Gets His Wish to Die at Sea. 
With an unconquerable desire to die at sea. 
Alexander McDowell, a veteran yachtsman, and 
remembered in that capacity as mate aboard 
Thistle, the challenger in the International cup 
race in 1887, made his last port when he left 
Glasgow aboard the California, of the Anchor 
line which reached here the other day. 
For many years the ambition of Mr. Mc¬ 
Dowell was that England or some European 
country would capture the America’s Cup. Of 
late years he had been devoting his time to 
the scientific study of yachting. Just before the 
California departed from Glasgow he went to 
the captain and asked for a berth. He was in 
ill health at the time, but argued that he was 
able to withstand the voyage. He said in event 
he was not he would be perfectly satisfied with 
the outcome. The captain consented and he 
was taken aboard as a boatswain. 
On the second day out Mr. McDowell fell 
ill. He was smiling when the ship’s . surgeon* 
was summoned. He admitted he believed he 
was mortally ill. but said it didn t matter. The 
next day it was found he was suffering with 
pneumonia. 
For two days the veteran seaman fought oft 
his malady. But on the third day death was 
the conqueror. The next morning at sunrise 
the aged seaman was buried over the rail. His 
life’s wish to be buried at sea had been grati¬ 
fied.—New York Herald.

Canvas Canoes and How to Build Them

William Rigley’s New Cruiser. 
The Gas Engine & Power Co. and Chas. L. 
Seabury are building for William Wrigley, Jr., 
a cruiser for service on Lake Geneva. She is 
designed by Chas. L. Seabury after specifica¬ 
tions by Mr. Wrigley. 
The yacht will be 70 feet over all, 13 feet 
beam and 4 feet draft. The hull is of steel. The 
deck is spacious, affording an uninterrupted 
view in all directions. 
The cabin is commodious and will contain a 
buffet and the additional regulation equipment 
for a craft of this size and service. The decks 
will be laid with white pine, and the joiner work 
through the vessel will be of mahogany. She 
will be electric lighted. 
Fler motive power will consist of two four- 
cylinder four-cycle ( 614 x 8 inches) Speedway 
engines, from 50 to 6o-horsepower each, which 
will insure the guaranteed speed of thirteen 
miles an hour. The engines will be controlled 
from the steering wheel, so that one man may 
handle the yacht, if necessary. 
The vessel will be ready for delivery in the 
early spring. She will travel from New York 
to Chicago by way of the canals and lakes, and 
then by rail to Fontana, Wis. 
There are many cruising day boats on Lake 
Geneva, but they are euipped with steam power, 
so that Ada E, which is the name of the craft, 
with its internal combustion engines, may be 
regarded as a novelty there.
