Forest and Stream Designing 
Competition No. IV. 
DESIGN WINNING THIRD PRIZE SUBMITTED BY A. C. MAIR. 
For a 60-Foot Cruising Laonct. 
In this launch the author has endeavored to produce 
a design combining as many good qualities as possible. 
She would be an excellent sea boat, and could be driven 
as long as one could stay on her decks. The weights 
are all low, and she would roll but little, and would 
make as high as fourteen miles under power. The cabin 
accommodations are ample for four people, the engine 
room .for a crew of three having gas pipe berths on 
each side of engine, and though we realize the disad- 
vantage of the break in the head room, caused by the 
bridge deck, still we think its advantages offset them. 
It makes it possible for the helmsman to stay on the 
bridge in all weathers, where he has a clear view of the 
entire horizon — an act almost impossible on the average 
boat of this size, where the bridge is elevated above the 
main deck, and the boat rolling to any extent. Besides, 
the deck beams amidships add greatly to the structural 
strength. 
* The head room beneath is nearly 5ft., and the door in 
the after end of main cabin making a clear passage 
fore and aft, with the advantage of keeping the main 
saloon entirely separate from the machinery space, ex- 
cludes all odors of burnt gases, engine oil, etc. — an ad- 
vantage not to be despised if one has ever cruised in 
stormy weather shut up with a gasolene engine. 
The engine room has excellent ventilation, having a 
companionway fore and aft, making a perfect circula- 
tion of air at all times. 
As drawn, there is an enclosed cockpit, though the 
deck could be carried out with brass rail, if desired; 
but a cockpit gives a feeling of security in the unsteady 
motion of a power boat. 
The cabin arrangement gives excellent accommoda- 
tion for four people for any length of time. The state 
room, if called for, to the exclusive use of the ladies. 
The toilet is between and accessible from both rooms. 
There are plenty of lockers and drawers for all needs. 
The head room is ample, being 6ft. din. The drawers 
under berths in state room are hung on a pivot on 
forward outside corner, swinging out at an angle. 
In the design we have installed a 40 horsepower 
Standard engine, though any other make could be used 
to suit individual tastes. 
The tanks are under the bridge deck on each side, 
keeping all weights as near amidships as possible. 
Davits can be carried on each side of either the for- 
ward or after trunks; also a brass rail fore and aft.

Steam Yacht Orienta Sold. — The steam yacht 
Orienta has been sold by Mr. Geo. R. Sheldon, receiver 
of the U. S. Shipbuilding Company, to the Abe Stein 
Company, of this city, acting for South American inter- 
ests, through the office of Stanley M. Seaman. Orienta 
was designed and built in 1901 by Lewis Nixon's Ship- 
yard, Elizabethport, N. J., for Mr. E. R. Ladew, New 
York Y. C, but was not accepted by reason of failing in 
speed requirement. She is of the torpedo boat type, 105ft. 
over all, 12ft. breadth, 5ft. draft, flush deck, steel construc- 
tion throughout. Owner's quarters aft consist of three 
staterooms, saloon and two bathrooms. She is fitted with 
a "Moshier" water-tube boiler, triple expansion, three 
cylinder engine, 700 horsepower, built entirely of nickle 
steel, hollow forgings from Government specifications, 
similar to those used in the U. S. torpedo boats. The en- 
gine room is supplied with the latest pumps, ash ejector, 
dynamo and storage batteries of the most approved type, 
also has a 2,000 candle-power searchlight. She is now 
fitting out at the Crescent Yard, Elizabethport, N. J., and 
will be ready for a trial trip within a few days prepara- 
tory to leaving for South America. The new owners ex- 
pect a speed approaching 20 miles.

William Fife Jr.'s New Orders.— Mr. Fife's more 
recent orders include the designing of a schooner of no 
tons which is to be built in India, the designmg and 
building of a racing cutter for Spain, and the designmg 
and building of a 22ft. cruising sloop for Mr. Robert 
Brown, of Warriston, Largs. The schooner is for Mr. 
Scovell, who took the cutter Godwit out to India. The 
boat is to be whollv built of teak, and, in this respect, 
she will be almost, if not altogether, unique. As to type, 
she is to be a fine seagoing cruiser, with great sheer and 
high freeboard. She will be nicely fitted internally, and 
as her cruising, to begin with, at any rate, is to be largely 
confined to warm climates, the greatest care has been 
taken in the designing of her to have her ventilating 
system as perfect as possible. In addition to having quite 
a goodly sized sail plan for a cruiser, she will be fitted 
with two powerful motors. — The Yachtsman.
