The Excelsior 51, Old Bailey. it having been instituted for the recreation and benefit of a number of tradesuieu who have the hali-holiday on Wednesdays. The membership is restricted to 25, and the founders are ardent sportsmen who mean to carry on the sport under rules eminently suited to the conditions under which they can pursue it. We wish this new club a long and prosperous life, and hope to hear of them making a name in inter-clnb competitions. The classes are 5, 10, and 15-tonners and a length class. Mr. Alderman Readhead, J.P., has accepted the post of president, and promised his active support. =F) DVERTISEMENTS should reach this office not later than the 21st of the month, the following issue. to secure insertion im ates on application.

THE BRUCE PRIZE DESIGNING COMPETITION. The drawings sent in for this competition em- brace a much greater variety of proportions than might have been expected under the 17380 rule; 62 THE MODEL-YACHTSMAN and this has rendered the task of Judging somewhat difficult. A good feature of the competition is that the great majority of the designs appear to have been made for practical use, not merely pretty things for the purpose of competition. A few of the designers have carried this a little too far, and while leaving the utility unimpaired, a much prettier vessel could have been got by the exercise of a little artistic care. A weak point in the majority of the designs is the bad draughting. The designers do not seem to have realized the great benefit that would accrue to thein, if they carried out all their pairing operations on paper, instead of relegating most of them to the wood. With many of the designs, so much pairing in building would be required that the drawings would cease to truly record the vessels form; and any deductions made from them might be very misleading. Other weak points are the absence of partieulars, and the large amount of guess-work that has in some instances been used when they are te given. . – Taken as a whole, however, the designs are very creditable, and show that a knowledge of designing—or at least the elementary parts of it—is very widely spread amongst Model YachtsAny short-comings appear to be due men. rather to want of practice than to ignorance of the principles. Although the conditions laid down for the competition were few, several of the competitors have not adhered to them. Three designs sent in are over 10 tons 1730 rule, one designer modestly offering a vessel 46in. x Sin. as a 10-tonner. These designs, and two others—with the names and addresses of their designers given— have been omitted. It is, however, as well to state that even if included they would not have ArpaGH FE. Lone, altered the result. 124, Albert Road, Jarrow-on-Tyne. CANOEIST overdone and a s/ight reduction might with advantage be made. An increase of } of an inch depth to the keel amidships, leaving the ends as they are, would both improve the With these stability and the appearance. trifling alterations the boat should prove a formidable competitor in good breezes, especially to windward. The drawings require a little fairing, and are in parts rather roughly finished, but the style is good. Daisy, 39-8in. x T’Gin, x 8°5in. Too much dead wood and too lean on the l.w.l. just abaft the midship section. A very rough drawing and neither dimensions nor displacement are given. Lieutenant, 58in. x 5-25in. x Llin. (Highly commended). 34 lbs. This is a fine example of an extreme 10-tonner, The longitudinal arrangement of the displacement is good, and the designer appears to have a thorough appreciation of the difficulties involved in the design of such a craft. The bow might with advantage be made a little fuller, and the keel aft somewhat more cut away, otherwise the design is an admirable one tor a vessel of these proportions. There is a discrepancy between the full sized body plan and the half sized half breadth plan, the latter giving measurements—widths—a little less than the former. The fuil sized drawing has been taken as correct, Though unfit for general use this design in the hands of a good model sailor would prove a real clipper on large sheets of water where true winds prevail, Mariborough, 37in. x 8-2in. x 8-4in, A clean lined design with a good disposition of the displacement, but the length and weight are both too small for a 1780 10-tonner unless under some special circumstances. Rather too much gripe and deadwood. Mog, 42-5in. x T-Oin, x 8-7in. Tus DEsIGns :— Black Angel, 81:3in. x 7:9in. x Bin, 21-9 Ibs. A pretty little craft well suited for narrow waters and light winds. The fineness of the bow at the waterline may prove a source of danger although partly compensated for by the great rake to the midship (Bermudian Yawl). AND section, and the rig Good working drawings. Cupid, 44in. x 6-Tin. x 9-4in, 25 lbs. (First Prize). This design is a well worked out attempt to get the advantages of a long 10-tonner with a moderate displacement. The full entrance and clean tail are both condusive to steadiness, and the craft would probably prove a fairly easy vessel to handle. The fullness of the extreme fore-end of the entrance is however somewhat A very rough drawing which would require so much fairing as to radically alter the design. Suaviter, 40in. x T5in. x 9-lin. 25:5 Ibs. (2nd Prize). A good specimen of a 10-tonner of moderate dimensions and displacement. The body plan is pleasing, showing easy sections, and the waterlines are clean and true. Considering that the C. B. is nearly 4 an inch abaft the middle, the sheer plan shows rather too square a keel. Above water the design is much disfigured by a very ugly counter, for the ugliness of which there is no apparent object. Taken as a whole the design would make a good model for general sailing. The drawings MODEL-YACHTSMAN are fairly executed and a good taste of elements is given. Q.