All the time, according to Captain
Mosher, the yacht was lying near the
bell buoy. He further states that the
lights of the launches We're seen and
that signals were set for them, but
they failed to come aboard. Clarence
Macfarlane states that he saw the
lights of the launches and thinking that
they would be alongside soon he went
below to get something to eat. The
launches however failed to materialize
and the crew patiently waited until
morning in order to come ashore.
Those aboard the launch state posi-
lively that the yacht was not in the
neighborhood of the bell buoy. They
say that no signals We're displayed and
the disappointment was all the more
aggravating because Mrs. Macfarlane
was on board and wanted to see her
husband. The disappointment WIS
strong.

ence Macfarlane, DR.. Herbert, Miss
Herbert, T. W. Hebron, Louis Vetters,

Captain Macfarlane in speaking Of
the race said that the cup he brought
home with him was worth the trip.
Clarence Macfarlane stated they eX-
pected the La Paloma would have been
in yesterday morning, but the chrono-
meter was wrong making the observa-
tions taken, off, and they were not real
ly as near home Monday night as they
thought they were.
The La Paloma in the opinion Of the
sea captains along the water front
made a very creditabe showing, none
of them expecting the boat before Fri
day,

day morning." said Captain Macfar-
lane this morning, but our chrono-
meter was off and We sailed so miles
out of our course. on Monday at noon
we took our observations and we had
1874 more miles 10 come. We were sure
Of getting i'm early Tuesday morning
and went to bed with the expectation
of being i'm the channel at daybreak
But when daybreak came we could
sight no land. We were very much
surprised and taken back by that, but
we kept sailing ahead which we know
