THE GOLDEN AGE OF SAIL
♦■ There is no better present-day instance of how a ship can engage the affection, time, and money of an owner than the beautiful Fan tome 11., now owned by Colonel the Hon. A. E. G_inness (writes John Scott Hughes in "Good Housekeeping"). At first sight of her you have the dream-like feeling that you are looking on something not visible to the eyes of those about you, Pantomo, with her piled sails, her black hull streaked with tho white line of her ports, is a faithful model of a clipper ship _of the golden age of sail. Sho was indeed once a merchantman, having been built over 30 years ago by tho French for the Chilian nitrate trade. Her conversion is said to havo been a costly process, but to have proved a complete success. As a yacht she has been well fried, and the many long voyages which the Fan tome has undertaken—one of them round tho world— have earned her the name of "The Happy Ship," among those fortunate enough to have formed the ship's company.
