Aboard the great Atlantic liners of the latest pattern the conquest of the I oeean may seem accomplished, and that | there is no scope left for daring seaman- | ship. Tie days of the real sailor are J not by any means over, however, when ' exploits like those of the hardy marin-1 ers who are crossing the Atlantic in tiny boats this summer are being achiev-1 ed. No sooner has news come to hand that the auxiliary yawl Sea Bird, with her crew, of three, had arrived at Gibraltar, after making their 3000 miles across j the ocean, than the sailing is announced of the 3l>ft yawl, the Pandora, with her ] two owners, Captain George D. Blythe and Captain Peter Arapakis, for the other side. She is hound for London (reports the New York correspondent of a London joumaj), aMd expects to make the trip in about 30 days. Her course is laid out along the northern steamship track—a lonely one at this time of the year on aiwount of the icebergs. Hut the perils of the Atlantic have no terrors for the Pandora's crew. For nearly two years she has been voyaging from Australia, and has a log full of adventures encountered on the Pacific and round the Horn. Once in a flcrec gale she was turned completely over, but right again, her mast being torn out. She has been lying for a month in New York harbor repairing damages suffered on her way up the coast. The Pandora, it will be remembered, stayed some days in Auckland on her voyage from Bunbury (West Australia) to New York, I round the Horn, via Pitcairn and other islands.
