As actually built, nearly all these Stuart Royal Yachts carried a large tarving of the Royal Arms in the stern, and the figures of a draped woman and two naked boys, which here take the place of that design, seem to indicate that the present model represents a project ed rather than a completed vessel The carving, which is excellently preserved, is delicate and elaborate. the sleeping boys above the win dows of the cabin being particular-flowered. ly charming.
