Nearly 3,000 in use. The Safest, Simplest, Speediest Power Boat. Superiority demonstrated by ten years’ experience.
Nothing is more exasperating at sea than a dead calm. A howling gale is preferable, if your craft is a sailing vessel.
Why not put yourself in a position to laugh at the calm? Get the Gas Engine and Power Co. and Charles L. Seabury & Co. (Consolidated) to fit your yacht with a Naphtha Motor.
Or, better still, give them an order to build a down-to-date auxiliary craft like Alfredo, shown in the cut—the flagship and fleet of the Cuban navy, commanded by Johnny O’Brien, the famous filibuster.
She is fifty feet long, has a sixteen-horse-power motor and goes nine miles an hour under naphtha alone. She also sails like a witch, is a splendid sea boat, and has “bully” accommodations below. Just the ideal boat for pleasant cruising. Never becalmed with sails idly flapping. Always sure of making port.
