end OF the jlbboom to the bow Of the
yacht carried away The jib few up,
but one OF our fellows crawled forward
and held it in place while we brought
the yacht up into the wind and ef.
fected temporary repairs.
Realizing that 1t was useless for us
10 undertake to continue the race. we
headed for home. The water was very
rough and every sea came over the
side. Two OF US were constantly ball
Ing and with difficulty kept the yacht
clear. The wind increased after we
headed for home. and we soon found
1t necessary to take a reef in the main
sail. We came about for this purpose,
and In doing so lost our bearings In
the fog. II was impossible to see fur
ther than few yards and we did not
know which way to go.
Judging from our position when we
finally brought up, we must have head
ed for the city until about opposite
Smith Point. and then sheered OFF
straight up the middle channel. We
sailed on until We ran onto sand bar,
and to our surprise found we were on
a seining ground. We pulled the rud-
der out of the yacht and hauled her
up on the sand. and then hunted up
the men. There was a launch at the
ground and the captain brought us
home. We grounded on the sands
above Tongue Point"
When the Zephyr failed to show up
several launches were sent out in
search of her. II was reported at
headquarters that the yacht was last
seen at the extreme western stake, and
the searching parties headed in that
direction. Some of the launches
grounded In the fog. The friends Of the
hapless mariners were frantic with
fear that they had been drowned, and
by many who know what may be en-
countered below the city 1t was believ-
ed the men had been lost. All five were
worn out when they arrived in the city,
and every man aboard confessed that
he never expected to again reach land.
The Zephyr is still at the seining
ground.

that Denver stands for mining and Il

OF real argument. The hall was In
