The San Francisco call., 1907-02-05

yacht race We're nineteen of the ls4
days occupied by the British shin
Whitlieburn in winging her way to this
port from Antwerp. She arrived on
sunday evening and passed quarantine
early yesterday morning. She reached
port few hours later than the British
ship Madagascar, which left Antwerp
two days ahead Of the Whitlieburn.
The Madagascar was responsible for
twelve OF the Whitlieburn's exciting
days.
The Whitlieburn overhauled the
Madagascar in latitude 1e north, longi-
tude 121 west, and for twelve days the
vessels were within view Of one an
other. It was not much of a view.
They could barely see one another's
lower topsails, but on each ship it was
Known that on the other vessel every
effort was being made to get ahead.
There was no rest on the Whitlieburn
while the Madagascar's sticks were
visible. Advantage was taken Of every
catspaw, and it was pull and haul, with
little rest between, for all hands.
For seven days of the voyage the
Whitlieburn was side by side with the
ships Yola and Scottish Glens. During
that time the vessels were about three
miles apart and fairly abreast in a
line that was preserved until a squall
scattered the ships.
In latitude - south, longitude 50
west the Whitlieburn passed a process
sion Of twenty-one icebergs, which
formed a southwest line for a number
Of miles. Much wind was encountered
OF Cape Horn. The Whitlieburn was
seventeen days running from so to so.
