E'R AND (SKIPPER
The auxiliary- powered schooner ,

round-the-world pleasure cruise.
«Sir Guy plans a run up the Alas

here will drop down to Hawaii. He
will remain at the islands until the I
close oif the season and proceed to
the . Mediterranean.
The Four Winds was purchased in
Seattle last September and was then
the schooner Eric. Admiral Gaunt
took the four-masted ship to Victoria
and outfitted her into an elegant sail
ing yacht. In addition to master’s
quarters below, there are accommo
dations for six guests and a commo

made as shipshape as only a British
admiral could order.
The Four Winds is flying the en

Yacht club. The owner’s personal j
flag is decorated with the symbol of
a gray goose.
Admiral Gaunt first sailed as a boy
of 14 in a windjammer and is the
only admiral in the Royal navy since
Nelson’s day who was elevated from
enlisted ranks.
