The "President Pot," which has the distinction of starting off on this hundredth cruise, is the fing ahip of the Dollar Line round-the- world fleet.

What steamship.men consider re markable is that the Dollar Lina In its over four years of operation around the world service, has not deviated from the original schedule which was published 12 months in advance of the first sailing. These ships are still adhering to that schedule, and tales are brought back that certain lighthouse keep- ers and others in distant ports In the Far East, set their watches and mark their calendars by the passing of the Dollar Line vessels.
