One Man In Boat
TO the Editor Of the Evening Public Lcd9cr.
Sir-FOr some years | have been en-
deavoring to discover a cure or find
some preventive to keep me from spend
ing money foOlishly. Last spring
accidentally stumbled over remedy
for the Ill in the purchase of motor
boat cruiser.
The pioneer fronticrsmen of the wild
and woolly West had their prairie
schooncrs and the down Casters always
made comfortable living ont Of tn"
earnings Of their three and four StickrrS.
The craft that cnught my eye in ono

apparently is Il breed between these
types.
She seemingly wants to take the
water, but we cannot keep her over
board very long because of repairs and
improvements the shipyard people al
Ways seeln to find necessary when every
thing appears about ripe to make tho
contemplated voyage to her home
port.
After becoming fascinated enough BY
her ilnc lines 10 buy her, though no one
else mad taken similar liking in two
years, ! decided to remodel the cabin
ahu geek structure. Here Is where the
trouble began. After many provoking
delays resulting from incrnrnt w"ath,r.

nnaily reconstructed and given IL gen

AT last the day came when she would
ps iauhchcd. Although hammcring Of
rIahES failed to reveal any weakness.
she leaked like sieve. Being pulled
Sut on the ways the shipynrd surgeons
discovered fracture of six ribs on the
pott sldc. Once more she was launched
~ high water which rose in her hull
a. ~ iast as the tide. Another INSPECTION
disclosed another batch of ribs frac-
lurcd in the starboard side. These re-
pared, for the third time she was
launched without any leakage.
