E leave in ten minutes for
Dover and Calais.," said the
'a| partout, his equally famous
valet.
"Monsieur is going to leave home.'"
"Yes," replied Phileas Fogg, "we are go-
.iig to make the tour of the world.
"The tour ol the world!" murmured Passe-
partout.".
"In eighty days. So we have not a mo-
ment to lose."
All the world knows how the wager was
won and how Phileas Fogg walked into his
club on the dot of the minute to tell his
clubmates how he had performed the le^i.
That was in London, forty years ago.
Last December Mr: .1. Harvey Ladew, of New
York, said with equal composure:—"1 w'ill
tour the world in my yacht, going further
than any member of the yacht club has ever
gone in a single crui'se. The inaccessible
parts of the Orient shall be visited bv me and
I shall rettirfi in the early summer to report
to mv fellow members of the yacht club what
1 have done."
Many a good cruise through Northern and
Southern waters has he had in his comfort-
able steam yacht, the Colombia. It was the
pleasure that he had had from these compara-
tively commonplace cruises that suggested
his undertaking; the longer one.
The yacht is not one of the largest in this
country, but It-is a very comfortable one and
provides ample accommodations for the party
of fifteen, including the servants. Its gross
tonnage is 682 tons, the length over all being
196.3 feet. With Mr. Ladew are Mrs. Ladew
and their two little boys, Oliver and Joseph;
Harvey Ladew, Jr.; their niece, Miss Elise
Wall Ladew, and nephew, Mr. Harvey S. La-
dew, with their cousin, Miss Anne Wall, and
a friend, Miss Hilda Holmes, daughter of Mr.
Artemas II, Holmes. Mr. Juan M. Ceballos
also started with Mr. Ladew, but was called

paid to the Gaekwar of Baroda, who enter-
tained them with all the royal magnificence
which a rich and powerful Eastern rotea*
tate has at his command. This Prince is nc*
only one of the greatest in India, but he h*.
a Western education and has travelled not
only all over Europe but in America.
In leisurely fashion, stopping off for visits
along (he way, the Ladew party made its way
to Calcutta, where the good yacht Columbia
was waiting, it having gone around the
southern point of India and Ceylon while
the party-crossed the country. Here they
again went aboard the yacht and steamed for
Singapore and other places of interest in that
locality, utterly disregarding schedules and
staying wherever they found anything attrac-
tive as long as they wished. Almost equally
picturesque and interesting as their visit
to the Ciaekwar of Baroda was the visit of
the party to Siam, where they were the
guests of the young King of Siam, another
Oriental who adds the advantage of Western
education to the splendors of royal state In
the East.
From Siam the Columbia will proceed to
China, where much time is to be spent in
explorations, not only along the coast and
up the rivers, but in side trips to unusual
places, in many of which the Ladews have
had invitations from persons who will be able
to show them the country to the best advan-
tage. The parly will arrive in Japan at the
right moment to see the trees In the full
glory of their blossoms. «
The Columbia will proceed to the Far
North afler leaving China and Japan, Mr.
Ladew and his guests leaving her at Vladi-
vostock and crossing Siberia in „ private car
at the season when the flowers, famed for
their beauty and brilliancy, stretch In wide
tracts on either side of the railroad. Just
where the yacht is to meet the party has not
yet been decided. If the Panama Canal were
open they would return that way In order to
make their trip a complete circling of the
globe, and their regret is deep that this link
