the fercest hurricane that ever swept
an ocean.
The crew OF the America was made
lp OF a dozen men. two mates and our
skipper, Capt Brown. The skipper
was as fine a sailor as ever clapped
my eyes on. The crew was composed
Of frst-class material too.
When the crew of the America was

we were TOUR minutes and six seconds
ahead OF the nearest one Of our com.
petitors.
"At the finish we were way in the
lead There wasn't any second. at
least so the story goes. But OF course
you've heard that story The writer
said he hadn't so Capt Hoffman re-
lated it. "Well, he said. 'it's a pret.
ty old story now. 1t relates how the
queen was told Of the result Of the
race and her inquiry, What boat was
second2 ?" There was no second. your
majesty, was the reply. To tell the
truth. the second boat was so far in
the rear that we really could not make
out which one 1t was when we crossed
the finish line
"Our boat was very much the best
craft in the race. There is no doubt
about that. When we crossed the line
there was mighty little cheering from
anyone save the men on the America.
Our crew went daft over the win.
They cheered and cheered and cheered
and they danced around ike Inians.
THE owners Of the America gave
every member Of the crew a han
some money present for winning the
cup. Nothing OF the sort had been
promised TO us as an incentive for
supreme effort, but the owners were
wild with joy and extremely liberal
and generous.
Not long after our winning Of the
Queens cup. now the Americas cup.
