WAS spent in stacking up the boats. The
weather was rather unpropitious, but the
hopeful yachtsren thought it augured
favorable weather for the cruise. The
boats from this city did not get away until
late in the afternoon. The cutter Sea
Belle got away early in the morning for
Pine Orchard, where ex-Commodore 81. A.
Seymour was taken on board, and pro-
ceeded to Thimble Islands. Vice Comma
