There Siil be sin hands on the
trip. ali told The skipper. mate,
their respective wives. a canfor-
man and whoever speaks frst for
the remaining berth.
In that way Their. will be no
ero~ding. and the bounging space
IN the main cabin can be kept as
such.
The little weasel ls designed and
equipped to accommodate eight
persons. Incidentally, the craft 10
just three years old.
Much Food for Thought
Well. here's the dope II you think
you'd like 20 do a little South Sea
cruising IN de luxe fashion:
The lucky man cor gall who fills
that empty berth will pay less
than sTo per month for the privi-
lsge 49, which IL probably cheaper
than you can live ashore.
if you viii write q letter 10
me. we'll send you detailed In
formation about the boat. the
gang. the trip and all the rest.
And just think about the ports
OF call on that voyage Mutiny on
the Bounty made Piteairn's Island
famous. and the last We heard there
were still cannlbals in the Mar
quesss. soccorro lif We remember
srighD Is the nsmesake OF Cine
maetor Enrol F1ynn's luxurious
schooner yacht.
In case anybody might get the
idea that offers OF this sort Just
happen along every day - they
don't,
OF course. there's always the cry
that nobody can find time these
days to take the beak off the old
grlndstone.
n You think so. here's a lit
tle story: We know a very
prominent lawyer here In the
Northwest who. ever since he
WAS y little boy. wanted TO 70
Ia sea In = windjammer.
But his father made him tend
TO his studies and his chores. until
one thing led to another and the
years slipped past TO find the
youngster grown up with an uni
versity education In law.
He hung out his shingle and
was fortunate enough to attract
a considerable number OF wealthy
and influential clients. Thus he
praeticed his profession-suc success
fully-for seven years. and the flu
tnre looked bright. indeed.
Decision
The young attorney WAS taking
on substance In his city and his
pioneering was finished. He was
at the threshold OF a brilliant ca
reer-providing. of course. that he
tended to his legal knitting.
But then one, day a lofty four
masted bark lone OF the last put
into the seaport where he lived,
and our friend struck up an &C
quaintanee with the master.
The young man slept on his
thought for several days-then
hung out the ''Gone to Lunch"
sign on his office door and
shipped rs an ordinary seaman
In that fine. big windjammer.
As 1t turned out. he was a good
A. B. when he returned home more
than two years later. He was broke
and virtually a stranger in his own
home town. His business
But he'd known the sea first /
hand. and he'd seen Africa and the |
Mediterranean and the British I
Isles. and he'd doubled the Horn /
a couple OF times.
