crew worked smartly, and inside of ten
minutes all the large sails were placed.
The topaall Reliance set while inside
the Hook, proved somewhat smaller
than the weather conditioha warrant-
ed, and Captain Barr, finding the sea
smooth,,‘and the wind comparatively
light, decided to change to a still larg—
er one, and this' was done. In the
meantime the regatta committee on

 

aboard the tug Navigator had arrived

at the start, and the committee wai-
buay for some minutes planning out
the course.

At 10:25 the signal was hoisted for a
triangular course. the tug Navigator
coming to anchor about half a mile to
the westward of the Iightshlp. At
10:30 the course signals were hoisted.
Fir/e minutes at or the regatta commit-
tee had set the signal for a triangular
race the three sets of flags were brok-
en out on the triatic stay, denoting
the direction of the three legs. As
read from shore the first leg was south,
giving the boats a beat down the Jer-
sey shore. The next was northeast bi'
east. oaefhalf east.»which, under the
conditions of the wind‘ prevailing ill
the time, would give the yachts a
broad reach from the first to the sec‘
ond mark on the starboard tack. The
next leg was northwest by west to the
finish at the lightshlp, another broau
reach on the port tack

The'prellmlnary signal was fired at
10:46, and immediately after the fight
for position began. As usual Reliance
folIoWed Shamrock in her various
manoeuvres about the line. neither
boat going very far away from the
starting point. When the preliminary
gun was drodboth were to the east-
ward of the lightshlp.

When the preliminary gun was fired
both were to the eastward of the light-
Ihlp a bit. but returned and began sail-
ing up and down the line. When the
warning signal was fired at 10:56 the
Shamrock was close to the committee
boat. She immediately headed along
the line on the starboard tack, and Re-
liance coming down from the wind-
ward attempted to blanket her, Both
boats four minutes before start were
holding across the line on the star-
board tack. with Reliance on Sham-
rock's weather quarter. Then they
were back with Shamrock in the lead.
and came for the eastern end of the
line on the port tack. Reliance, how-
ever, kept right after her. In the
meantime, a great tank boat camc
plunging between the yachts, and the
Reliance was forced to hold away. She
went to the stern of the committee
boat, and swinging around, headed for
the line on the starboard tack. Con—
trary to his usual custom. Captain
Wringe kept away, and was two or
three hundred yards to the westward
of the committee boat when Reliance.
coming underneath the stern of the
committee boat. crossed the line at
11.00.27 (unofllclall. Captain Wringe
held away too long before coming
about‘and heading for the line, with
the result that he was under the stern
of the committee boat when the handi-

cap gun was fired. two minutes after

the start. He ran up on to the line. on
the starboard tack. and then came
about and headed for the Jersey share
on the port tack. it looked as if he
had lost about. twenty-five seconds by
slowness in reaching the line. Both
boats broke out babyjlbtopsails Just
before the start.

Then minutes after the start they
were heading-for the Jersey shore. on
the port tack, Reliance la the lead. but
apparently not gaining very much on
the Shamrock in the light air. The
wind had dropped to about live knots.
and a thick haze began to set in from
sea.

After twelv minutea'; eel fig it
seemed as if amrock was oidlng
just as high and footing nearly as fast
as Reliance. Reliance was still leading
by a‘ quarter of sinus.

‘ ._ yThe tack was a long one, both skip-

pers‘evldentiy feeling that they could
get a better slant of wind along the
Jersey shore than farther out to sea.
Front the Highlands It looked as if
Shamrock: was making a hater tight

Atlizzio the yachts had sailed about
one-third of the distance to the first
mark and Reliance was leading by
about a quarter of a mile.

sailed very slowly. scarcely more than
four or live miles an hour.

At 11:42:30 Reliance tacked to star-
board, having heid the port tack for
may minutes. Shamrock held on un-
i.“ she got well to weather of the Re-
liance's wake when she also tacked.

At 11:45 both boats were heading off
Jll the starboard tack, Reliance In the
lead. but the Shamrock pointing fully
as high. The wind begun to shift to
west of south and it looked as if the
boats would be able to turn the first
mark without another tack.

as the first one and the race was do.
