...summer cruise will take us to the Azores, Madeira, Tenerife, Cadiz and Tangier", he began. "At Tangier, most of my summer crew will leave the ship to return to college. Then, with five hands besides the cook, the bos'n and myself, we will start for San Francisco by way of Rio, the Horn and Valparaiso. The voyage should occupy about four and one-half months, and will quite possibly be the last westward passage around Cape Horn under sail...

The body of Otto's father, the Emperor Karl, lay in a rusty vault on the island of Madeira under a heap of ancient wilted wreaths from European royalty. One thing the Dollfuss Heimvehr Government is most likely to do for the Habsburgs is to allow Karl's body to be brought back to take its place among his ancestors in the Capuchin Church in Vienna, and to repeal...
