Voyages to Holland, in 1858 and 1863. Round the World, 1876-77. India, Straits Settlements, Borneo, Macassar, Australia, Cape of Good Hope, 1886-87. England to Calcutta, 1893. Two voyages to the West Indies, 1883 and 1892, the latter including visits to the Chesapeake and Washington. [Illustration: 'Sunbeam,' R.Y.S. (Lord Brassey).] Canada and the United States, 1872. The Baltic, 1860. In 1889 the 'Sunbeam' was lent to Lord Tennyson, for a short cruise in the Channel. The owner deeply regrets that he was prevented by Parliamentary duties from taking charge of his vessel with a passenger so illustrious on board. The distances covered in the course of the various cruises enumerated may be approximately given:-- _Distances sailed: compiled from Log Books_ +-------------------------------------------------------------+ Year | Knots | Year | Knots | Year | Knots | Year | Knots +-----+-------+------+-------+-------+--------+-------+-------+ 1854 | 150 | 1864 | 1,000 | 1874 | 12,747 | 1884 | 3,087 1855 | 250 | 1865 | 2,626 | 1875 | 4,370 | 1885 | 6,344 1856 | 2,000 | 1866 | 4,400 | 1876 } | 1886 } 1857 | 1,500 | 1867 | 3,000 | 1877 } 37,000 | 1887 } 36,466 1858 | 2,500 | 1868 | 1,000 | 1878 | 9,038 | 1888 | 1,175 1859 | 2,300 | 1869 | 1,900 | 1879 | 5,627 | 1889 | 8,785 1860 | 1,000 | 1870 | 1,400 | 1880 | 5,415 | 1890 | 8,287 1861 | 800 | 1871 | 5,234 | 1881 | 5,435 | 1891 | 1,133 1862 | 3,200 | 1872 | 9,152 | 1882 | 3,345 | 1892 | 11,992 1863 | 900 | 1873 | 2,079 | 1883 | 13,545 | 1893 | 8,500 +-------------------------------------------------------------+ Total, 1854-1893, 228,682 knots. I turn from the voyages to the yachts in which they were performed, observing that no later possession filled its owner with more pride than was felt in the smart little 8-tonner which heads the list.
