The Collision of the Yachts.

III WAS NOT A SHARP TRICK ON THE PART OF
THE PURITAN AFTER ALL.
One of the owners of the Puritan, whose
modesty would not allow of his consenting to
have his name used, said TO a Tribune reporter
i'll regard to the accident: 81 am grieved that
the papers should have thought that we were
trying sharp Yankee trick Ii was nothing
of the kind. We got into tight place and could
not get out of it. The accident was the result
OF hesitation on our part. | wanted to 90 astern
of the Genesta and come about on her weather
side. Then we would have had good position.
We made motion to 60 to leeward of the cut
ter and then come on our course again. Then
we saw we were IN box, but there was moth
ing for it but to hold our course. As to our
trying to pass ahead of the Genesta and then
come about on her weather bow and so cross
the line, it would have been impossible even if
we had desired to do such thing. for we would
have run into the lightship. There was a
beastiy tide, which was setting us right on to
the light>hp. We would have had to go away
beyond the lightshp if we had got safely by the
Genesta's bows before we could have come
about, and could not have crossed the line in an
advantageous position. The Genesta's captain
when he saw that collision was imminent, put
his helm up Immediately. If he had not done
so he would have cut through our starboard
quarter"
DR.. Bryant said: 'sThere is no question but
that the Genesta bore away and tried to avoid
running US down. | do not think we could
have gone under the Genesta's stern if we had
attempted to do it. | believe we would have
run her down. There was only one thing for
US to do and that was TO lay on our ends and
trust to the Genesta's bearing away or let her
run into us. If the Genesta had borne away
soon enough, the collision would have been
avoided; but then, you see, they did not know
what we were going TO do, for we made first a
motion TO 60 astern of the cutter and then came
on our course again. We were in tight place
before we knew it, and were fortunate to get
off with no more serious injury. / do not think
that our leach rope tore out the bowsprit of the
Genesta, but the swell caused our boom to lift
and brought the bowsprit of the Genesta down
on it at the same time, which caused he tearing
oat of the bowsprit."

on Thursday, and the prices were a
little lower They sold at from 40 to
go cents per bushel. The quality was
not such as to justify heavy ship
ments, and the majority of the pack
ers and shippers are holding off for
better stock. The receipts of barreled
oysters were light and not up to the
demand. There were very few suita-
bic for raw box trade, and all that
fit for use for restaurants and hotel
purposes were soon taken.
