Will Be Tossed Like a Chip New York World Yachtsmen who have sailed the world over in quest of recreation and I health are deeply interested in the proposed plan of Edward Becker treasurer of the Equitable Engineer- ing ¬ Company of No 60 Wall street- to tail from New York to Florida in his houseboat Najme the most splen- didly ¬ equipped and costliest craft of its kind in America if not in the world Although the boat draws little more than three feet of water Mr Becket says there will be no danger when it I leaves the inland route in Virginia- and rides on the Atlantic around Cape Hatteras and thence along the coast- to Florida in tow of an ocean going tug It is planned to start ear y in October and the winter will be spent J or the Miami River I The trip will be a coninuation of t the honeymoon from which Mr and Mrs Becket returned recently after an extended European tour Mrs Becket was Miss Sonia Isabel Tripler a daughter of the late Charles E Trip ¬ let one of the pioneers in the develop ¬ ment of liquid air as a commercial i factor She is pdpular in society in I New York and Paris I Up to the time of the recent pur- chase t of the Najme from the heirs of George C Taylor the eccentric mil lionaire of Islip L I considerable mystery surrounded the boat It was built for Betsy Head housekeeper for the aged millionaire and whose home one the Long Island estate vied with the owners mansion in magnificence j Yachtsmen who have seen the I Najme at its present anchorage off West One Hundred and Twelfth street I have expressed themselves as amazed i l by its luxuriant fittings Her graceful lines trim masts and burnished j brasses suggest at first glance that the craft is a yacht Closer inspection however reveals her to be a house- boat without power She is 98 feet on the water line and has a 30foot I beam The Cigarette owned by an English millionaire and the Ever- glades ¬ i owned by Col Thompson I this city are the only houseboats in the world which exceed the Nejme in length but neither has more than half her beam The Najme is far more spacious than many a summer villa The in- terior ¬ I woodwork even to the galley is of mahogany Below the man deck ars four large staterooms with two I baths a commodious diningroom a salon and a readingroom The latter I three apartments combined with a wide hall can be turned into a ball ¬ room by removing portieres which otherwise separate them I Forward on the boat are the kitchen- or galley two staterooms one for the I chef and the other for the maids and quarters for the crew which consists- of I I four men and a cabin boy On the upper deckthe second story of this I palatial boathouseis the sun prome- nade ¬ along which are boxes filled with flowering plants They are in view of the owners suite which was designed by E Cochrane Johnstone a Scotch shipbuilding expert and to whose ingenuity the yachtlike appear ¬ ance of the Najme is due The owners suite consists of a sa- lon ¬ I a spacious bedroom and a tiled I bathroom equipped with hot and cold salt water or fresh water A spacious fireplace which is fed with logs is installed in the salon I Mr Becket purchased the thirty fivefoot mahogany launch the Syra with the Najme as a tender The I launch will tow the houseboat down the Raritan Canal through the Dela- ware ¬ River and into Chesapeake Bay where a tug will take up the journey around Cape Hatteras to Miami Flor- ida ¬ Among the modern appliances- with which the Najme is fitted Is a sulphuricetherhydrogen searchlight the first of its kind operated by a storage battery of 110000 candle candlepower George C Taylor built the Najme several years ago from plans drawn br himself The Najmes lines were first staked off with ropes on the lawn of the millionaires Long Island estate He employed expert craftsmen en- gaged ¬ I from abroad to carry out his ideas They were instructed to defer from even driving a nail unless if was with the sanction of Mr Taylor or Betsy Head Shipbuilders estimate- the cost of the Najme at more than 200000 When the boat was finished Mr I Taylor found he could not get it to the bay to launch He had a canal dug from the lawn to the inlet a dis- tance ¬ of half a mile and in this man- ner ¬ i floated the boat It was moored I to a dock at the end of the canal I after one trial trip and thereafter was j never used Betsy Head it was said in the neighborhood had tired of the I costly whim in which she had been In- dulged ¬ by the eccentric millionaire The houseboat was kept ready for oc cuparcy nevertheless but only a few p < isonal friends of Mr Taylor were pel mitted to go on board I Mr Becket has refitted the boat in thr most luxurious manner compatible i with good taste He plan later to in- stall i an engine which will drive the boat at a speed of from six to seven miles an hour SHE LIKES GOOD THINGS i I Mrs Chas E Smith of West Frank- lin ¬ Maine says I like good things and have adopted Dr Kings New Life Pills as
