Nothing is more exasperating at sea than a dead calm. A howling gale is preferable, if your craft is a sailing vessel.

Why not put yourself in a position to laugh at the calm? Get the Gas Engine and Power Co. and Charles L. Seabury & Co. (Consolidated) to fit your yacht with a Naphtha Motor.

Or, better still, give them an order to build a down-to-date auxiliary craft like Alfredo, shown in the cut—the flagship and fleet of the Cuban navy, commanded by Johnny O'Brien, the famous filibuster.

She is fifty feet long, has a sixteen-horse-power motor and goes nine miles an hour under naphtha alone. She also sails like a witch, is a splendid sea boat, and has "bully" accommodations below. Just the ideal boat for pleasant cruising. Never becalmed with sails idly flapping. Always sure of making port.

Ten cents in stamps will bring you a catalogue by return mail. It will interest you.
