Feminine personnel on evening cruise on Mr. Cummings boat, Wheeler Osgood. The women wave and bask in the warm summer evening while they speed across the water in the 36 foot wooden yacht, the "Challenger". The Challenger was built by Fred Cummings and Charles Brooks of the Sound Boating Company. She had 115 hp twin engines and cruised at 20 mph. The Challenger was launched 4 weeks earlier and was docked at Old Tacoma Boat Mart. The women were embarked for Cross' Landing on Vashon Island this evening. (T.Times, 8/18/1947, p.3)
