Bound. the Horn in a windjammer! Not often can anyone make such a voyage nowadays, but Mr. Jack Thode (a popular Auckland yachtsman) shipped aboard the. old "Grace Harwar” at Auckland last May,' and had a memorable trip. What with bad w r eather, mountainous seas, hard work and real peril the voyage was full of thrill. Falmouth was reached 134 days out. When hearing the English coast Mr, Thode’s birthday eventuated and he writes: "For a birthday treat I smoked the last of my New Zealand tobacco.’' The last! New Zealand emokers will sympathise! Mr. Thode doesn’t mention the brand he favoured, but it was probably Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) —a rich full-flavoured baccy and an immense favourite with sea-going folk. It is one of the four noted N.Z. toasted tobaccos, the others being Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, and Eiverhoad Gold. They are all of extraordinary fine quality —and quite harmless, because they are toasted so contain hardly any nicotine. They arc recognised as about the purest tobaccos extant. F?>3fs
