Second NokOmis
Is Going Over

Shortly after the United States de.
clared war ON imperial Germany, a dap
per crew Of officers and men sailed
away from Detroit in the Nokomis, ac-
knowledged the finest steam yacht on
the great lakes. The vessel was being
turned over to the government for war
service on the high seas.
II. p. Dodge, Detroit motor car manu-
facturer, was at the dock to wave fare
wen when she started. Without debate
he had turned over his magnificent yes
sci for war duty, when it was announc-
ed that boats of this variety could be
used to advantage in the patrol and con
voy service. The Nokomis cost approx
mately $250,000. She Is now on duty
somewhere in the Atlantic y
Last week Mr.. Dodge went down to
the dock to wave another farewell. A
newer and much larger and more SPLEEN
did Nokomis had been completed in
the meantime, and she, too, had been
called to the colors. Yachtsmen of all
the world expressed admiration for her
gracefulness and magnificent equipment
when she came up the st. Lawrence a
few months ago on her way from Will
mington Delaware, to Detroit. SO ad-
mirably was she adapted to the govern
ment Is needs that negotiations for TAX
ing her over were begun almost immed.
lately, despite the fact that the orig
inal Nokomis has been turned over for
service only short time before. Mr..
Dodge, however, recognized the neces-
sity for ocean tonnage as one of the
requisites of war, and again made the
sacrifice.
The new Nokomis was in his posses
sion just long enough for a month s
cruise and one fishing and hunting trip
into the northern lakes. The latter So
journ was shortened to give the govern
ment men more time to ''trim her
down" for the trip to the navy yard.
Included in the trimmings was the
removal of thousands of dollars worth
of costly furnishings not vital to the
immediate needs of the officers and
men of man o'war.
The new Nokomis is a 582-ton steam
yacht, 243 feet over all, with 35-foot
beam.
