Mayflower Yacht Sails South on Roosevelt Mission
New York The Mayflower yacht once used by Ogden Goelet and later by the U S government for naval service sails on a mission in South American waters.

The piece recalls Roosevelt’s rare pleasure voyage and notes the president’s disdain for yachting as a pastime and the ship’s distinguished history.

In over 27 years as a department member, Dick the cat proved unusually intelligent. Presented by Hoseman Chamberlain about two years ago, he learned to slide down the firemen’s 19 foot pole. He often rests in the engine and hose wagon, and Chief Captain Walker notes he first began sliding a year ago. One night Dick leaped from the tower floor door to the pole, landed on his feet, and continued to be a familiar, sleeping fixture at the firehouse.
