Note.--Many were the preparations to be made before starting on our
voyage; the crew had to be selected, we had to decide whether all,
any, or none of the children should be taken, what friends we should
invite to accompany us, what stores and provisions we should take, and
to select from our little fleet of boats those which seemed best
suited for the various requirements of the voyage. The whole number
comprised
The 'Gleam,' lifeboat cutter;
The 'Glance,' large gig;
The 'Ray,' light gig;
The 'Trap' (to catch a sunbeam), steam launch;
The 'Mote,' dingy;
The 'Flash,' light outrigger.
Of these the 'Trap' and the 'Ray' had to be left behind.
_LETTER_
(From the _Times_ of June 2, 1877).
To the Editor of the 'Times.'--Sir,--Believing it possible that some
interest may attach to the voyage completed on May 27 by the arrival
of the 'Sunbeam' at Cowes, I venture to offer to your readers a short
narrative of our proceedings.
