have been better. There was q light breeze at
the start. then a fiat calm. then 1t freshened
and this was followed by a saual after which
there were transforms. thunder showers and
brisk winds.
The start was made at 1890 o'clock from q

she was footing faster and had better
position at the line. She gradually overhauled
the Amorita and soon became the leading
boat The Quisetta was last over. but after
crossing she made u short hitch to wndward
and gained quite an advantage by It, All
