The Idler and Hope held on their cour,a

some minutes.
There was very pretty sight when the |
Pilgrim and Stranger rounded, as thew |
were not second apart. On the reach ia |
Mission ROCK water sails were cracked on |
and the 1dler and Flash set their spin |

and had to be led well forward and used as |

set big balloon jib that brought her along |
at lively pace.