#.D., 39-din. x 7’75in. x 8-75in. 21 lbs. A fairly good type of boat for small sheets of water. After body rather too full below water, and the aft end of the lw.l.is lumpy. The drawing is not finished, and is a rough specimen of draughting. Vesper, 40in. x 6°3in. x 11-4in. 34 lbs. Another good specimen of a narrow ‘‘ 10,” but with so much draught an easier section might have been adopted. As the design stands it has the appearance of having an inch or so of keel added to a design originally intended for a lighter draught. Would prove a good vessel to windward in a breeze. “X,” ddin, x 8-87in, x Bin. 18°6 lbs. A pretty design of the “ Nyleptha”’ type but more cut away forward. Too short and light for a 1730 10-tonner, but would make a good 10-rater. It is questionable if 14 lbs. lead could be got with 18-6 lbs. displacement. The drawings are neatly finished. WINNERS: The designer of Cupid (1st Prize) is Mr. ALBERT Srraney, Overbeck, Scarborough. The designer of Swaviter (2nd Prize) is Mr. J. H. Norrer, 27, Withington Road, Whalley Range, Manchester. The designer of Lieutenant (Highly commended) is Mr. F. H. Auuxanpur, Newtown School, Waterford. —0—- MEASUREMENT. THE Epitor, The Model- Vachtsman. Dear S1r,—With the view of giving some effect to the hope expressed by ‘‘Palinurus” in his letter in your last number, that some one would test the rule which he gives, as followed in France, in the measurement of yachts, [ have tried to work the formula given, and to compare results yachts. with the known CANOEIST 63 on the length of a chain “passed under the keel, and brought up to the sides where the beam is greatest’’—-the ends beiag, presumably, fixed at the load-water line. As in connection with this, the word ‘perimeter’ is used, the idea is suggested that what is aimed at is to find the area enclosed by the chain when so suspended, as it would form a parabolic curve embracing an area equal to two thirds of a paralellogram, having the breadth of the vessel for one dimension, and its depth from the water-line to the sole of the keel for the other. This area of the parabola, multiplied by 2, and the product by the length of the load water line, minus half of the breadth—the whole being divided by 5°5, gives a result approximating closely to the displacement, in cubic feet, of a very sharp yacht. But, applyimg it to another vessel of the same length, but of greater breadth and depth, and consequently of displacement, the multiplier 2 is found to be insufficient and has to be increased to 3 or more. It is therefore supposed that the figures 2-4 placed as above indicate that the number to be employed may be varied as between these two figures, inclusive. —o— PRIZE AND dimensions of have not been so satisfactory as could be wished, owing to my failure in properly understanding the meaning of the figures 2-4, standing one above the other immediately after P., in the formula. I have asked jthe opinion of a professional mathematician about these figures, and he thinks that they are either a mis-print or that they may be interpretated as I have rule, where the yacht is, .as ‘*‘Palinurus” says, that the calculations for the tonnage (or displacement) of a vessel are founded or other vessel is afloat, and no other means available of getting an account of her bottom; but, it will be observed that the only thing to which an approximation is made, is the area of the midship section, and and this, alone, cannot give an index to the displacement under any fixed power either of multiplication or division; and even how a variable factor can be applied with correctness when the degree of taper or contraction of the two ends of the ship is unascertainable— supposing them to be under water—I am at a loss to conceive. I should be glad to hear of the true solution of the problem. Yours truly, J. M. —o— LIVERPOOL AND SOUTHPORT MODEL YACHT CLUBS some I regret, however, that these results done; which is in this manner. The chief peculiarity of the The expedient, in the way of measurement, described, would seem to be resorted to in cases CHALLENGE CUP, 20-RATING Y.R.A. The third race for the above cup took place on the Marine Lake, Southport, on Thursday, 19th March. There was a fresh N. E. E. breeze which rendered the course a close reach, but some of the boats not liking the nose-ender made slow work of getting between the flags. In the unavoidable absence of Mr. T. B. Sill, Commodore of the L. M. Y.C., Mr. E. GC. Hicks, Hon. Secretary of the Challenge Cup Committee, officiated as Judge.

