332 tained, will be seen on inspection of the plans, which show a total of 13 large staterooms for the owner and his guests, all of them unusually lib- eral in size and none less than 10 feet in length, and for the use of the oc- cupants of these rooms, nine _ bath- rooms conveniently arranged. Of all these rooms only two are on the berth deck. On the main deck, conveniently arranged, will be found the following large living rooms: Nearly full width of the vessel, is the music room, the dimensions being 28 feet by 28 feet. This room is finished entirely in Java teak and has over- head an immense dome skylight of translucent glass so arranged with an indirect lighting system that at night an effect of sunlight is secured. This room is fitted with large win- dows of l-inch plate glass and has an immense fireplace with massive over- mantel, and with the numerous large divans, heavy and comfortable loung- ing chairs, reading tables and piano, creates an impression of being a room' in some large country house rather than on a vessel. Near the after end: of the main deck is the library, also the full width of the vessel, being 24 by 16 feet in di- mensions, the finish being of specially imported Thibet mahogany of a beau- tiful dull red color, handsomely pan- eled, having numerous book shelves, comfortable lounging divans, reading tables, writing desks and heavy loung- ine chairs, making, in fact;a room perfectly adapted for its purpose. This room is also fitted with large plate glass windows, these windows being so arranged that they may be opened in good weather, and at all times giving ample light and doing away with the shut-in feeling so often no- ticed in similar cases. Library and Lounging Room Directly aft of the library and ex- tending to the stern of the vessel, a large lounging room has been con- structed, approximately 30 by 20 feet in dimensions, the sides of the vessel at this point being left open the ereater part of the distance, so that although the deck overhead and the high steel bulwarks provide ample protection against bad weather, this space is really an out-of-door room in every sense of the word. The sides of this space all the way around are fitted with comfortable cushions and springs, thus really providing out- of-door sleeping accommodations for as many as wish to avail themselves of this feature, and in addition sev- eral regular sleeping hammocks have been constructed to be hung in this amidships, extending the | THE MARINE REVIEW space for use in extremely hot weather. On the- upper deck, as already noted, will be found forward a steel deck house containing the dining room, 24 by 19 feet in dimensions, aft of which is the pantry. The dining room is finished in sanded Java teak, left dull without any filler or varnish, and contains in addition to a massive dining room table, a very large and elaborate sideboard, two massive serving tables and four corner cup- boards, the decoration of this room being Jacobean character. On the upper deck aft of the main- mast is another steel deck house con- taining an entrance hall, from which access is had to the quarters below, this space being 12 by 12 feet in di- mensions and finished in teak, the forward end of this entrance hall being a wireless room with a very complete equipment and accommo- dation for the wireless operator. An interestin gfeature in connection with the entire scheme of the quarters for the owner and his guests is that from each and every stateroom and living room access may be had to all the other living rooms and_ staterooms without any necessity of going out on deck, this being accomplished by cleverly arranged passages and _ stair- The arrangement of the living quar- ters for the crew and servants has been most carefully thought out, and, notwithstanding that the total crew of 48 men has to be accommo- dated, unusually liberal quarters are provided forward. It was thought best to arrange the quarters for the various classes of employes all to- gether, and this has been found to work out most satisfactorily. The valets and personal servants have quarters: ,on - the... berth . deck. aft, where a separate bath room is pro- vided for their exclusive use. On the berth deck amidships, in between the engine and boiler room, are the quarters for the engineers, firemen, water tenders and oilers, these quar- ters having a separate mess room and two well equipped bath rooms. On the berth deck away forward are the quarters for a portion of the ordi- nary seamen, with a separate mess room, toilet and wash room. Imme- diately aft of these quarters will be found the rooms of the cooks and stewards, these employes having a separate bath room for their own use. On the main deck away forward the balance of the ordinary seamen are taken care of, they having a separate toilet and wash room, the second mate also having a separate state- room in this space. The raised fore- castle contains a very comfortable September, 1914 stateroom for private bath room opening off the same, also a-stateroom:for the first ofncer and for: the pilot' "On: the main deck amidships is situated the officers' mess, a most comfortable room, and readily accessible from the various officers' quarters. On the main deck amidships is also located the galley for the crew, a bakery and a very large, well equipped separate galley for the owner. On the main deck abreast the engine hatch on the port side is the chief engineer's stateroom, an excellent arrangement in every way. From the preceding, it will be seen that as far as the living arrangements are concerned, Cyprus is a remark- able vessel, and the appointments of all the staterooms are most elaborate and at the same time great taste has been shown in their decoration. While in many of the rooms the gen- eral scheme is Colonial in character, the furniture, doors and trim being of mahogany. and the. side walls" and overhead finished with white, certain cf the rooms, however, being de- signed especially for the use of la- dies, are finished entirely in ivory white, the hangings and upholstery being in delicate shades of pink or blue. The owner's room is finished in imported Thibet oak, which is a very handsome wood, having a most beautiful soft tone and being very handsomely figured. Every piece of removable furniture on the yacht has been especially designed so as to be absolutely in keeping with the other appointments, a fact which nat- urally adds great individuality to the living quarters. As Mr. Jackling often transacts considerable business while on board the Cyprus, he has arranged his own living quarters somewhat apart from those of his guests, and he has adjacent to his own room, which opens into a library, a large private office and a special room for his secretary.
