6~p. m. At 1890 wind hauled back 70
aft and then We had to take I'm fore
staysail and balloon jib. Wind has
freshened up a good deal and should
1t hold for "a hours We Will make a
good run. No yachts In sight.
~ midnight. At $3.50 wind had fresh
ened up to all of 40 miles an hour and
still aft, with sails wing and wing, and
very heavy seas running, making yacht
very hard to steer and hard work at
the wheel Yacht making good speed
At times we lose control of yacht and
the main boom jibs. but we pull out
all right.
G a. m. 25th. Have had a fair, good
30-mile wind all night and making
good time. and If wind continues till Il

s p. m. Had good breeze all the af-
ternoon and making good time. Mosh-
err said that by this time we ought to
sight Maui. for all we had to go to
make Honolulu at IL o'clock noon was
1877 miles. and We have fully run off
since noon all OF 40 miles. but think
that we will see oahu at daybreak.
IL midnight. We still have a good
breeze and making good time, but too
black to see any land.
6 a. IN. 26th. Much to our surprise,
we found no land in sight, for accord
ing to our position We fully should be
off Diamond Head light. Mosher says
that the chrom. must be out. but we
will soon know. No yachts I'm sight
but ! fully believe that they are both
in and that we have gone by the is
lands, and In that case we are out OF
the race. have spoken to Mosher and
asked him what he intends to do, as
have by this time fully run It's miles
and we only have 1877 miles to make
Honolulu. Course was SW. and has
been since 8 p. m. last night Changed
course SWS. 1-2 S. at p. IN.
~ noon 26th. 18th day. Took obser-
vatiOns. No land in sight andSthings
commence to look serious, as our navi-
gator can not tell just where We are.
At 2:30 p. m. picked up Molokai OFF our
port bow, so now we know where we
are. Blowing very strong trades and
heavy seas running and wind abeam.
stood over for Molokai light, as II was
impossible to run with the high seas
and wind, which must have been fully
50 miles an hour. AT 1880 was abeam
of Molokai light and about miles from
shore, then we jibed malnsail over and
set our course for Diamond Head light.
At $3.50 passed large island steamer
on port side and also at the same time
schooner. $40 took In foresail on ac-
count of not drawing; running too
free with mainsail; heavy seas. We
set on our signals when OF Koko Head
and also when light was abeam, which
was at li:20 p. m. and there we got an
answer from lookout. We continued
our course until of the bell buoy and
there heave To for the rest OF the night,
and thanks to the Almighty God for
our safe trip and that We arrived all
right, and glad that We are back to
dear old Honolulu, where We can see
some sunshine, We have made the trip
In 10 days II hours and 20 minutes, COW
