Abstract
APPEALED to by name—spirits from the vasty deep—I have waited for my elders, also named, to answer Mr. Hennah's queries about dredging, and, failing to see anything more, I venture to trouble you with a few lines, the more so as I felt the want of advice when I was fitting out the Norna in 1870. Details would be out of place here; I will only at present give a few hints. And first—to repeat Punch's advice to those about to marry—if about to buy a yacht, DON'T ! Begin by hiring one of the tonnage you require, the proper price being Il. 5s. per ton per month, including the wages of skipper and crew, but rarely of cook or steward. After your first season buy by all means if you like.
