On suggestion of friends (the word
is open to question: Paul Blenk-
iron is considering novel addi-
tion to his natty sailboat, now an
chored in San Diego waters.
Because the yacht has a habit
of ferreting out sand bars and
resting thereon, regardless of how
the sand bars may attempt to hide
themselves, the friends" urged ad-
dition of a pair of tractor treads
underneath the hull. Attached to
the auxiliary motor, the treads
could easily be put in motion and

with ease, but somehow the ages
went aStray!

caused considerable excitement 1t
