To make the trip from New York
to Isle of Pines, Cuba, in a 20 ton
schooner, all alone save for a mascot

stunt accomplished by Capt. Ralph 8.
Bradley who is well-known in Bar
Harbor and who writes of his experi-
ences to R Henry Keliam with
whom he was formerly employed. Cap-
tain Bradley started on his trip from
New York on Nov. 11 and on Dec. 28
he arrived at Los Audios Isle of
Pines, where he has a large fruit or-
chard and raises much garden truck
during his winter south.

l lie was for many years a resident
of South Norwalk, and partly fitted
out for the. trip here.

icd for 13 years sailing Henry Lane.

just started to reef the mainsail when
I heard a bell ring and looking to
windward I saw a bell buoy which
iwas the sea buoy marking the off

nearly 25 miles from shore. I lost
‘no time in getting the “Bishop"slart-

miles up the Cape Fear river. The

1 Feb. 11, 1915.
IMr. It. Ilenry Kellam,

' Dear Friend:——.

i suppose you are curious to hear
just how I got along and could think
of looking such a trip all alone. It
seems to be all in the day's work for
me. I have been sailing yachts for
nearly twenty years, from the time
when owners thought that every
yacht had to have a crew (and I
usually did have crew enough to work
the boat properly) but the last few
years have seen a change. The
yachts are getting larger and the
crew is growing smaller, as a general
custom, so why should I not feel able
to take my own boat off on a little
trip under ‘the same conditions? I
was longer fitting out than I calcu-
lated on and did not get away from
Sandy Hook until Nov. lith, last. But
when I did start I had about every-
thing I would need on the way down
and .to work with when I got there.
I had a. row boat, a power dory and
an extra motor mounted on deck for
pumping if necessary, and which I
can install in the big boat now I am
here. any time I care' to; plenty of
tackle of all kinds, and some of .it
came in quite handy on the way, too.

I am not going to write you a book
on my trip so I will give you some
of the facts from the log book. -

Tuesday, Nov. 10th.—_Hammonds
Flats, N. Y.-Stocked up with water
and provisions, here this ‘ forenoon
and when the tide served after din-
ner, I got under way to go through
the Gate and get down into the lower
buy at Ulmer Park where I could
take the first northwester down the
beach. When I got to North Brother
Island at 6 p. m. the wind all drop~

gray fog came with it.

The next day, Sunday, the 15th.
it was still blowing “southeast and
thick outside so I stayed aboard and
enjoyed the bunk. Monday morning
ll went ashore and got a man to fix
up the boat. and we hauled into the
dock. Part of the stem and figure-
heud were gone and the rail and the
top was spread .apurt some but by
Saturday night I was all ready to
isail again. Next day the wind was
dead ahead so did not altemptto start.
I had a man engaged to go with me as
lfnr as Miami, Fla, but Monday morn-
‘ing he became afflicted with cold feet
and backed out. He said if 1 would
go through inside of Cape Hatteras
he would go. but that was not my
route. so at one p. In. I cast oil from
the dock and was on my way again,
line single reef northwester blowing
and by four p. m. I was in sight of
Fenwick island and next morning I
was abreast of Hog Island, a few
miles south of Cape Charles. There
the wind dropped out and I was all
day and well into the evening getting
in back of Cape Henry, where I cotild
anchor. I found a large fleet of our
war vessels here. I lay here next
day, which was Thanksgiving, no
wind at all. Next day the breeze
came light from the west. and I made
a start and held close to the beach
and got as far as Chrrituck Beach
light at four p. in. when the breeze
gave out. At eight p. m. it came up
again from the northeast and in-
creased in strength as the night were
along; had to take in foresail just
before daylight At 9:30 I was
abreast of Cape Hatteras light and
an hour or so later I was around the
Diamond Shoals and heading for
Cape Lookout 'l'ight vessel with a fair
wind. I carried sail only for a'short
time from this :point when one wind
squall followed another all the after-
noon, with a downpour of rain all the
time. I ran under bare poles until
about dark when I was able to set a
singlg reeled foresail. At ten 1). in.
I was in sight. of the light vessel
which was four or five miles inshore
of me as near as I could tell. Here
I changed'my course to run into Cape
Lookout light for an anchorage but
soon. after I changed my mind and
headed for Frying Pan Shoals light
vessel~tltirty miles, in and out again,
i thought would be. too much lost
time. I figured that I‘should see the
lightvvessel at noon the next day uni
less the~oondltions changed but the
wind kept in the northeast all night
and until alter noon the next day. I-

:to St. Lucia inlet. Here the breeze
lgot light and I was all day getting to

[after dark and I ran down by Palm

and took six hours sleep and next
day I got to Miami and anchored in
trout .of the city at 12th street at
noon. I went in through the new cut
at Ocean ch and beat across Bis~
cayne Bay which made the local boat-
meu sit up and take notice.

.i stopped here at Miami until Dec.
18th when I got my clearance papers
from the Custom House and made
sail at one o. m. I got about 15
miles into Hawk Channel where I
anchored for the night. I was about
three days getting down near Key
West where I had to leave for the
run ucross'to Cuba. Everything went.
well and I got 'to Cape San Antonio.

around the cape before it. got very
rough. Title is a pretty bad place at
any time. It is 120 knots‘to the Isle
of Pines from here and the wind is
always from the east, which was dead
ahead. I beat alLthe way down to
within 60 miles of Los Indios, I. of
P., and was considering how much
longer it would take to get there
when I saw a fine squall coming off
the Cuban shore from the west. Just
time clew up the topsoil and take in
the forestall when it reached me. It
did not strike very hard but ”in a
short time I had to lower the peak of
the mainsail to ease the boat and to
make it easier steering. I carried that

D.
no more wind until next morning, but
I had made about .40 miles of the 60
and was well satisfiednand I could get
some sleep too. It took me all the
next day and half the night to get to
Los Indies ‘and anchored at the big
dock" Everything seemed to be un-
usually well lighted up around the
dock and next day I found I was in
among a fleet of Cuban revenue cut-
ters and the President‘s yacht, with
that official and coronal "others on
board. I had had a great trip and I
think it was worth all the hard

CLEVELAND. 0., May 13.——Henry
lClews, the principal speaker at this
‘mornlng's session of ‘the World Court
Congress praised President Wilson’s
effort in behalf of peace.

Mr. Clews said he believed univer-
sal peace. through the application of
an international court of justice, would
ultimately prevail.

0f the present war, Mr. Clews said:

“After all is said as to the causes or
t the war, the fact remains that militar
f ism was its predominating motive, and
back of that was the personal ambition
of certain rulers and their immediate
following:"

The address of Emerson McMillin, of
New York dealt with a tentative plan
for the formation of proposed world
Ewart, based upon the population and
‘the commerce of nations. .-

Mr. McMillin predicted that in less
titan a generation after the inaugura-
tion of an international court, interna-
ltional laws will assume a stability to
1which it has' not hitherto attained.
“And in the court we propose," lie-said
“the sovereignty of every nation will
he recognized. The smallest nation
will stand on a footing level with that

 

i

"The European war has raised the
demand for an'international court to a
world-wide propagandaxbrganized and
unorganized," said‘Danys P. Myers, of
Boston, a member of the Board of DI-
rectors 'of the World Peace Founda-
tion, in an address following Mr. Me
Millin's: "If that world certainly be
resisted by governments, judgment of
many people is sadly at fault.

' “I cannot believe that the court of
arbitral Justice. as now proposed, can
fall. The world knows now no it never
know before, its need for international
lustice."
