side a large pile-driver at the inner end of the 
channel at the mouth of the lake. 
The next morning the staysail was set and 
the run down the lake was made. Again we 
landed at an old mill dock and took the electric 
cars up to town. Stopped at the post office and 
were rewarded by the receipt of several letters. 
They were read while walking up to a restau¬ 
rant, where we took breakfast. The morning 
was spent about the town and all had a good 
time. 
The wind was blowing hard from the south¬ 
west, and a reef all around was all the boat 
wanted to carry when we got under way. Go¬ 
ing down Muskegon Lake, the sailing was 
immense, but at the mouth we had to tack again 
and it was very squally. Just as we were ready 
to come about on a port tack a puff struck us, 
and not having much headway, we smashed side¬ 
ways into a row of spiles, but we were not 
injured much, except for the loss of some paint 
and a few scratches. Crossing the channel, 
Harry and Ed. jumped ashore with a tow line 
and pulled out to the end of the pier, where 
they were taken in and once more we headed 
into open water. 
A nasty sea was running outside; not so very 
rough, but short, choppy waves that every 
minute sent the spray over the bows and made 
it uncomfortable forward. As night came on 
the forest fires lighted up the sky and it was 
an easy matter to keep the shore line in view. 
We were several miles outside of the big steam¬ 
er City of Milwaukee when she returned to 
Grand Haven in the evening. During the after¬ 
noon the Goodrich steamer Racine passed us 
within a few hundred feet. The mate recog¬ 
nized us and waved his hand as they passed. 
By this time the Grand Haven light could be 
seen every time it flashed, and later the red 
pier and range lights were made out. We kept 
off several miles, as we were enjoying the sail, 
until the lights were in range, and then came 
about on the starboard tack and ran straight 
for the harbor. The old boat fairly outdid her¬ 
self as she rolled in with the waves, with the 
wind blowing over the starboard quarter onto 
every stitch we could possibly carry. It was 
late when we entered the piers and got into 
smooth water. 
Edward Soule and Cummings, also Fay and 
Cherry decided to go uptown to their homes, 
but Herb and I stayed in the boat over night. 
We took every blanket we could find and had 
nearly a foot of bedding under us. No need 
to say that we slept well. 
Next morning the boys were down with the 
buckboard to carry up our luggage, and thus 
ended the pleasantest cruise we had ever taken, 
with best of weather and lots of fun to be talked 
about and remembered until we can go again.

Launch of Enchantress. 
The schooner yacht Enchantress, built at Law- 
ley’s for William E. Iselin, was successfully 
launched last Saturday. Mrs. Iselin christened 
the new vessel. The yacht was designed by A. 
Cary Smith & Ferris. She is 136 feet on deck, 
100 feet on the waterline, 27 feet beam, 15 feet 
draft and 4 feet 8 inches least freeboard. She 
is classed 100 Ai at Lloyds. 
The schooner is of steel, the strakes are nar¬ 
row and all laps are double riveted. The keel 
is built on the trough principle and is fitted with 
a centerboard. Great care has been taken with 
the construction to guard against the strains that 
occur in so large a vessel. Belt frames are 
fitted in a general way, one at each bulkhead, 
making a continuous deck beam and frame nine 
inches deep down to a deep floor. This con¬ 
struction, together with many pipe stanchions 
with forged ends, produces great solidity. There 
is an engine space completely inclosed to elimi¬ 
nate the possibility of fire. The vessel may be 
fitted as an auxiliary in the future. 
The deck is of selected white pine that was 
acquired two years ago. Thirty-three feet from 
the taffrail is the companion house, which is of 
steel and covered with teak. It contains large 
dead lights fore and aft and windows at the 
side. Seats outside and inside will be found 
convenient and comfortable at all times. 
The steps leading below to a vestibule are 
straight. Aft of the vestibule is a double state¬ 
room for the owner, and forward on the star¬ 
board side is the owner’s bath room, and on 
the port side a large room for guests. Still 
further forward is another bath room, with 
door opening into a fourth spacious room. There 
are other rooms, all of which are fitted in the 
handsomest manner, and perfectly lighted and 
ventilated. 
The main saloon is forward of these rooms 
and is 14 feet by 18 feet between the sofas. 
The best of light and ventilation has been se¬ 
cured for the saloon, and the fittings are thor¬ 
oughly up to date in every particular. There 
are swinging tables to seat four and eight per¬ 
sons respectively. A tile stove will heat the 
saloon when necessary, while a hot water heat¬ 
ing plant is below the cabin floor with radiators 
in every room.

Narrow Escape of Berneyo. 
The motor boat Berneyo, owned by Samuel 
W. Granbery, winner of the race to Havana, 
started from Norfolk on Dec. 7 from Cumber¬ 
land, Md., to go to Bermuda. She arrived at 
St. Georges on Dec. 15, after a most thrilling 
voyage. The small craft which is only 59 feet 
10 inches long, 54 feet 011 the waterline and 4 
feet 3 inches draft was in constant danger of 
being swamped during nearly the entire voyage. 
The crew was badly battered and one man was 
washed overboard, but was rescued. The mem¬ 
bers of the crew after a few days’ rest returned 
to New York on the steamer Bermudian and 
arrived there last Monday. 
The yacht stopped at Norfolk on Dec. 8, took 
Mr. Granbery on board and put to sea. 
Cape Henry was passed Dec. 9, the wind being 
northeast, witli moderate sea. These conditions 
continued until Saturday morning, when the 
wind hauled southwest, with frequent heavy 
squalls and a heavy sea. 
That morning Berneyo shipped a sea over the 
starboard quarter which nearly swamped the 
boat. The vessel seemed buried in the vast 
volume of water, and it was not believed she 
could free herself. Two windows were broken 
in the after cabin, the lifeboat was torn from 
its lashings and the man at the wheel was picked 
up bodily and jammed under the lifeboat, which 
fortunately did not go overboard. 
It was necessary to heave the boat to, which 
was accomplished with great difficulty. For six 
hours she remained so. Later the sea moderated 
slightly, and the engines were started, the boat 
being run before the wind. 
The boat was again hove to on Sunday, Dec. 
11, for nearly nine hours. In the afternoon the 
engines were started and kept running until 
Monday afternoon, Dec. 12. Again the seas 
compelled Captain Granberry to heave to until 
Tuesday morning. Berneyo was able to run 
only four hours all told on Tuesday. Then it 
was realized that the craft was going short of 
fuel and Captain Granberry estimated that there 
was only enough left for thirty'hours’ running. 
He decided to drop his sea anchor and stop the 
engines until more favorable weather would per¬ 
mit faster progress. All day Wednesday the 
engines were idle and Berneyo labored in the 
sea with the anchor out. 
At 10 o’clock on Wednesday night the light 
of a steamship was picked up and Captain Gran¬ 
berry made an effort to communicate in order 
to get assistance. He also desired to get his 
position, as the heavy seas had prevented obser¬ 
vations for several days. The whistles and sig¬ 
nals were of no avail, so some waste was fast¬ 
ened to a broomstick and soaked with kerosene. 
This was used as a torch. Captain Granberry 
got his position and found that he was fifty-six 
miles north half-east of Bermuda. He at once 
laid his course for St. George’s and arrived 
here at half-past six this morning. 
In the course of this perilous voyage one of
