  T.F. Day, who was successful in crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a twenty-five-foot yawl, is contemplating another trip across the Atlantic. This time he hopes to break all previous records for small sailing yachts across the "pond," and will essay the trip in a new type of yacht -- a three-masted yawl. (Jan 1913- NYTimes)
