5.30 this iwltil plenty of excitement.
Ily ii) o'clock all the yachts had left
the rendezvous and were on their way
down the bay.
Early risers around Sandy Hook who
took an early obscrvation found the
wind light from the west and biowmg
about three miles. Weathcrwise peo—
ple said that before the day grew much
older there would be enough wind to
start thc yachts and that before finish—
ing they would have all the wind they
iii-sired. The weather was pleasant al
the Hook and a light sea was running.
Before 6:30 a. m. the crew of the co-
lunlbia had her jib and staysall up in
stops and the cover had been taken on
the mainsail.
The Shamrock's people bad by that
time uncovered hcr mainsail and had
hoisted hcr jib ilp in stops. Then the
crews prcpared to go to breakfast. The
brcczc off the beach at the Hook was
enough to give the pilot boats quite a
little move. and they sailed lip and
down at fairly good speed. The Scot—
land nghiship, four miles away. could
lw seen from the Highlands. but the
“unify llook Lightship, r-ighf miles
'lwny, was hidden from ricw. ’l he
fleet of yin-ills at the Hook was larger
than on Tuesday.

'll’t‘f’lf’ did not help them to any great

Thcweutilr‘rremained rathcrthick of!
bore. and at iv to Sandy Hook Light—
bip was still hidden by the mist. lne
westerly brccze brought with it warm
utilun slimmer conditions. but the air
has lifeless and did not have the snap
‘il it as was the case early iuesilay
ilorning.
At 3:47- thc wind had dropped to
'-bouf fivr- knots from the southwest at
be Highlands. A low light streaks
'uuid be seen on the water off me
much.
At 8:45 the Shamrock's tllg Lawrence
-'lme alongside and took a line from
be big grrcn racer. The mooring was
~zisf off and the Shamrock started for
rhc ilghtship. Just before she left her
mmrings the new all went below and
.llt'll on the halynriis. which are cur—
‘cd beneath the deck, and the crew oc-
zin hoisting the big mainsnil.
Five minutes after the Shamrock
flirted the Columbia was taken in tow
'lr it tug. im'l as was the case on Tues-
!»y. the American boat followed her
rival olit by the Hook.
The Shamrock's mainsalh was well
up by the time she had got past the
point. and the crcw immediately began
rolling the big clubfopsail aloft. This
soil was also set in quick'time.
The Columbia's mainsail took long~
"r to sci, and it was not until the ship
‘vns two miles off the point of the Hook
'hat the crew began the work of send—
ing aloft her clubtopsoii. The Colum—
bia was about half a mile astern of the
Shamrock as they proceeded out to the
llghtsbip.
At 9:15 the wind was still light from
the west southwest. although frequent
puffs could be felt scurrying out to sea.
The haze had cleared sufficiently to en-
able the observer at the Highlands to
faintly ,distinguish the Sandy Hook
Lightship eight miles distant.
