THE YACHT CRESCENT AND HER
CAPTAIN.

The sloop yacht Crescent, Captain
Hendrick. is in port for short time,
and lovers of seaserpent yarns and
those who have never seen a mer-
maid" have now their chance, as Cap
tain Hendrick, in addition to having
the crack yacht of her class on the
coast. is n charming narrator of the
fabulous marine and has seen more and
told more about it than any sailor on
the coast. The Crescent bears the PEN
nant of the Passaic Yacht Club, Of
which her cantain is u member, and
she lies in the Roanoke dock. She is a
little wonder, but 81 feet long, 9~feet
beam and 20 feet draught.
She carries mainsail. jib and spin
maker. Her main boom Is 25 feet long,
gaff 10 feet and hoist 10 feet and her
splnnaker is nearly as large as her
mainsail. She also carries 1000 pounds
ballast which, considering her load of
canvas. appears very necessary. The
craft is of white cedar, copper rivited
and sound as n trivet.
The captain humorously stated yes
terday that he made the trip from Old
Point to Norfolk in one hour. five
minutes and fifteen seconds and could
have beaten this considerably but he
had to stop to light his pipe and an
chored several times to throw the lead
