start excitement ran high. The POOmai-

condition, but there WIS a determined
Hook about their opponents which evil

ton. When the pistol was fired, the
Myrtles got away first, and took slight
lead. At the lighthouse they were half Il
length ahead but the Poomaikelanis were
pulling beautiful stroke and making their
boat travel fast. Passing the first buoy
