Mr. Erismann is one of the younger naval architects to 
begin business on his own account. He has completed 
for the Model Committee of the New York Y. C. draw- 
ings of such famous old schooners as Vesta, Henrietta 
and Fleetwing, who in 1866 raced in mid-winter across 
the Atlantic. Tlie.se drawings were made from all the 
available data obtainable and have required a year to 
finish, and now they are to go to the model makers and 
full-rigged models will be made. It will be remembered 
that this is a gift of Mr. James Gordon Bennett, who 
owned Henrietta, and was one of the principals in the 
famous race. 
Mr. Erismann has designed a number of boats which 
are now under construction, among which is a boat for a 
speed of 23 miles an hour to be fitted with a steam tur- 
bine. This boat is the smallest of this remarkable type 
so fast displacing, for certain purposes, where speed is 
required, the reciprocating engine. 
Mr. Erismann’ s experience has been, for sO' young a 
man, long and varied, and includes all kinds of work in 
the drawing office and yards in this country and study 
abroad. We would say in conclusion, and we have had 
occasion to speak of it before, that all the work we had 
the pleasure of seeing from Mr. Erismann’s office has been 
far in advance of that generally seen, and at no very 
distant time it will compare very favorably with the work 
of the naval architects of Europe.

The “Lone Mariner'" to Round Cape Horn. — Capt. 
Adolph L. Frietsch, the “Lone Mariner,” who has sail- 
ed alone to almost every port in the world in a little 
open boat, covering nearly 50,000 miles on the high 
seas during the past few years, left Jackson this morn- 
ing for Gulfport, Miss., where he will make an effort to 
repair his boat, the Ada S., and start on a long cruise 
in Southern waters, says the Jackson, Miss., corres- 
pondent in the New Orleans Times-Democrat. 
Captain Frietsch spent the past week in Jackson tak- 
ing in the exposition. His stay in this city was the 
longest period he has spent away from the ocean for 
many years, and he is anxious to ascertain the exact 
amount of damage sustained by his little boat, which 
was beached near Gulfport during the recent storm 
along the Mississippi coast. 
During his Southern voyage. Captain Frietsch will 
touch at Central and South American points and, as 
usual, he will make the trip alone. He expects to 
round Cape Horn within three months after setting 
sail from Gulfport.

New Auxiliary Bugeye. — Mr. A. A. Blow, of North 
River, Chesapeake Bay, has commissioned the Williams- 
Whittelsey Co., Steinway, Long Island City, to build 
for him an auxiliary bugeye. It is a rather unusual 
thing for a boat of this type to be constructed in a 
Northern yard, and for that reason she will attract more 
than ordinary attention. The boat will be 70ft. long, 
14ft. breadth and 4ft. draft. The frames are of oak 
and the planking is of yellow pine. All the finish on 
deck is of mahogany. The motive power consists of 
a 50 horsepower Standard engine and a speed of over 
II miles is expected. This new boat, which will replace 
Mr. Blow’s Kosagaas, will be used for cruising on the 
Chesapeake. She will be completed and ready for de- 
livery by May i, 1906. 
A Correction.— In our description of the new schooner 
building for i\Ir. Henry A. Morss, Vice-Commodore of 
the Corinthian Y. C., of Marblehead, that appeared in 
our issue of Dec. 9, we stated that the boat’s over all 
length was 95ft. 3m. This was an error, as the boat is 
85ft. 3in. on deck. We are glad of an opportunity of 
correcting this mistake.

Anemone’s Long Voyage.- — Mr. Charles L. Tutt, a 
member of the South Coast Y. C., of San Diego, Cal., 
has purcliased through Manning’s Yacht Agency the 
fine British-built auxiliary ketch Anemone from the 
estate of the late John Murray Mitchell. Anemone left 
Erie Basin on Dec. 12, and, after adjusting compasses, 
started on her long voyage around Cape Horn to San 
Diego. She is in charge of Capt. H. Lindeberg, and it is 
expected that about four months will be consumed in 
making the voyage. The start is being made at the best 
possible lime, as she will reach southern latitudes when 
the days are longest. Anemone is one of the finest cruis- 
ing yachts afloat and she is just the vessel to make this 
trip. She was designed by Mr. A. H. Brown and built 
by Messrs. Camper & Nicholson, at Gosport, England, 
in 1899. Ffer construction is of wood and she is 112ft. 
over all, 91ft. waterline, 19ft. 5m. breadth and lift. 6in. 
draft. She is a flush deck vessel with a clipper bow and 
a graceful overhang aft. She has 15 tons of lead on her 
keel and inside there is more lead and iron ballast. Rat- 
sey & Lapthorn made her sails and she carries on davits 
a launch, a cutter, a gig and a dinghy. Messrs. Simpson 
& Strickland & Co. built her engines, which are of the 
quadruple surface-condensing type with cylinders 6in.,
