FRIEND - line or two, am sure will be n c.
| ceptable In regard TO the Cambria and ourselves.
We have had trial OF speed with her on our pas
sage from Cowes TO this port. She left Cowes on the
25th at seven A. NJ passing us at anchor OF the
club house, the wind fresh from the southvard. We
left the club house at quarter past four p. NJ. OF
the same day, with the same breeze. We fetched
close In by the BIZ OF Portland, when the wind
headed u.s. We worked down with Short
tacks close in shore, cheating the tide as
| much as possible. At quarter to twelve
o'clock p. NJ. of the 2eth we came up
under the Cambrias lee ana she tackled aud crossed
our bow OF the "ongships." In two short tacks we
weathered her, and at six OF the 27th the wind
fresh from north to north northeast, with quite O
little jump Of sea on, we made her bearing south
about three miles, and she tackled after us. At half
past seven r. NJ. OF the 9th she was hull down clear
to leeward. We tackled several times during tho
the mouth OF Cork harbor. There being strong ebb
tide running and the wind light, we took steam In
the anchoaSH the Cambria in sight dead
navins beaten her fifteen miles dead to
o niles She She ayea the same day
at halrpast one p NJ, being beaten by US GA
five minutes. DO not think, however, that she did
her best as all hands on board OF her were strangers
she having Just shipped new crew. We sprung
hal been shifted aft three and half feet and raked
two making Ave and half feet in all, While the
| rigging had only been shifted two feet; cOnse-
| quently when the boat gave jump in the sea the
mast brought up against the partners and before
the after sroud could take the strain u sprung.
This done before Captain Samuels took charge.
He has pad the mast well fshcd, the rigging shifted
ar and preventer backs'ay added, when makes II
stronger than ever; and, II not bothered nv cams
we expect to make the passage In less titan twenty
days, and are confident that we shall beat the
Cambria.
