They had starcely proceeded a hundred yards or so when
Gale, by accident, capsized. Yellow and Meek, whose pato
throughout had been even and good, rowed so evenly with
blue and white right to the finish that the umpire decided
it was a dead heat between the second and third buts, and
it was arranged that both should take places in the final heat.

but, owing to running into a boat, threw himself out of his
