ETHICS OF WET YACHTING.

A man invited three friends to
spend a week on his yacht The boat
caught fire and, although all hands es-
capped their valuable were lost. The
three guests are now suing their host
for amounts aggregating more than
$4,000 to recompense them for the
loss of clothing, pet dogs, gold cigar
cite cases and the like 1t is charged
in the complaint that the host, in vio-
lation of the law, had intoxicating
beverages aboard the yacht and that,
partatking thereof, he neglected pre-
cautions against fire.
So what was once the embodiment
of hospitality now become the basis

will be asked by many who are in
terested in yachts and gol cigarette
cases is this: 1t is chubby to complain
under such circumstances? Are there
not thousands Of persons who would
willingly risk all their clothing, POM
eranians and gold cigarette cases for
a trip on yacht wetly provisioned?
We fear 80.
If the bountiful yachtsman has to
