Bristol, r. L.. April 1.-THE setting w

higher than that of the Constitution. The

The double bobstays give every indica-

Constitution. but the ropes and cables are
certainly Of greater strength.
A number IF new wrinkles which are o.:
special interest have been introduced
about the deck of the new yacht. The
most important one is a plan to store
away the main sheet below deck, instead
of on deck. as is usually the custom.
There has been fitted in the main deck,
near the position of the main sheet tray,
eler, a curved iron tube protruding
through the deck and of sufficient capac-
ity to allow the main sheet to pass.
When the sheet is rounded in, it will not
be laid along the deck because a winch set
with crank handles and worked by two
men, has been stationed below and the
rope is, to be coiled away until each time
as the boat starts on. the rum down the
wind. The clutch on the winch will then
be released and the sheet will escape
through the fair leader to the deck as free
ly, as though the rope were placed in the
customary way. p,
: This new plan will serve to keep the
decks clear, thereby giving more room for
the sailors to work and operate the sail.
II is evident that a similar plan is to be
carried out on the forward deck. to take
care of the headsails and probably some
of the halyards. 90

With lightning rapidity the flames in

the Shamrock II was similarly dis
masted in her trial.

The hull of the Shamrock III was not
damaged. The mast went overheard in
one solid piece. 1t was thought at one
time that there was only one break
which was about seven feet above the
deck The big spar with it's weight of
canvas became heavier, however, owing
to the water in it, and the mast again
buckled, its head going down till it
rested on the bottom.
During the work Of raising the mast
it buckled again, owing to the weight
of the canvas, making three distinct
breaks. Hammers and chisels had to
be used to cut away the metal gearing.
By4 o'clock in the afternoon the cahl-
lenger had been cleared of Wreckage
and was afterwards towed into the
harbor. Sir Thomas stayed on board
the wreck the whole time and only left
her when the work was completed.
Sir Thomas had narrow escape. He
was thrown down the hatchway with a
sailor and fell with such force as to
