Meanwhile Mr. and Mrs. J. Wil-

The host hit a rock off Calf Pasutre

repairs have been made during the

yesterday.
The "Mohawk if." a 45-foot sea
cruiser. is now on the ways for slight
repairs. It is one of the trimmcst

ness in the Bates shipyard are stop-
ping to admire it.
The present rage with yachtemen
and amateur boatsmen seems to run
toward speedboats. The interest re-
calls the days. years ago. when Nor.
walk was famous for its speed-crafts.
There are very few of the older boats

alroyed in the East Norwalk Yacht