In the first heat ‘Daisy’ made good weather and came in the winner, doing the distance in -two boards; the second heat was won easily by ‘Aziola,’ winning well from ‘Elaine’. The third heat was very interesting as it lay between two boats that have been specially built to race for the cup, but ‘Mystery’ so far has failed to score. ‘Puss,’ built during the winter, is a fine powerful eraft and in a breeze is likely to do well, and she showed what she can do by easily beating ‘Mystery,’ although the latter is said to be designed by one who prides himself to be one of the first model yacht designers of the kingdom, but whose general failing is to hug the wind too The race between ‘Advance’ (the closely. holder of cup) and ‘Windermere’ created great excitement, as should ‘Advance’ win again the trophy would be virtually lost, as it only requires three times winning to take the cup, and ‘Advance’ had already done it twice, so great interest was centred in this heat, and everyone breathed freer when ‘Windermere’ came in the victress. The 5th heat was won in fine style by ‘Lezare,, which did the course in one board, easily beating ‘Bobbie Burns’ (Bermudian Yaw)). It is however only justice to say that the yawl was not doing her best and that allowance must be made for the better sailing of the cutter. In the second course of heats the winners were respectively :—‘Aziola,’ ‘Puss’ and ‘Lezare’; and for the final they sailed off in the above order, and ‘Lezare’ again showed her weatherly qualities by making the course in one reach, thus winning the cup for the Ist time and 1st | | Doings of the Whibs.

Ferraby presided very ably during the election of officers for 1891. The Commodore moved the adoption of the balance sheet, and also reviewed the work of the past year, both being very pleasant tasks ; the money already received and some that is expressed at the absence of the Commodore (My.

Mr. Bruce had the prize, ‘Puss’ and ‘Aziola’ taking 2nd and 3rd prizes in the order named. The victory of ‘Lezare’ was very popular, Mr. Gaskell, Rear-Commodore L. M. Y.

Alst, Mr. Cooper in the chair. The usual routine of business was transacted, and all the Officers re-elected for the present year. The Hon. Sec. and Treasurer made his usual pleasantly monotonous statement of continued progress: more cash: more matches: and a bigger surplus than ever. During 1890 thirty matches were sailed, the value of the prizes exceeding asmany pounds ; and but for the early setting-in of winter the number of matches would have been increased by at least six: the annual Christmas match having to be abandoned. The coming season will be a busy one, and the umpires will certainly not lack exercise. We have to regret the loss of an old member, Mr. Reynolds, whose burly form and hearty voice was well known to many London model yachtsmen. A constant attendant at every match, ever with a cheery word of encouragemenst for the less fortunate competitors, he will be greatly missed by clubmen. Since our last report we have had very little sailing, ice, alternating with rain and fog, effectually stopping the sport; however, this state of affairs must cease sometime, and thus we look forward hopefully to a return of our usual genial English | > weather. —_—O— Kingstown (Ireland) M. Y. C.The race for a ‘* Manual of Yacht and Boat sailing” presented to the Club by its Author, Dixon Kemp, (one of the Vice-Presidents), took place on Saturday, October i1th, in a N.

Srr,—I am sorry you should favour such a class of models as 15-tons, being so many reasons why they should not be encouraged. In most cases they take away all enjoyment in sailing. At Clapham Common they have proved almost a failure, for this reason—the water area is not sufficient for the room they require. Members sailing are obliged to undergo all sorts of discomfort in managing a race. The labour and annoyance they have to put up with spoils the sport. I may also in justice accuse them of the monopoly of the pond, they interfere much with the amusement of smaller craft, and, sir, what comparison can there be when boats of the 1§-ton class are sailed on water 90 yards long by 50. They in consequence become a nuisance to the majority who sail on the pond. That almost extinct but old established club, viz., the Clapham M. Y. C., and the Corinthian Club, have by various ways and means tried to adapt the long pond by help of Boards of Works and County Councils, to a fit state, but they have not succeeded up to date. What pleasure is there in sailing under these circumstances, your boat grounds out of your reach, and usually spends its time in fouling, aground almost as soon as started, and causing your pleasure to become a labour!

THE coming season promises in many ways to eclipse the past. One step in this direction is the starting of a new weekly paper devoted to Yachting exclusively, and with all the supporters of the sport which England contains, it certainly deserves to meet the expectations of its enterprising founder, Mr. EH.

