sHAMRocK,s NARROW ESCAPE.
SycamOre's Seamanship Saw Her
Through the SqualI.

SyCAmOFo'8 SoamamSn1p saw Her
Through the Squall.
New York, Sept. 13.-In all of her ten
trial spins in these waters and in the
sixteen or more on the Clyde, the Sham
rock IT. and her crew never had more
exciting experience than they had during
ten minutes yesterday afternoon, when the
yacht was caught in a fierce squall that
came out of the west and blew at the
rate of fifty-four miles an hour, as re-
corded at Sandy Hook weather station.
The squall came so suddenly that the
men had no time to shorten sail, except
to take in forestay sail, so that the yacht
had to take it with the whole main sail
Jib and working gaf top sail set. This.
1t was estimated, was about $4,000 square
feet of sail She was off the bell buoy
at Sandy Hook, bound in after short
spin as far as the middle of Gedney chan
mel.
Just before the sQuall struck, her sheets
had been trimmed in, SO that the Sham
rock would weather the red buoys on the
north side of the channel. She had just
filled away on the port tack when the
squall hit her on the lee side, putting her
aback and in irons. The water as far
as the eye could reach was feather white
and the wind fairly screamed through her
shrouds as she gathered sternway. Things
began to look very serious for the chal-
lenger. Captain Sycamore never lost his
head, but shifted her helm, and then, as
the yacht began to gather headway she
felt the full force of the wind. Down she
went, until her rail was out Of sight, and
the water was boiling up around her
hatches The tall mast was leaning at an
angle of between 35 and 45 degrees, and
there was not a man who watched her
but expected to see the mast go by the
board. Gradually she righted and forged
ahead, but a new danger threatened.

Cresceus. the champion trotter of the
