THEY'VE BEEF ;|;|5li|7i' E|; YEARS
By Malcolm LanbOrne, Jr.

EACH SPRING for 80 years,
IL Skipper Frank s. Miller
has turned to the pleasant
chore of fitting out his 25-foot
yawl Margaret. And he's at
the Job again as the sailboat
nears Its 55th year.
The man and his boat can
be seen almost daily at a little
marine railway that Mr.. Mil
ler built some years ago in his
back yard-which happens to
be the Potomac River-at
wellington Villa, below Alex
andria.
A retired Government en-
ploye, Skipper Miller has been
wrapped up in the water and
boats since his youth. Like
the Margaret, he has been
aflOat IN this area Tor at leaSC
half a century.
And there Is another SINH
larity between the two. They
are products of Washington.
Mr.. Miller was born in a house
in the $500 block of Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV, while the
Margaret was built in the
back yard of a resident of the
1900 block of s street NV.
The boat was taken to the
river behind a team of horses.
But the Miller boy didn't have
to be dragged there by horses.
He just walked down to the
river-where he's more or less
been ever since.
The Margaret's original

name was Priscilla. Her build
er-owner, william Henry Har-
rison Alden, had son named
John Alden. So it was quite
natural that the name of the
heroine of Longfellow's poem
was selected for the trim craft.
At that time rigged as a Sloop,
the Priscilla competed before
and after the turn of the Gen.
tury in numerous regattas
and races sponsored by the
Capital Yacht Club.
In 1921 the boat. by then
renamed and rerigged with
two masts to make her a yawl,
was purchased by the MillerS.
Each year, they have cruised
the Potomac and sometimes
the Chesapeake Bay, often
with their children. After
all the years of use, the boat
has most of her original cedar
planking and oak frames.
Is the Margaret for sale?
Mrs. Miller answered that one
by recalling that Dan Fowler,
one of the old sailing hands
at the Capital Yacht Club,
once observed that if you
could cover the boat with gold
dollars, Frank Miller still
wouldn't sell.
Skipper Miller nodded as
sent, then added with a shud-
der:
And suppose somebody
tried to convert her into a
power boat?"
