their glasses.
Capt. Hamilton, navigating officer
of the Shamrock, stated to a press

been towed about two-thirds of the
way from the Azores.
Prevailing winds from the south

the way. They got into the tail end

Looks Very Fast.

She looks the fastest boat ever
turned out in British waters. One of
her beauties is Watson's peculiar tilt
of the counter. There is no fiatness
or tumble home along the top sides.
and her great overhang gives her the
appearance of speed. She was painted
green. like the Irish knights first chal-
lenger, but the paint on the sides of
her upper works had been scraped off
in many places by the seas she had en-
countered, and these spots showed the
manganese bronze of which she is con-
structed. She raised her anchor and
took the tow line from the Haddon at
$3.50.
As she came up the bay the crew of
the Shamrock in dark blue sweaters
and white trousers and hats lounged
along her deck. disdaining oilskins to
protect them from the dashes of rain
that fell at intervals
