Yesterday the Corinthian Yacht Club
went IN out of the wet for the season.
The secure Information of this pretty
white fotilla while the fierce sou'easters
are ripping up the bay is quiet lagoon
west of Tiburon. AT the close of the
yachting seasons the clumsy old draw
bridge that spans the mouth of the little
estuary is laboriously lifted and the fleet
crowds into the basin.
The housing of the yachts IS always an
occasion of considerable interest and cere-
mony with the jolly Corinthians, who
assemble on the "bridge of signs" to bid
farewell to each craft on her retirement
where she will sleep in her bed Of good
soft mud till the vernal equinox.
When the draw, hauled up by four big
horses, was out of the way the Secret,
Cisne, Mignon, Flirt, Aloha, Cornelia,
Lois, Feu Follet, Frida, Queen, Ram bier,
Fieetwing, Volunteer, Pinta, Globe,
Guinevere, May, Ella and Magic, followed
by numb Der of launches and arks, towed
into the lagoon. Port Captain .Keefe SUI
perintended the passage of the yachts and
with the exception of number of bumps
and scratches caused by the swift tide
bearing the vessels against the piling the
task was successfully accomplished.
Several of the larger yachts, the Mike,
Clara, Eolus, Truant, Emma, Harpoon,
Speedwell and Thelma, will be laid up in
their winter quarters elsewhere. The only
affair on the Corinthian programme now
till the opening day in the latter part OF
March is a game dinner on New Years
day at the Tiburon clubhouse.
