Today, the Minas Prince, the only one of this fleet which has never. been in trouble, and which has made six trans-Atlantic voyages as well as innumerable passages from the Maritime provinces to the United States, is being visited at her dock in Boston by many Mari- timers who find in this windjam- mer a living, breathing romance. This member of a class of sail- ing ships which is fast disappear- ing from the seas has sailed the last twelve years under Captain W. H. Smith, a skipper who has had 35 years at sea, and his crew of six downeast sailors, Following a custom common during the last . century when wives 'sailed with their 'skipper husbands, Mrs. Smith has sailed up and down the waterlanes of the earth with Captain Smith for a score of years; she even spent her honeymoon on such a craft. Then there is the skipper"s son, Douglas Smith, thé 'mate, who like many boys of Nova Scotian sea captains, is following in his father's footsteps, And even the perils and discomforts of a sail- or's life have not been great enough to dampen the ardor for the sea of the captain's danghter, Gertrude Smith, who has spent her life on the ocean and whose very cradle was a windjammer. Built in 1919 by Captain Smith at a cost of $80,000, the Minas Prince set a mew world's record for sailing vessels on her maiden voyage, a trip to 'England and back in 60 days to the hour. The speedy crossing cleared $21,000 to her owner. Two other [ast round trips Ocean, in 70 and 75 days, subsequent coastwise passage have earned her the title as the of a Maritime or New England port. Thirteen knots, she lozs. and give her a favcrable wing and her captain says tlie Minar Prince sails past tramp steamers dragging on the bottom. In wartime as in peace time, for his daring exploits as a sail- brought his ine gamut, carrying . provisions tain, But of the numerous and ex- citing experiences which have teen crowded into the life of thi: Bluenose skipper, none is remem- bered with more satisfaction than the rescue of his young son at job boom into the raging sea. "We were 15 Salvador," said Captain smith, "when Douglas was nothing but a boy, sailing as make fast the flying jib, aud he went overboard. "From the wheel, I heard Lis cry, ran to the rail just in time to see him bobbing on the waves amidships as the sshooner raced by him.

M. Penrose when she reached here a few-days ago on a tour through some ot tne dry valleys of British Columbia, "I was never so tired. I've been work- ing ten hours a day in the blazing heat." What a life". What a life indeed, for Miss Penrose is a water diviner--prob- obly the only one of her sex in North America who is a profes- sional in this somewhat uniqu~ field, She has heen engaged by the provincial government to go into the dry areas with a sprig of willow in- her hands, looking fcr likely spots for drilling wells. If the willow sprig turns down- ward, 14 usually means that wat- y 4nto the world to; THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1937 . the location is a suitable one for well drilling. Miss Penrose Las the rather, uncanny faculty of picking a well correctly about 90 petcent, Only a few peoples can ivine wells that way. Since being engaged by the government Miss Penrose bas been beseiged by farmers asking her to go over their land to pick locations for wells. She finds ker work very fatiguing, even though she gets a thrill cvery time the willow sprig turns down- ward. A native of Cornwall, England, the home of water divinera, Miss Penrose came to: Canada last year. For six weeks Jast antumn she did some well divining work in the Kelowna section and rhe was so successful that the gov- ernment has supported hér in her present extensive survey, Joyée (admiring her engage- ment ring): "There's nothing harder in the world than a dia- mond, is there, darling?"
