ilDEi TRIP
Liverpool, Juno 3—The giant
Cuiiruder Aquitania, Britain's larg
est liuer and the world's most lux
urious ship, sailed Friday ou her
maiden voyage to New York. The
liner which cost roughly $10,000,000
to build, is i»01 feet loag, 97 feet
broad, and her gross tonnage is
4 7.O00. Although she will sh^re the
mail service with the Mauretania,
the Aquitania will not try to beat
the records of her speedy sisters
but will content herself with a
comparatively modest 23 knots an
hour.
Accomodation is provided for 3,
500 passengers and a crew of 1,000.
Warned by the Titanic disaster the
designers have alotted boats for all.
A new feature is the provision of
!' o powerful motor launches which
ii' necessary can tow the ordinary
luebouts. t Each is fitted with a
3 io mile range wireless installation
In case or accident to the liner's
t.'alii apparatus. The Aquitania is
two ships in one, for the inner shell
is separate from the outer shell by
fit teen Jeet, which with a new sys
i.m of water tight compartments, is
reckoned to make the vessel un
sinkable.
All modern luxuries such as
•Jiawing rooms, lounges, smoking
rooms, verandah cafes, foyers, res
taurants, grill room, swimming
bi'hs and gymnasium, are provided,
but the particular pride of the Aqui
tania is the long gallery, which
rung from the first class smoking
icom to the lounge and is a veri
laoie museum and art gallery. It
i- lio feet long and is paneled in
n.ilicg'ay and painted a delicate
preen. Walls and show casos dis
pl;.y exhibits of jewelery, chiua,
1 e-work, costly prints and paint
.g. and other objects of art. There
is also a theatre and during the
\ oyage music-hall and theatrical
stars will give several performances
a week. Friday night a star com
i ;u y including Barclay Gammon
George Robey, Arthur Prince and
Mis., Violet Essex will participate in
;■ permiere, and in future footlight
i ivorites will be able to save part
of their passage money by booking
engagements during the voyage.
Six 3 weeks spent in cruising the
lak<*s i»:h! rivers of the Southern
Yukon :u company with his wife and
children is the program which has
liven mapped out by P. H. GTfy. one
of the leading retail merchants of
Skagwnv, for the summer vacation.
Mr. Ganty has ordered a 17-foot
clinker built rowboat from Van
couver, D. C., which will, upon its
arrival here early in July, be pro
vided! with an "Evinrude" motor
and taken over on the train to the
ln-ad o° Lake Bennett, where it
will be pi'iced in the water, and
from which point the voyage will I
commence.
From the head of the lake the ;
yoyageurs will take any direction
their fancies dictate and will re-1
m..in iu any place they see fit i
as long as they wish. Leaving Lake :
Benne*1 they will follow tho. river
down to the Little Windy Arm, and
uo that to the portage at its head,
over which they will transport their
boat and drop it into Touchi lake on
the opposite side.
After exploring Tou-:hi lake and
th* streams emptying into it they
W'il return over the portage and
continue on down to the Taku Arm
ajid either portage across it lo Atlin
lake or else try to negotiate an
'extremely difficult stream of sev
eral miles in length which flows,
: out of Atlin lake into Taku Arm.
| After visiting Atlin and other I
j points of interest in that section j
thev will return to tho Yukon liver
I and continue on down to Marsh I
' lake and from there through Miles
, canyon and the Whitehorse rapids to
the town of the same uame, where
I thev will place their boat on the
train and have it returned to the
i head of Lake Bennett, where it
' will be placed iu safe quarters un- j
til they want to use it again.
The greater part of their time wil i
be speii* |n hunting and fishing,
and when it is deemed neee.sary 1
guides will be procured to show j
t*>em the way to where they wish
to go.
This will not be a new experience
lo Mr. and Mrs. Ganty for they |
spent six weeks last summer in the I
same manner and covered practic
ally a portion of the same ground
thay will go over this season. The
('ifCerence will be that 011 the pres
ent trip they will cover far more
territory before their return to
Skagway.
Thev were both enthusiastic ove.
their last year's outing and we pre-j
same that with their former exj ei
iiLce and their familiarity with at
lenst a portion of the country |
which they will visit they will come
back from this trip more enthused
than ever.
