ORMOND BEACH, Fla, Jan. "a
The houseboat Victoria, on which
President elect Harding is cruising
down the Indian river, made the first
stop of her voyage at Ormond Beach
this afternoon and disembarked her
passengers for two-hour motor ride
alongt the Florida east shore boulevard.
The stop here and brief tie-up
when the Victoria tried to go through
the Ormond drawbridge were the only
incidents on the log of the houseboat
during a peaceful Sundays sailing.
Taking advantage of perfect wealth
er, she pushed ahead of her schedule
and when she tied up for the night
she was within few hours of Rock
Ledge, where the party expects to go
ashore some time tomorrow for a
golf match.

During the automobile ride, Mr..
Harding and his companions drove
into Daytona, eight miles from Urand,
and brought back Senator A. B. Cum

Daytona hotel and who will make the
remainder of the houseboat trip as q
member of the vacation party.
Under q hot sun, the president-elect
came ashore wearing white woolens
and straw hat. His visit attracted
little attention, though the Victoria
docked within stones throw of a
big tourist hotel.
Details of his vacation trip had been
kept confidential and only a few of
the guests here learned of his arrival
until after the Victoria had headed
down stream again.

Cured soon afterward and held up
the Victoria for more than an hour.
She attempted the passage at too
shallow point and stuck in the mud
in such position that the bridge
could not be closed until her little en-
gine had forced a way out, inch by
inch. Meantime. more than score
of automobiles were held UP and a
crowd of several hundred gathered on
the bridge and cheered the houseboat
when she finally extrfcated herself.
