep soundly at night and
feel fit for anything at all tines
He also said that he got his idea for
this sort Of travel from a band of
Gypsies that he saw when he was a
boy, and that he decided at that time
that if he ever got money enough he
would try it. He later became sue
cessful practicing physician, and is
now realizing his boyhood ambition
He added that he has found the roads
in the New England states superior to
those Of the South and West, adding
that Virginia and Missouri had tho
worst roads he has encountered
