BOSTON, May 14.-Freighted with
romance, her last cargo, the Yankton
was towed across the harbor yesterday
to the ship breakers.
Once the private yacht of British
King, once the floating palace OF the
most famous of actresses; later gun
boat of her adopted country, and more
recently a stealthy rum runner, the
rust-eaten hulk bore little resemblance
to the days when youth and beauty and
courage trod her decks.
The Yankton was built at Leith. Scot
land, in 1893, of 544 tons registry, and
christened the Penelope. Her master
was Edward VII of England. There the
young prince entertained Britain'S fair
est and braVeSt.
AS Sarah Bernhardt's, the yacht be-
came the Cleopatra. The divine Sarah
saw to that. and perhaps the craft fur
nished inspiration for her stage role of
Queen of the Nile.
When Spain and the United States
went to war the yacht entered the Gov
eminent service as the gunboat Yank-
ton.
In 1921 the Yankton was honorably
discharged from governmental services
with at least one submarine to her
credit
And then the vessel with her honor
able past became an outlaw. She was
seized as rum runner.
