SANGUiNE
Sinclair and Tut Each
Have the Winning
Graft.

There is some disappointment in To-
cal yachting circles that the Alameda
mails did not contain copy of the log
OF La Paloma. the receipt of which is
expected to clear up some of the puz-
zling points raised b, a study of the
SAILING course. Without the log it is
impossible to account for some features
of the course selected. Good news
came, however, from Captain Macfar-
lane as 10 his arrangements and from
the other yachting captains in the form
OF interviews in the California papers
concerning the race and the prospects
of the three crafts sure to participate,
these showing that the interest in the
event is increasing as the date of the
start draws nearer.
Charles l.. Tut, owner of the Anem-
one, states that he is of the opinion
that his yacht has a good chance of
winning the trophy The big yacht was
in command of Captain Henry Linde-
berg in her long run from New York
around the Horn, and in view of the
vicissitudes of La Paloma the following
account of the Anemone's voyage is
particularly interesting. 1t is given in
the words of Captain Lindeberg:
I'VE had some pretty rough wealth
er, especially when we entered the
Straits OF Magellan. We left New
York December Il and the first night
out we encountered very rough wealth
err L knew 1 had a good sea boat ana
the yacht behaved beautifully.
I'VE lost our topmast in the north
east trade winds on the Atlantic. This
was caused by q backstay giving
away. When we struck the straits
We encountered terrific head wind
for % days. Our power was not suf-
ficient to allow us to make any head
way and We resorted to sails.
THAT is where we losr one topmast,
which We We're lucky enough to fish
out of the sea. One incident of the
trip was that we crossed the equator
on the Atlantic side, January IS. left
the equator on the Pacific side Apri
10. Two weeks ago the gaff was CAR
ried away. We did not sight land
from the time we left the straits in
January till We sighted the Coronado
islands Monday night
PROVISIONS LOW.
I'VE ran very low of provisions and
I had made up my mind to run for a
South American port for supplies when !
the ship Glencoe bound from Austria
liza TO Cape Town was sighted. This |
was in latitude 20, longitude Sc From |
the Glencoe we obtained a barrel Of |
pork and some other provisions.
Il did not want to take any chances
Of accident by trying to push through |
and used sail most of the trip. I did |
not know until 1 reached here that |
the yacht was to be entered in the |
Honolulu races, as this was not the |
intention when We left New York"
SINCLAIR ALSO CONFIDENT.
II really believe thar the Lurline
viii be the first yacht to reach Ha-
Saii,' said Commodore Sinclair to the
San Diegan Sun, but whether she will
win the cup or not is a question. Ac-
;ording to the handicap agreement I
viii have to give the La Paloma 81
ours We have made no agreement
-et as to the Maple Leaf but she will
probably have to be given a handicap
.lso.
THE Lurline has made some long
rips. About two years ago L cruised
Tnone the islands in the South Sea
With her and she proved to be a fast
ailer, as we'll as being an excellent
ca boat We made $40 knots one day
With her, but I think I can beat that.