In yacht racing during the present season there appears a good chance of exciting work, though the first-class does not promise well, it being likely the Thistle will not be out ; however, ifa rumour which is going the rounds of the clubs is true, namely, that Volunteer has been bought for first-ciass English racing, it is hardly likely that the sporting owner of the Thistle will not have a try to pay off old scores against her, /verna is preparing for the fray, and it is certain that Valkyrie and Yarana will be out, the former having had a few alterations.

Her section though of about the same area is less rounded in the bilge, the keel on which she is built is about 84 tons. Besides these three new boats there are three last year’s racers, Deerhound, Creole and White Slave, (aow altered to cutter rigs, which alteration should certainly make her a formidable boat in reasonable weather). Castenef may also come out if a purchaser comes forward, it is however to be hoped that the class willkeep together and race all round the regattas. The whole fleet may be expected at the early regattas on the Thames. The 20’s will only be re-inforced by two boats, one a Fife very similar to Dragon and an Irish craft 50 ft. on the lw.l.

Tansley) is the owner of the cutter ‘Rapid,’ once a noted yacht on the Humber, and still hard to beat. When at Hull she won several cups and prizes. She is at present rigged as a yawl, and is engaged as a Pilot Cutter from Lowestoft. The little yacht of the late Prince Imperial has been re-fitted for President Carnot’s youngest son. It lay without rigging in a corner of one of the courts at Paris. The Curator of the Palace seeing it there had it caulked, painted, re-fitted, and launched on the carp pond. The name of ‘** Louis,’ which it used to bear, has been effaced, and it has been re-christened Francois. There ig room for two persons in the little craft. is similar to Eacore and Woodcock, in fact a typical Fife design in all the new boats mentioned the length on |.w.l. is on the increase as com- pared with the last year’s craft, while beam is slightly giving way to more depth in many cases.

The ‘Aline’ had the lead at first, designed by Watson for Messrs. Allan owners of the famous Doris. This craft is being built by Adams, and above water will be very like Decima, having the same kind of bow and 10 ft. of counter. She is very beamy and wiil only draw 5 ft. of water c.b. up. Another Watson “10” lies next to her, the Phantom, and the differences between the types are very perceptible, and afford a good deal of instruction in the hands of the Messrs, Allan. The centreboard will have areal good trial and the new Dorzs may follow the example of her predecessor in getting to the top of the class, but from the American 40 ft. class results I should much doubt it. The other 10is a Fife, and in model OF and Wales and Duke of Connaught did not hesitate classes might be mentioned as affected by the law, such as Afzranda schooner and the crack five tonners De/vin and Shona.

