HOUSE BOAT REPLICA OF COLUMBUS 
CARAVEL. 
In trying to avoid the usual garage on a float 
style of houseboat, a Boston gentleman resorted 
to the Caravel type of 1492. The Halcyon (shown 
in accompanying picture) is 76 feet overall with 
21 feet beam, with a draft of a trifle less than 4 
feet. She is three-masted, with a lateen sail on 
the mizzen, and has figurehead fighting top and 
high quarter-deck and running the sheer well aft,, 
ship of the fifteenth century. While it is pro¬ 
posed to use the sails in favorable winds, a 6-cyl. r 
70-hp. motor has been installed so that the boat 
will not be at the mercy of calms. The interior 
arrangement provides the comfort of a house 
boat, and exceptional convenience has been found 
possible in this type boat. By carrying out the 
high quarter-deck and running the sheer well aft, 
an excellent stateroom has been provided with 
plenty of light from the large windows at the side 
and from a transom. Forward of this are two 
large staterooms for guests, each with toilet facil¬ 
ities. The large main saloon is in the center of 
the boat, under the main deck, with ample head- 
room. The galley is just ahead of this, with a 
stateroom for the captain and steward on the 
port side. The “Halcyon" is probably the only 
ship built on these lines since the fifteenth or six¬ 
teenth centuries, save for the Columbus caravels 
built for the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1892. 
PLAN BUILDING FOR YACHTMEN—GOLDEN 
GATE. 
San Francisco yachtmen are making plans for 
the erection of a building on the Panama-Pacific 
International Exposition grounds where visiting 
yachtmen can be entertained in 1915. If possi¬ 
ble, a permanent building will be erected and the 
Interclub Association is investigating this propo¬ 
sition in the belief that the erection of such a 
structure would be of great benefit to yachting 
and boating on San Francisco Bay. The Expo¬ 
sition authorities have agreed that a building of 
some kind is needed and will be provided, and a 
committee consisting of C. C. Moore, Captain 
John Barneson, T. R. Hanify and Colonel Sel¬ 
lers, all local yachtmen, had been appointed to 
look after this feature of the great fair. A yacht 
harbor has been provided on the Exposition site 
but this is but five acres in extent and all except 
power boats and auxiliaries will have to be an¬ 
chored elsewhere. Wherever this anchorage is 
located it is proposed to erect the clubhouse. 
4,000 ACRES FOR BREEDING PARK. 
A game sanctuary of about 4,000 acres, in the 
heart of the game district of Maryland, may be¬ 
come an actuality through the co-operation of the 
state Game and Fish Protective Association and 
the State Board of Forestry. The Forestry 
Board has the power to make rules for the pre¬ 
serve, and appoint game wardens, provided it 
meets their expenses and salaries. It was there¬ 
fore suggested recently to the Maryland sports¬ 
men that if they desired an efficient game pre¬ 
serve they might provide the salary of a perma¬ 
nent warden. It is reported that the suggestion 
was well received, and that preparations will soon 
be under way for the encouragement of game 
breeding in the Maryland reservation. 
There are 703 bighorns or mountain sheep in 
the National forests of Nevada.
