An Ideal Cruiser.

Just at sunset yesterday the
handsome Vancouver power boat
“La Boheme” stole softly into the
harbor and berthed at the Davis
float. On board the: launch were
her owner Mr. J. E. Sully of Van-
couver with his family also Mrs.
| Chambers and her little son Walter
l|aged five who is having the time
of his life on the long launch trip.
| Three weeks ago the party left
|Vancouver, and they have been
|cruising northwards in pleasant
| leisurly manner under ideal weather
conditions, A little fog alone
gave trouble when crossing the
Sound.

Magnificent Boat

“La Boheme” certainly ranks
with the finest power boats that
have visited Prince Rupert from
the South. She is a forty-footer,
nine foot beam, four and a half
foot draught, and developes 20
H. P. Her power is a four cylinder
“Holiday”
in a roomy pilot house and engine
room. From the upper deck the
boat can be steered by auto gear,
and there is also the usual wheel
equipment in the pilot house. Abo-
ut eight knots is the speed of ‘
|Boheme,”’ and she a most
| comfortable cruiser.
