An Inspiring Sight.
All three yachts were carrying top

livelier and to make the racers show
their bottoms prettily as they surged
over the green rollers in grand style, to

But while these duels in steamship were
taking place, the Satanita, most cleverly

Nearing the Nab the positions of the
yachts were: Satanita first, Britannia
second and Vigilant third. Spinnakers
were spread to the breeze as the three

northwards, ran for the Nab lights. From
the Nab lights it was a reacn westward

The Vigilant drew out after passing the
spit and before two miles more had been
covered was over a quarter of mile

freshening and favored the Satanta,. en-
