there was a desperate race all down the Eyot.
the Westminster rowing being superb. At the bottom of
the Eyot the Etonian had got nearly clear, and at Hammer-
smith-bridge they were two lengths ahead. Here West-
minster put on a spurt and drew up a bit, but their
*enmesh' went away and led by five length',
at the Soap Works. The Westminster. now responded to
the coxswain's call of "fetch ber up," and away they went,
&creaming the lead at every stroke. They could not, how-
