was from the northwest. The S0lent was studded
with vessels Of all kinds-everything that would
float was out for the day--and scores Of pleasure
seeking men and women trusted their lives to very
sorts Of craft manned by still more ques
tionahlc seamen. The signal for starting was fred
at ten A. NJ. The Arrow was irss OF, followed
by the Psyche, Dione, Condor, Julia and Olmara,
which vessels had the weather stations and were
consequently enabled to fetch their first mark; all
the Others had to make short tack. The vessels
rounded the first mark which was only about two
miles from the start so close to one another that 1t
was impossible to time them. AS soon as they
