up the rear of the mournfu1 procession
with his yacht Erin. As they passed
the excursion boats there were some
faint cheers, but the crew did not an
Swer them.
Sir Thomas ranged alongside at once
and spoke encouragingly 20 Captain
Hogarth, who seemed to feel the acci-
dent keenly- 1t is to be remarked that
the Shamrock was not carrying as
much sail as Columbia. when her top
mast broke; for she had not raised her
baby 1ib. Just before the sail went
over Shamrock was seen to ease off
very much from the wind and it is prob
able that Captain HOgarth either heard
the mast crack or was afraid of it. She
was jumping in the lumpy sea at the
time and the strain must have been
great. Columbia, evidently afraid of
a similar accident, Immediately took in
her baby jib and later her stay sail to
avoid the strain of the puffy wind and
lumpy sea, but proceeded on her course.
She made a lOnk tack to starboard,
running toward shore after the accident
to the Shamrock, and then at 11:5S,
gybed and tackled to port under the
agreement to finish the course in the
time limit if possible.
At 1915 the wind had dropped some
what, but still there was enough to put
her over the course in time, although
the sportsmen about hoped that she
could not finish and the race would be
declared off
