sells up, and at given signal they dritted
down to the starting point. The weather at
that time was not favorable, the clouds betok-
eniDg rain, and there was scarcely breath of

cluster, the Ethel leading, followed by the
Alarm and the Ray. The wind gradually in
creased to wholesale breeze and making the
