I No more are to be seen new ves- I scls of the sire of the famous "Corsair,” and ships of its class.

Great trans-Atlantic liners are now taken I from their regular schedules and I placed at the dis(£sal, for a nom inal sum, of organized cruise par- 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.

Says Pirates Originated Accident Insurance. pieces of eight, whether male 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*« *““*£“ piece, of eight or *«*!««.«« S right leg. five htmdml P£«s of eight or five slave;s,'tor a leR Wl four hundred pieces four slaves: for aneyeorafinger or hand, one hundr^P^ees^ eight or one slave.

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.
