Aboard Franklin D. Roosevelt's Yacht, Myth II, Marion, Mass, July 15-(UP)-I visited the dem- ocratic nominee for the presidency last night aboard this trim black and white 40-foot yawl at sea where Franklin Roosevelt told me "a fellow has no enemies and for gets his own troubles"
 There was genuine cheer and content aboard the sturdy little boat, craft set as gem in pie turesque Sippican harbor, where soft July moon cast dancing shadows behind waves that were little more than nipples.
 "Come aboard" the governor grinned, land see how we have lived since we started this seven- day ocean cruise last Monday"
 Everything was in perfect order. Roosevelt sat behind the pilots wheel calmly pulling on a cig- arette. He was in his shirt sleeves. His face was burned a pleasant brown by the sun and stiff ocean breezes.
 The governor, his three sons, James, Franklin and John, and George Briggs of Boston and cousin, Bobby Delano had lived the past few days in the small cabin I was invited to inspect.
 "That is my bunk" Roosevelt commented. He pointed a cig- arette holder toward small cot, the head of which rested almost against a stove upon which the meals were prepared.
 The covers on the cot were in perfect order. Directly above was a small kerosene light which cast only a meager light.
 The dinner dishes were in their place, carefully washed and dried by "the crew of the three sons. The luggage was carefully piled. Newspapers were in order. Clothes verde hidden from sight.
 Directly above the governors bunk and to the side of the dim light was the oldest sons bed a hammock affair.
 "Yes," he said. ''you see we have lived awfully good-we certainly do not have any kicks"
 Franklin, Jr, and John, the youngest of the children. were in the cabin. They took delight in showing me through, the yawl.
 Although you may not believe 1t there is plenty of room for us six here in this little cabin" John volunteered.
 But how does the governor manage to get his more than six feet on that small cot," inquired.
 "Well, he simply draws himself into a ball and forgets about it, John replied.
 While I inspected the small ship which set sail from Port Jefferson. l.. l., Monday. Franklin smoothed out his fathers bed.
 ''we have to keep things in shape yon know" he said. "This is the shippers bunk and 1t has to be just right"
 Roosevelt smiled.
 Rejoining the New York gover- nor at the steering apparatus, we chatted for several minutes.
 This cruise has been swell" he said. There Is no finer sport in the world than cruising along this beautiful New England coast"
 "You know" he declared. "there Is one ironclad rule aboard this boat that I am enforcing-that all dishes must be washed and in their places before we start the morn- ing's journey"
 Franklin and John smiled they are the official caretakers of the galley. "Righto father," they said.
 Ignthusiastic as a university freshman on vacation. Roosevelt pointed out to mo the surrounding points of interest.
 "Ineidentaiiy," he explained. "ln q few hours we will pass cabin called Gray Gables whore former President Grover Cleveland used to visit.
 "You know Mir Cleveland wal shout our only president who real. iy appreciated sailing and dab. bling about the coast"
 "And say" the governor said "wo have been eaHna swell. Jamel Is e nwoli cook and really oil have had Co do is steer the yawl hava FnINn0M 10 W0sh the Ilane.
