(I.N.S. l.-CORClnulng Inelr
yachting honeymoon, Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh and his
bride shortly after 8 a. m.
today left Cape Porpoise in
their 38-foot motor cruiser
Mouette and headed east.
The honeymoon yacht" anchored
for the night, approximately a quar-
ter of a mile off Cape Porpoise,
which is 10 miles from York Harbor
between Kennebunkport and Bidde-
ford Pool.
Lindbersh was seen from the
Goat Island Light today hauling up
the anchor of the Mouette. Natives
of Cape Porpoise, who had put out
In a small boat, saw Anne In the
doorway of the cabin. The Mouette
was headed toward the Morrow sum-
n1er home at North Haven, S6 miles
up the Maine coast.
Lindbergh told Hartley Phillbrick.
owner of the dock here, that he
was having "a dandy trip" adding
"we are going to cruise east from
here"
During the night the Mouette
swung idly at anchor in the inlet
off Goat Island Light, her swaying
anchor light acting as q sentinel to
guard against a possible collision.
Seen by Villagers
The honeymooners were only
quarter of a mile off shore, and
were expected to weigh anchor in
the morning to escape the inevitable
visits of the curious villagers and
summer resorters, who obtained a
brief glimpse of the famous trans
atlantic flier when the Mouette
docked late yesterday to take on
gas.
The Lindberghs are in no hurry
to reach North Haven, however. for
the beautiful Maine coast provides
an idyllic setting for a honeymoon
cruise, with the rays Of the beam
ing sun dancing over the blue
waters against a background OF
green hills.
They have been loafing along
Long Island sound and the New
England coast, keeping just one
Anne Is Cooking
"Lindy" has nothing to do but
bill and COO, for an unidentified
skipper is aboard the Mouette,
according to Capt. Jim Anderson,
the keeper of Goat Island light.
who was the first person to sight
the craft as it entered the inlet.
Apparently the flier's wealthy
bride is doing the cooking, for
Captain Jim saw no fourth person
aboard through his powerful
glasses, and there Is hardly room
for four persons on the craft.
The lighthouse keeper became
greatly excited when, after
casual inspection OF the trim mo-
torboat, he identified two OF its
occupants as "Lindy and Anne"
He quickly called to his wife and
children so that they might get
a glimpse Of the worlds most IA
nous newlyweds.
The hale and hearty sea captain
was quite disturbed. however, be.
cause those aboard failed to
answer his salute Of three bells,
which he gives to all craft passing
Goat Island light. 1t was the
first time in his experience, he
declared later. that this breach
of maritime etiquette had been
committed by any craft passing
the lighthouse.
Nothing to Say
Colonel Lindbergh, who was the
only occupant of the Mouette visible
as the craft neared the pier, was
recognized instantly when the trim
motorboat docked to take on gas.
Weather beaten seafarers of the
NJ oh
and nattily clad summer resorters
flocked to the dock.
The Flying Colonel politely re-
fused to answer any questions.
Sorry, gentlemen, nothing to
say," was his sole reply to queries
as to where he was going, where he
had been, how he liked married life,
low and where was the happy bride
and what-not. Lindy supervised the
loading of 1875 gallons of gas aboard
the Mouette and showed off briskly
with a "Glad to have seen you" to
the disappointed spectators.
S'@ Craft Examined
The Mouette went about a quar-.
ter of a mile off shore, halfway out
to Goat Island Light, and dropped
anchor. Dusk was falling rapidly.
A party of newspapermen on
shore put out to examine the Mou-
cite under cover of darkness. They
lifted the canvas off the crafts
name plate. Underneath the canvas
was inscribed 1.-THE Mouette"
Covering up the name of the
boat is against maritime regulat tions,
and the vessel could be fired on by
the Coast Guard. the skipper would
be liable to lose his license and the
owner could be fined. hut it is con-
sidered unlikely that the Coast
Guard will take any such pro-
cedure.
"Lindy" heard the reporters mess
ing around and came on deck. con.
cealing with difficulty his anger at
the intrusion.
"Gentlemen." he said with precise
eRunciation, at is our desire to be
left alone. Please do not disturb us
again"
The newspapermen returned to
