THE DRUlD's EXPERIENCE.
A Small Crafts Trial. in the Lat. Storm


Capt. @. Robinson of Harpswell, has
returned from his trip to Boston to which
port he took the little yacht Druid.
The boat Is owned by Mr.. G. A. Brack.
EFT of that city, and he had engaged the
captain to bring her to that port. The
boat is 20 feet long, 8 feet beam, drawing
about IS inches of water and carrying
oonter board. At 5 O'Clock one after
noon this week he arrived at Cape Por-
poise, passed the night and set sail in
the morning with the wind northeast
and the weather threatening. Before
reaching Boon Island the wind being
so fresh, the captain put two reefs in
the sail, the jib having been furled. OFF
the Isles of Shoals he dropped the peak
setting the sail, leaving the boat virtual
ly under bare poles. The sea which had
been making up all the time was now
running fearfully high and the captains
position was hard one. AS he stood in
the little space used as cockpit sur
rounded by a rail only eight inches in
height the cold waves would occasional
ly 1rench him to the skin. He tried to
get into Gloucester but finding it impos-
sible to do SO he bore away for Salem.
When near Bakers island he saw a
yacht heading for Salem and followed
the craft safe into port. AS she came to
anchor be ran up to her and asked
permission to stay on board that night.
The yacht was the Helena and was COM
manded by G. A. Morse. He had seen
the Druid off the island and thought
strange what had brought so small
craft out In such heavy weather. To
Mr.. Morse the captain related his adven.
ture and the gentlemen cordially invited
him on board and gave him dry clothing.
In speaking of the trip he says he has
been seafaring man for AZ years and
in all his experience he never rounded
Cape Ann in such rough weather. At
times he said he thought the little boat
could not live another minute or that
the mast wouldEbe carried away and that
she must fill and sink. He returned
home Friday and has no desire to take
such a flying trip in 80 frail craft
again.
