Jolly Yachtsmen.
The Encinal yacht cruise to Corte MADEIRA
Creek was participated In by nine of the white
squadron: the Little Ample, Emerald, Thetis,
TheIma, Fearless, Adella, Red Imp, Nettie and
Fora.
The Little Annie, under Commodore Leonard,
set sail twenty-four hours in advance of the
remaining eight yachts and reached the objec-
tive point at the same time as those leaving the
clubhouse. Light and battling winds were the
causes delaying the Little Annie, which had
aboard the big tent and other camping para
phernelia 10 make things comfortable for the
arriving party.
The yacht Emerald, as usual, plays her part
IN the drama, and her position Is like that Of
leading lady. She was under command of two
captains, Messrs Stephenson aud Woodrum.

watery grave by his companions. The cause
of his being thrown overheard from the Emer-
AIDS deck Is not known, but he was twice
f1shed out OF the bay on The cruise. One of the
crew had narrow escape from death through
one OF his feet becoming entangled in the hal
liardS, and as the big main sail was let go he
was drawn TO the masthead suspended by one
foot. head down. He was relieved from his
dangerous position at the earliest moment, and
declares he will be more careful next time.
The Fearless came in for her share OF diff
cutles, having lost her anchor. IL being thrown
overheard Without the usual attachments TO the
Thorn, after trying all the nautical maneuver-
Ing at his command. was compelled to get over
board and lift his vessel off the rocks. She
was found TO be leaking badly, aud the crew
were kept busy all night pumping her out to
keep her at1oat. They did not arrive at Corte
MADEIRA until after the festivities of evening
were all over.
