UB 1 E LAUNCH SPOILED.
The Cup Defenders Cradle stuck In
the Mud-FIn In Danger.

N 81
QUINCY, May 7, 1S95.-Whnt promised
to be a picturesque launch by moon
light last evening of General Paine's
cup defender Jubilee. from the old Nc
Intire & Kirk yard at Quincy Point,
was spoiled by an accident when the
yacht was almos af1oat.
Everything was going smoothly. and
the Jubilee was within a foot or so Of
being once more water-borne, when the
cradle in which she was being launched
stuck in the mud and refused to move.
An effort to pull the boat off sidewise
by a line from the bow resulted only in
giving the yacht a slight list to port,
and then the falling tide snapped the
supports from the cradle IN the port
side. and she listed to port until her rail
was within a foot of the water.
At one O'Clock this morning her port
bilge touched bottom. Captain New
comb thought she would rest easily
and not damage her fin. He expects
her TO rise with the incoming tide and
thinks h can then be pulled afoat by
the tug.
The danger to the boat now lies in
the straining or breaking of the fin, or
In her failure to rise with the tide.
