small steamboat built for river work.
Her forward decks, both upper and
lower, have unusual space forward OF
the cabin houses. The arrangement per-
mits the owner, his guests and the crew
to receive every bit OF breeze possible
while under way.
Like river steamboats,, the Vagabondia
is just as long on deck as she Is on the
waterlne. Each is 129 feet. Although
forty-eight feet shorter than the While
away, the Vagabondia has exactly the
same beam. 1t makes her living accom-
modations unusually large for a yacht
Of her length. The charming interior
features OF this boat marks well the ar
tlstry Of her builders. The palatial din
ing salon. the staterooms and the living
rooms astonish those who step aboard
the craft for the first time. The Vaga-
bondia is driven by two $50 horsepower
gasolene engines.
The late John Hanan. who died last
year, was another well known yachts
man who turned from the conventional
steam yacht to the cruising houseboat.
Several years ago he had Morgan Bar
nov design 100 foot houseboat that
embodied several unique ideas. Being an
old yachtsman and the father of Add-
son G. Hanan. one OF the best amateur
shippers and designers in the country.
MIR. Hanan knew both what he wanted
and how to get g.
Mr.. Hanan called his craft the Edithia
Her most unusual feature is the fact
that she is on oil burner. The Edithia
is probably the only cruising houseboat
that burns oil. When the yacht was
built her owner stated that he wanted a
simple craft. No expensive trimmings
a....s
he stated that this simple little craft
cost in the neighborhood OF 100000. To-
dav the Edithia is in Florida waters. be-
ing used by the late Mr.. Hanan's family.
Payne whitney. brother OF the
owner OF the Whileaway. also is the
owner ~ a handsome cruising house
boat. The craft Is the Captiva. de-

Eight Foot Headroom.

From amidships aft on this deck are
laid out seven unusually large state
rooms and five bathrooms. The head
room in these quarters is eight feet
The furniture is of the type usually
seen in a house on shore. the side walls
being vertical, instead of on the slant
as is the case i'm staterooms of the or
dinary type of yacht. Tho decorations
and furniture of the staterooms are 'ex-
tremely simple but in excellent taste.
The side walls and overhead are painted
and the furniture also, the various
rooms being OF slightly different tints.
to harinonize with the upholstery.
Forward on the main deck Is the
dining room, n separate room. capable
OF accommodating thirty people. The
decorations are both beautiful and
dignified. The sides and ends of the
room are handsomely panelled In Italian
walnut. while the overhead has beam
castings of similar wood, between which
are plain white panels.
All the. furniture. electric light fix
lures and equipment of every Character
aboard the yacht are of a special design,
the idea being to secure absolute COM
fort and give the entire vessel more
the character OF a house ashore than
of an ordinary yacht There is an
entrance hall on the main deck which
leads directly up to the living room by
n large and comfortable stairway
This has plain Italian walnut panesllng'
as has also the main living ROOM The
smoling room and passage adjoining
are finished I'm French oak and the
treatment OF the outdoor room IS
mahogany the same being used Tor the
exterior of the deck house.
The craft is supplied with every pos
sihle convenience There are things on
board never imagined when the silver
dahabiyah was built for the late
Khedive OF Egypt There is an electric
light plant large enough to allow every
nook and corner of the crait TO be
lighted at the same time. IL also pro-
vides sufficient power for electric boat
hoists There is an ice making ma
chine. modern plumbing and heating
and ventilating system that ~ unique
II can be used either for heating the
Yacht In cool or for cooling the yacht
i'm warm weather
One great feature OF the Whileaway,
which also applies TO other power
houseboats, Is that she can be run
with half the crew needed to operate
an old fashioned steam yacht of
similar accommodations. The While
awav carried q crew of twenty-eight.
II would require at least fifty men to
operate seagoing vessel OF the usual
tyne. having equal accommodations.
This Is an important feature In these
days when paid hand wants almost as
much as a captain received before the
war.
Had II not been for the war undoubt-
edly other yachtsmen would have buiit
craft along the whileaway lines. rhe
cost of new ships has kept back byild'
ing. AS an example Of the cost OF a
modern power houseboat tale Is told
OF Philadelphia yachtsman who had
one built. considerably smaller than the
Whileaway during the summer that the
United states entered the worlds war

each stateroom has at least two such
windows, and the dining room, which is
at the forward end of the space on the
main deck, has twelve windows of this
description. These windows all are OF
the sashless variety, being solid plate
glass. operated by lifting mechanism
concealed in the woodwork
Owing TO the large size OF the win
dows the staterooms are so light that
in addition to the regular curtains on
the inside awnings have TO be provided
to keep the rooms dark in the morning
The awnings for each room are sepa-
rate and their operation controlled from
the upper deck.

