'SHE TURNED BOTTOM UP IN SQUALL' her all the way to Detroit, as you agreed to dol"
 "I lost my nerve, to tell the honest truth replied the yacbtsman address ed. "When the Windward boys sold their twentyone footer to a Detroit man he insisted that some one sail the boat from Chicago to Detroit. where he would pay the money for her. No one wanted the Windward here be- cause she had turned bottom up in squall, and part of the crew got caught-a bad accident.
 "I had a vacation about the time some one had to take the Windward to Detroit. The boys begged me to sail her around, and Wentworth of the Vixen agreed to go. I got two of the Windward crew to climb aboard also. We left Chicago one Saturday after noon with fair breeze and lots of pro- visions Nothing happened at first had nice weather, took things easy, sailed by day and ran into some harbor by night.
 Tt was seven bells-we heard the clock distinctly-the fourth day up Lake Michigan. We were cleaning up the dishes in the cockpit. The South Mani1ou island lay about two miles off We heard the creaking of blocks. You remember the blocks of the Windward: You could hear them all over the har Dor.

The fellow at the stick looked Just like you, Wentworth said to me, And the fellow wiring the big nan looked Ike Wentworth. No atten- tion had been paid to us by the other crew.
 About that time we got puff from the east which gave us quite knock down, aud for minute we were busy with our canvas When we looked again no boat was to be seen.
 I've worked over close to the Man itou. The wind went out, and death ly stiffness settled about us. 1t got quite dark. The glass showed nice weather, but Wentworth insisted that we were in for a squall. There wasn't a cloud in the sky worth mentioning. Suddenly the wind came across the island from the northwest. We drop ned anchor and decided to stay in the lee of the Manitou and see what was coming. It came all right-one of the nastiest blows l ever saw. We were lucky to be just where we were. We rode it out behind the island. The next morning th wind Topped around to the southeast, and we started on our way.
