rounded and, with sheets lifted and all head sails
drawing, trotted along for the Hammock. The Kate
came next, followed by the Maggie b. with the
Qui Vlve, Kaiser and Sophia bringing up the rear.
The Commodore alter rounding the Hammock,
trimmed down, and made long stretch along the
Western shore of Fishers Island. The Kate after
rounding made a short stretch on the starbOard

the Qui vive, and turned the Hammock only a few
seconds behind. The Sophia was still struggling
along gamely, but the water trine too
