Sailor Rhodes Leads Through Seas of Fame
Captain Rhodes, famed yachtsman of Long Island's south shore, sails from a lineage of cap des fenders and a family history on the water. His early start as a 16-year-old oyster schooner skipper led to command of racing yachts and Europe trips, earning him a place among renowned clubs and tales of seafaring prowess.

A Great Spanish Violinist
Sarnagate, a renowned Spanish violinist, learned the instrument at age twelve at the Conservatoire in Paris. His constant practice made his fingers unusually supple and enabled remarkable control, contributing to his mastery of the instrument. The Khadive of Egypt is a fireman who keeps palaces equipped with modern appliances and conducts drills among his domestics, sometimes on false alarms. A dentist gains work by depriving others of teeth.
