...observer of last week's developments who was quite as intensely interested as the Standard Fruit men, was Boston's Victor Macomber Cutter, president of far-flung United Fruit Co.

Their boat, the cutter Direction, 13 tons, 33 ft. over all, belonged to Allen's father. Allen was skipper, "Cupid" mate; Kent was cook and navigator.
