 TAKES ID WATER
(Continued From First Page)

Clear, crisp spring weather, with a bright sun, favored the simple but colorful christening ceremonies. As the shimmering black hull started down the ways to the sea, Mrs. George Nichols, a daughter of Nor gan, crashed full quart champagne, tied up with 30 yards of red, white, and blue ribbon, against the prov of the retreating craft.
 It was the first time since prohi- bition that real champagne had been used for christening purposes at the historic Bath yard, and shipwrights who witnessed the revival of q be- loved tradition unhesitatingly pre- dicted rosy career for the Corsalr.
 Morgan's new yacht, scheduled for delivery in May, is just the sort Of craft you've always intended to have built for yourself when your ship comes in. It is a multi-millionairc' home on a keel.

 The Corsair resembles in some re- spects it's immediate predecessor, the Corsair Third, which Morgan recent lv presented to the government for the geodetic service and which is now known as the Oceangraphcr.

This room has a fire place.
