AT HOME IN THE FUNNEL
It looks as if Captain Bambra. will be able to say to a favoured passenger, "Come and have tea with me.,in the funnel." His ship is the. Delius. which trades between England and South America. Motor-driven, she needs no funnels, but one has been built for the sake of appearance. As it is of no use for the ordinary purpose to which funnels are put, the builders of the ship have turned it into a disguised cabin for the captain, who may take one step out of his cabin to the captain's deck. There is also room for the wireless operator's station. Those of ns who have been to sea have come to think of the captain's deck as almost a sacred spot. It seems odci to picture the captain shaving in the funnel.
