but the Crew was Rescued.
The annual regatta of the New York
Yacht Racing Association was sailed yes
terday on the lower Bay. Sixty boats
participated. Over a hundred had enter
ed, but the threatening weather and pros
pective squalls deferred many All the
Jersey City and Hudson County Clubs
were represented. Accidents were nu-
merous and the Mosquito of this city
was capsized, but the crew was rescued
by the police boat. She was caught in a
puff while rounding the buoy off Swim
burne Island and went over. Fortunately
the police boat Patrol, with Superintend-
ent Byrnes and Commissioners Kirwfn,
Sheehan and Murray on board, was close
at hand. The Patrol was run alongside
and half a dozen life preservers We're
thrown, to the Mosquitoes crew, which
were either struggling in the water or
clinging to the bottom of their overturned
boat A line was then made fast to the
/ Mosquito, and the shipwrecked mariners
were quickly hauled aboard the police
boat little the worse for their ducking.
The Superintendent then gave them a
first mates nip of some first rate whisky
all around, and, as one of them after
wards remarked, he was willing to be up
set every day for whisky like that. The
rescued men were Frederick Engerman,
Robert Miller, Louis Fowler, George Gill
bert, Julius Tucker and John Winters.
The Mosquito, whose mast was broken
off when she upset, was then taken in
tow by the Patrol and towed up to Fort
Wadsworth. The. Coquette of the New
ark Bay Y. c., had her mast torn out
and was towed to the Erie Basin. n
