lies. who travel in a luxury that
«‘o yacht could afford.
Make Valued Acquaintances
On such a cruise the Wall Street
hanker or the Philadelphia lawyer
may add to his circle of acquain
tances a few rich cotton planters
from the South, some wealthy
lumber dealers from the Pacific
Northwest, a successful grain deal
er from the Central States and a
feyv leading manufacturers from
New England. It was just such a
fascinatingly diverse group, which
recently completed, on the La
conia. the first pleasure cruise to
go completely around the world.
So popular and so successful
have thrse cruises been, with their
outstanding social features, that
dicir number is increafing yearly
and the routes ate becoming more
diversified. It is estimated that
wore than 3,000 Americans from
' sections of the country thus cir
cumnavigated the globe during the
past winter.
Luxury and sight-seeing oppor
tunities, beyond the possibilities of
the best yacht, are planned for a
£orld cruise upon which the liner
Franconia will sail from New York
"ext November, for the second
pleasure cruise to go completely
»r»und the world. She will be
’ nder the management, by special
t tarter, of the American Express
Company. ^The Franconia, on
*hich the "yachting party will
m akc its winter home In sunny
»cas for four months, is the newest
the Canard liners, displacing
20,000 tons. On this cruise she will
house in luxury 400 to 500 travel-
fr'Jn quarters osed to accommodate
1.000 to 1,500 on her regular At-
batic cruises.
Neophytes first Crossing the Equator must pay Homage to Father
Neptune and his Wife—Ducking is one of the features of the
Initiation—The picture shows part of the Historic Ceremony
Aboard the Laconia on her recent M Round the World** Cruise.
Last Word in Luxury
The Franconia is the last word
in liner luxury. She is equipped
with a swimming pool, a complete
steam laundry, barber shops, ladies'
beauty and hair dressing parlors, a
dark room for developing film, li
brary, safe deposit vaults, candy
shop and other conveniences only
to be found on Fifth Avenue. The
itinerary; will include stops at
practically all the historic and in
teresting ports in the tropics.
Last winter more Americans
participated in sueh “super-yacht
ing” cruises than have cruised on
private yachts in the past twenty
years. Yachting was once the
sport of millionaires. Today world
touring is within the reach of prac
tically anyone Who can fifford to

Says Pirates Originated Accident Insurance.

f<
irfftmf
surance agent buttonholes you to
induce you to take out life and ac
cident insurance, ask him if he
knows that pirates “who sailed the
Spanish Main and singed the
heard of the Don of Spain” were
the originators of both life and
accident insurance. Of course he
will think you arc spoofing him.
But you can quote from the latest
and most authoritative Mstfiy of
the pirates. It is “The Real Story
o( (he Pirate”, by A. Hyatt Ver-
rill, published by D. Appleton &
In the year 1640 piracy was
recognized business, and before
a pirate captain set forth he dis
cussed the details of the expedi
tion with the adventurers who rai-
lied around him. The following in
surance provisions were then writ
ten into the ‘rticies, according to
'•The Real Story of the Pirate”.
“Finally the matter of indemnity
or accident insurance waj adpnt-
cd and embodied in thesearUeies.
Thus, for the ,?L IrJJ <5
right arm, si* hundred
eight or si* slaves would be agmd
upon; for a left »rmj*« *““*£“

eight or one slave. Slave, were
always valued at
'emale, white, black or red, old or
young, and the beneficiaries had
the option of taking either slaves
or cash.” The “piece of eight”
was the monetary ancestor of our
dollar, and our doltar sign is fhe
sign, slightly altered, denoting
pieces of eight
Pirates were not always obscure
scoundrels or escaped convicts.
One of the most successful was
no less a person than the Earl of
Cumberland, while perhaps the
most famous of all was pardoned
and knighted by the king. * One
noted pirate carried with him a
Greek Testament, and held relig
ious services before an expedition.
Mr. Verrill tells of a pirate cap
tain deposed by his crew bccausa
he attacked the enemy on Sunday
and did not hold religious services.
The first Anglo-Saxons to cir
cumnavigate the globe were pi
rates, and the last famous pirate
was captured in 1922 and was a
woman.
Early In the eighteenth century
Mary Kecd and Anne Bonny, two*
women pirates, were captured and.
taken to London in chains by a*
British man-of-war. Mary Reed;
