ANEMONE
IN STRAITS
TUFTS Yacht Is Racin g
to Beat the
Starter.

According to the latest advices re-
ceived, the schooner yacht Anemone
owned by c. K. Tut of the South
Coast Yacht Club of Los Angeles
which is on its way to the Coast from
New York, was at Punta Arenas, in the
Magellan straits, on February %. She
left New York on December IA, so that
she has sailed $500 miles between the
two points in seventy days. 1t will
take about the same time to cover the
distance between the southern point OF
South America and San Pedro. The
yachtsmen interested in the ocean race
10 Honolulu are watching the move
ments of this yacht. as she is entered
in the contest, and it is seen that she
will have a close shave in making the
line when the signal for the start is
given.
The following is taken from the New
York Herald of February %:
Mannings Yacht Agency. of this city,
was notified by cable on Friday morn
ing thai the auxiliary ketch rugged
yacht Anemone, which the agency sold
to Mr.. Charles L. Tut of Colorado
Springs, has arrived at Punta Arenas
(Sandy Point, Chill.
As this is in the Magellan Straits and
the yacht sailed from New York on
December IA, she has covered the dis
dance of $3.50 nautical miles in prac-
tically seventy days.
The Anemone is bound for San Di-
ego, Cal, and Mr. Tut. who is a MEM
Der OF the South Coast Y. c., of that
State. has entered her for the trans
pacific yacht race, from San Francisco
to Honolulu, a matter of 2100 nautical
miles, in early May. 1t is hoped that
she viii reach her destination in ample
time to allow her to thoroughly refit
for the contest
Captain Henry Lindeberg is the mas
ire of the Anemone and her crew num-
bers ten all told
The Anemone was built in 1899 by
Camper & Nicholson, at Gosport, and
is n2 feet over all, 81 feet on the water
line, 10 feet 3 inches beam, u feet 3
inches deep and II feet 10 inches
draught. She has quadruple expansion
engines, with cylinders 6 inches,
inches. 10 1-2 inches and IA inches in
diameter. by IL inches stroke Her
sail spread is also liberal. The late
John Murray Mitchell purchased the
Anemone abroad. and she arrived at
New York in the spring of 1902
A recent San Francisco Chronicle has
the following to say about the trans
pacific race:
So far as can be seen at present the
starters in the proposed yacht race
from San Francisco to Honolulu will
be the schooner Lurline, formerly
owned by John d. Spreckels, but now
the property of H. H. Sinclair of Pasa-
dena; the schooner Aggie, owned by
James V. Coleman, and Fulton G. Ber-
rvs sloop Mike. II is expected that
Swanson of the pilot-boat
Lady Mine will sail the Aggie, which |
has had many contests with the Lur- |
line, in most of which Swanson was !
on board the Lurline. The Aggie was /
built for Joseph Macdonough, father of
Joseph M. Macdonough. who for two |
successive periods of five years has /
given $3.50 each year TO provide
trophies for the regatta of the Pacific
Interciub Yacht Association The Ag-
gle and Lurline, being schooners, are
" ell suited for open ocean sailing, but
the Mike will need to have her spars
shortened and her canvas reduced.
She Will probably be rugged as