homes of the very wealthy. Slowly but
surely they are taking the place of the
steam yacht and the large power yacht
designed along steam yacht lines. The
gradual change to the power houseboat
is no fad Of the moment. 1t is along
lines of natural evolution. The modern
power houseboat is far more comfort
able than a steam yacht of the same
size. Again. II can ride equally as well
on high seas. Not that one would care
to cross the ocean in modern power
houseboat during the winter, still one
could cross in safety during the sum
mer months.
As far as the crossing of the ocean
is concerned. there are very few steam
yachts in commission built for outside
work. The ocean going steam yacht is
a thing of the past. Not only is It too
costly, but the yachtsman has discovered
that one crosses the big ditch" far
more comfortably on an ocean liner than
on any steam yacht The modern
yachtsman wants only craft to use i'm
inland waters and along the coast. The
modern power houseboat fills the BILL
and, in addition, gives almost all the
comforts of a house ashore. In speed
only is it inferior to the steam yacht
or cruising motorboat.
II is practically impossible to put 4
price upon a modern power houseboat
II depends upon It's size and interior fit
tings. Certainly, they are no cheaper
than n yacht Of a similar size Probably
the most costly houseboat afloat is the
Whileaway the property of Harry Payne
Whitney. The multimllionaire. who in
his day has owned all types Of yachts,
including big sloops, schooners and
steam driven craft. prefers the While
away to any other boat that flew his
well known flag.

Steam Driven Craft.

The Whileaway is steam driven
craft. In this respect. she is decidedly
different from the majority OF the other
modern houseboats. which are almost
always driven by motor. She il III
feet inch over all and 16O feet
inches on the waterine. Her beam is
"a feet 4 inches. IL is interesting TO note
that the Viking, the property of George
F. Baker, Jr., a steam yacht jf the
regulation design, Is 1SO feet long and
has q foot beam. In other words. the
Whileaway is both shorter and wider
than the Viking. Still she Is just as
handsome. in so far as design IS con-
cerned. and far roomier than tEe out
and out steam yacht
Although actual figures are not OBJ
tainable, the average yachtsman would
say the Whileaway cost more to build
than the Viking. Again. II is n question
Of interior fittings. Both are constructed
of steel and each was built regardless
OF exense. The Whileaway IL the
newer craft, being constructed during
the war. Naturally that means that
she was built under war conditions, when
everything was high. II Is a question
IL the Whileaway could be duplicated
to-day for 5000, 900. Probably II would
cost quarter OF n million TO 100000 to
build a similar craft.
The Whlleaway was designed BY
Messrs Cox & stevens. New York
firm OF naval architects. along lines
suggested by Mr.. whitney Having had
extended experience with the conven-
tional type of steam yachts, Mr.. Whit
ney was convinced that. for coastwlse
cruising in American waters. staterooms
below deck. lighted only by air ports,
did not provide the proper comfort that
could be secured II the yacht were
properly designed TO meet the condl-
tlons.
The light and airy stateroom Of the
houseboat. together with the speed Of
the steam yacht, was the problem that
Mr.. whitney gave his architects to
solve. They did Il in most SUCCESSFUL
manner Following out Mr.. Whitney's
idea of having all the statcrooms large
and airy and lighted by the regulation
windows found IN houses on shore. the
designers arranged that the main state
rooms for the owner and his guests,
should all be on what Is ordinarily the
main deck. utilizing the space onGthe
berth deck mainly for officers and
crew.
The steel sides Of the Whileaway are
carried up directly to the upper deck
for practically the entire length OF. the
vessel. there being a small break for
ward. aft of the raised forecastle and
small amount OF deck space at the
stern OF the vessel Large plate glass
windows have been arranged through
out this portion OF the craft so that
