day. or course, the lighter sails and
spars were taken ashore for minor al
terations. but the main portion OF the
rig remains intact. Mr.. Iselin went on
board this morning and had general over
sight of the operations. The main boom
was swung overheard TO decide what ef-
feet II had on the set of the boat while
she was at anchor. Soon afterwards the
mainsai was hoisted and dried out in

There has been considerable refitting
done on the masthead during the past
few days. especially at the spreaders,
showing that unusual care is being exer-
cised to prevent any accident at that
point.
To preclude the possibility OF the
spreaders bending or bucklng backward,
a wire stay was this morning attached TO
the spreaders and the masthead strut
The wire stay is hauled taut and leads
from half way out on each spreader arm
inboard TO the tip end OF the strut, wnere
IL is fastened. The wire connection be-
tween the strut and the spreaders brings
the min closer union with each other,
giving added strength to the topnamper.
II is not yet known whether the Reliance
will return here or remain at Newport
tonight after her regular afternoon spin.

BRINGS BACK LIFE.
Or. Claims That Massage Is Wonderful 10
Its ReylWfying Effects.

New York. Nav ia physician or this
city claims to have made the discovery
that a patient can be massaged back to
life lie recently announced this method
at a meeting OF the Academy of Medicine.
The doctor has been experimenting
along this line for a year or more on dogs
and many cases have been entirely sue
cessful. In one case dog whose heart
had stopped beating for about quarter
of an hour was revived by the treatment
and lived for several hours afterward.
The method is TO make a small incision
between the ribs without cutting the
bone The fingers are then thrust into
the opening behind the heart. A few
gentle presures on the heart Is all that
is required. 1t is claimed, TO revive the
circulation. In conjunction with this
process is an artificial respiration pro-
duced with a pump. A tube ds attached
70 a stump and inserted in the patients
throat as far as the wind pipe.

The tests OF the boat at the present

establish just how close the Reliance can

disposal. especially the lighter gear aioft.

are assured she can hold her own on this
