He is now "off to see the world, Navy style," he writes. * * * * * The July issue will be edited by TeleScope's former editor, Bill Hoey, and by Steamboat Bill issue editor, Bill Worden. The latter, by the way, just finished putting to- gether a monumental summer issue of Steamboat Bill on the departed Cana- dian steamers. Your more-or-less regular editor will be in Europe. * * * * * The cover photograph shows North Land some time after her rebuilding of 1901-02. Other views show the main salon of North West (below) as it originally looked in 1894; and (on opposite page) North West with a bone in her teeth "running at a rate of speed exceeding 20 knots," as shown in Northern Steamship Co.'s monograph of 1895. Much of the mat- erial in this issue, as in our preo single-ship monograph issues, courtesy of J. Michael vious comes by O'Brien.