Doris and her skipper had come over by the G. E. R. steamer leaving Harwich on Saturday night, and on Sunday evening the Hull contingent arrived. About noon the following day the four boats got under way up the river Maas bound for Dordrecht. There was lots of wind but well abeam. We made good weather and reached Port about three o’clock in the afternoon, the distance run being about 20 Kilometres. My readers will excuse my using this form of measurement but the distances have been taken off the Dutch maps, suffice ts to say that a Kilometre is about 1100 yards English, Talking of maps,the Dutch are,like the Germans, excellent map makers, and the most perfect pocket maps showing all the waterways may be obtained from Hugo Suringar, of Leeuwarden, price 2/6 each. ‘The maps are convenient in size, and are published for each of the many provinces into which Holland is divided. I suggest ta the Editor THE MODEL-YACHTSMAN AND CANOEIST. 77 that he should publish a list of the maps sold by | the attraction of Gouda with its magnificent church Suringar. It is «nly necessary to send him a they post office order for those required, and always arrive safely in a day or two. On reaching Dort we amused ourselves sailing about on the broad river, and eventually brought up for the night in a pretty little creek situated opposite the town on the other side of the river. The following day, July 23, we left Dort about 11 a.m. and returned down the Maas as far as its junction with the [jssel. The wind was S.W. and as our course after passing the mouth of the Lek was westerly we had a long beat for some four or five miles till we reached the mouth of the [jssel. The latter bears away to the northward, so that once in the river we glided along with booms squared off, past pleasant little homesteads where the children rushed out to see us pass, overhauling ponderous schuyts with their quaint, old-world satis and bluff bows, and onward to Gouda, which was our destination for the night. On nearing Gouda we were overtaken by a ushered in by a_ violent sharp thunderstorm windsquall, Some of my friends got very wet, as the oilies were snugly stowed away forrard, and one of the fleet nearly turned turtle during the squall. We reached the lock gates at Gouda communicating with the Canals, in a perfect deluge of rain. Fortunately in Holland showers though of frequent occurrence are of short duration, and ten minutes later the sun breaks again through the glorious blue sky, (and nowhere in the world are such wonderful blue skies to be seen as in Holland) with its white cumulous clouds, fleods everything around with light, and all goes merry as a marriage bell. We were admitted into the big lock in company with several schuyts, and here the skipper of the Doris was commissioned to go ashore and go through all the necessary formalities for admission into the canals. We were assessed in the aggregate at three tons, and a payment of 30 cents (sixpence) franked us through the canal as far as the old Rhine. After making our way through intricate channels we eventually found a resting place for the night outside the town, and within a narrow creek leading up toa mill. Soon the tents were up and the merry kettle gaily singing, but a sad thing occurred. Our friend, the Editor, who has a delicate digestion was found to be entirely “ off his feed.” Even Doris’ refined and high class cooking would not induce him to make a good dinner. I may say that the Editor’s digestion was a source of much anxiety to me during the remainder of the cruise, and led to my adopting for his benefit a higher standard of cooking. The distance run that day was 34 Kilometres. ‘The following morning we made a late start, as and quaint streets, and the innumerable requirements of canoeists at the beginning of a cruise, kept us busy. However, noon saw us again under way, and as the wind had gone round N.W. we had a peg to windward up the narrow canal known as Gouwe, Our intention was tu work up the Gouwe as far as its junction with the old Rhine at Alphen, and then to follow that river to Leyden. Turning to windward up a narrow channel is however slow and tedious work, and it was quite four p.m. before we found ourselves on the old Rhine. The scenery along the banks of the river is very picturesque and strongly resembles the Thames about Twickenham or Richmond. On either side are private houses with gardens leading down to the waters edge, alongside of which are moored private schuyt yachts resplendent with polished iron and brass work. These little vessels are models in miniature of the large schuyts to be seen on all the Dutch waters, and they are kept up in a very handsome style. It was now getting late and finding that Leyden was still some five miles to windward we decided after a careful inspection of the map to takea lateral canal leading up to a lake called Brassem Meer, and abandon our intention of putting in at Leyden. Once through the little lock we bore away to the eastward and made a quick passage with wind on the quarter as faras Brassem Meer, and skirting the west side of the lake brought up for the night at a little village called Roelof Arendsveen. Distance this day about 25 Kilometres. The little village at which we camped is quite out of the run of the ordinary tourist, and amused us amazingly. The principal and only occupation of its inhabitants appears to be the cultivation of gerkins and kidney beans. The main street of the village is bounded on one side by a narrow canal, on the opposite side of which are the private residences of the inhabitants. Each house, which stands in its own garden, is veritably its owner’s castle as it is approached by a swingbridge pivoted on the garden side. Anyone desiring to cross over picks up a boat hook which is chained to the ground on the street side opposite each house, and with this he pulls the swingbridge over. When I say that the canal is about ro feet wide only, it will be seen that this is not a big operation. The same delightful cleanliness, regularity and order which characterises Holland generally is to be found in this quaint little corner, and I strongly recommend anyone journeying through South Holland to visit it. The following morning it, was blowing very fresh and there was quite a sea running on Brassem Meer. 98 THE MODEL-YACHTSMAN The extent of this magnificent sheet of water may be appreciated by those acquainted with the Norfolk broads, when J say that it appears to be about three times the size of Hickling Broad. We crossed the Meer with reefed canvas to the N. E. corner and found ourselves in the canal which skirts