THE COVER: The pretty sight under full canvas is the 96 ft. US-owned brig Yankee , which has made quite a name for herself in a current voyage across the South Seas (see p. 103). Sydney Press photographer Cec Lynch got this shot of "Yankee” somewhere in the Coral Sea in April when he sailed in her from Cairns to Port Moresby on assignment for "Pix" and Woman's Day".
