the Lawrence started ahead. gently pulling the

hosting her anchor. took tho rear Of
the procession. Az soon a. the Sham
rock vaa under vay all OF the Yachts
in tho vicinity saluted. some By dipping
their fags. some BY whistles and one bv
firing a gun. Tho burree of the ROYAL Ulster
Yacht Club flying from the Tiger mast on
the Shamrock was dipped In acknowledge
msut of tho salutss. The Yacht was almost
dismantled. Her main mast was beld in posi-
ton by two shrouds, the lead to the m ast head
and the ratlines were still nm. Tho Tiger
mast was also secured By two shrouds. On
deck there was a little dunnaRe which the
crew had taken out of the hold ready To transfer
to the tender. The Shamrock lowed very easily.
At no time was the hawser taut. and the yacht
made very little fuss as she went through tho
water. Once when the Lawrence slowed down
to allow somo vessel to pass ahead. the Sham
rock shot forward very fast. and almost ran on
TO the Lawrence
The trip across the harbor vas like a
triumphal procession. Every craft that came
near saluted. and there was a constant sound
ing OF whistles. The flag on the Shamrock WINS
dipped to every salute and the ouarterm aster
was kept busy. Capts. Hoparth and WrinRe
watched their boat carefully, and they. with the
crew. seemed to be we'll pleased with the re-
ception that was given them. Mate Rowe was
at the tiller OF the Sham rock and he steered the
boat carefully 40 that no undue strain might