the whole western side of the once famous Haarlem Meer. Some of the pumping stations by which the Meeris now kept in the condition of dry land are situated along the canal and form very imposing structures. We reached Haarlem about four p.m., and as the canal runs through the town, and there are a number of bridges, we found it advisable to lower our masts and scull the boats through. In canoeing in Holland it is very desirable that the mainmast should be capable cf being lowered easily and quickly. The mizen of course can be lifted out, and if the mizensail be arranged to brail up to the mast, it will be found a great convenience. Although many of the bridges will allow of a canoe passing with mizen set there are many which are too low. Any canoe which is too big ty paddle should have a crutch fitted astern on the starboard side -by means of which the boat can be propelled by back sculling, the advantage of this mode of propulsion being that the skipper faces forward and can see where he is going to. The art, such as itis, of back sculling is quickly learnt, and where there is a good deal of traffic it is very useful, After passing through the town we brought up for the night in a little dyke on the left hand side just below the Railway Bridge. It is not safe to bring up for the night in the canal itself as there is a good deal of navigation going on at all times. The dyke in which we moored led up to the Amsterdam gate, one of the old fortified city gates, so familiar in continental towns. The gate and the mill close by form a land mark all over the city, and enables one to get back without difficulty after a ramble through the streets. Distance run about 25 Kilometres. We had hardly commenced setting our tent when a heavy thunderstorm broke. It had been brewing for some time, and when once startled lasted about two hours. Fortunately it assisted in flushing the dyke in which we were lying. We spent the following morning in Haarlem, the editor sketching the water gate and breakfasting afterwards with Doris in a typical Dutch tavern where we were regaled on eggs and coffee, and cheese sandwiches, and roaming about the town which is full of interesting sights. We left Haarlem about two o’clock in the afternoon for Zaandam. We worked up the canal as far as Sparndam, where we were admitted through a lock into the North Sea Canal. The latter connects Amsterdam with the sea and traverses | AND CANOEIST. Holland from west to east, communicating at Amsterdam with the Zuyder Zee. Our course was now to the eastward in the direction of Amsterdam, and then northward up the river Zaan. We reached Zaandam about five p.m., and sailed about on the fine stretch of river drying our sails, which had hardly recovered the wetting of the previous night. We moored for the night ata ship builder’s yard on the south side of the river, and after making everything snug we went into Amsterdam by the seven o’clock steamer and there enjoyed ourselves. We did not take long to find the Hotel Krasnopolski and enjcy a square meal, such as the editor’s delicate organisation even could To all visitors at Amsterdam I not object to. recommend the Krasnopolski. We returned to Zaandam by the last train, and there found a sporting Dutch friend who accompanied us to our tent and sampled Yachtsman’s Blend. Distance run this day about 19 Kilometres in three hours, a very quick run. The following morning the wind was blowing hard from N.W., and we had a very wet and disagreeable turn to windward up the Zaan. Vhe houses on each side of the river obstructed the wind very much so that sailing was anything but pleasant, the wind coming now and again in fierce squalls and veering round three or four points. We were bound for Purmerend, and after about eight miles of this sort of cuss work our course bore away N.E. and then on to the North Holland Canal due E. so that the latter part of our journey was made with a fair wind and in smooth water. It blew very hard however all day, and we found it best to sail under single reef. We reached Purmerend about five o’clock, and after lowering masts and sculling through the town we brought up for the night in a side canal and rigged our tent. Distance run 23 Kilometres. The following day being Sunday we decided to rest. We were moored for the night alongside a path which appeared to be a sort of promenade for the youths and children of the place. We were much annoyed by them and this was about the only place in Holland where we did not receive the greatest kindness and attention. While the Editor and I were dining a number of these lads made impertinent remarks, but when we lghted our cigars, like the land crabs at Trinidad they became obstreperous and saluted us with “ Doris!” “Doris !” “Give me cigar’, &c., and finally when we took no notice they threw stones at us and went their way. We practised great forbearance and left them severely alone. The next morning I was awake by a handful of gravel at my tent, and we found it advisable to shift our berth after breakfast over to the other side of the creek where although we were still MODEL-YACHTSMAN objects of great interest we were not molested. We got under way about five p.m. and had a short sail as far as Edam where we moored alongside of a paddock in which a mill is situated. My friends had camped here before, and the miller at once gave “s permission, and treated us with great | civility. We wandered about Edam in the evening, the Editor. We received a visit from the Burgomaster, Mr. Rhems, and he undertook to call us early on the following morning so that we might be shown everything of interest. The next morning, our last day in Holland, we accompanied our kind friend Mr. Rhems and his son round the village, saw the model cheese farm, the national schools, church, and everything of and left same evening by the s.s. European for Hull. This trip lasted altogether about 10 days, and We spent the evening together in the saloon of the Viking, smoked cigars and drank to the crew of from first to last was the most enjoyable one of its kind which the writer has experienced.

Dotted at intervals over its broad expanse were schuyts hailing from the many little fishing ports on the shores. The scene was enchanting, but we had no wind and without this we should have no chance of getting through our day’s programme. We tried sculling but that was too hot. A bathe was suggested, and we undressed and swam about, leaving the The following amounts have already been promised for the above Fund: £ boats to take care of themselves, The water is very shallow over the whole of the Zuyder Zee.
