The Log of the Anemone


June love came on board imme-
diately after breakfast What a diff
ference between the quiet and the
sweet, cool sea air and that hot, bust
ling town. A certain Mr. G., who has
mined in Colorado, came aboard with
US. He got seasick while the boat was
! riding at anchor, steady as a church.
When his feelings rose too high, he
left. So did the captain IS mate, Mel
son. He was of the sea lawyer type,
physically a magnificent specimen of
the terrible Swede'' sailor.
We have more trouble than that
Jack, pet of TUFTS, has got mixed
up with wandering bottle in the
cabin. Now he is repentapt, drunk
and heart broken, and about to leave.
The captain is ashore chasing cooks.
Ii he does not find any, Stimson will
be put in the galley. The latter has
boosted, IN the presence of Louis Vet
ter and other reliable witnesses, that
he can fry terrapins and boil cock
tails. He may have a chance to make
good. The only trouble is his bay win
dow, to which he is very much attach
edit won t go into the galley.
Mrs. Tut paid us visit today, also
Charley Jr., and Mrs. f. o. "Fritz''
Overton, one of Sinclair IS guests, came
on board this evening. He took dinner
with US and our hearts with him as
he left. Come often, Fritz, there will
always be a warm welcome and a cool
drink for you on the Anemone.
june IA new mate has come
aboard. He is built with plenty of
beam and depth, not very lofty, and
looks like an energetic sort of person
L suspect his seamanship: he is old
fashioned enough TO have been on the
ark on that memorable trip up Mount
Ararat. 4 Japanese cook who came
aboard this morning left at once be-
cause the galley was not large enough
for him. 1t is queer how quickly these
little yellow men can learn to be dis
agreeable. The captain had TO go
ashore again for another cook. He got
a white one this time, fearing the vel
low streak.
There were many visitors aboard this |
more than half of them
charming More reporters, who |
gathered opinions about the probable |
result of the race. Tut, who does not |
like to commit himself, smiled and told |
them to call up Honolulu. Stimson |
and l, not knowing anything about the |
matter, were decided in our statements.
made his assertions a little
more vague than [ did mine. He is a
aWyer and wants to leave a loophole.
When Mrs. Tut and Mrs. F. o..
wood, who came for final goodbye,
lad left the ship, we weighed anchor
md made sail. The Captain was care
ess IN maneuvering for the start, and
,ot the yacht IN irons. Being close
shore he had to anchor and do it
Ill over again. A fine breeze carried
IS over the starting line at last at
2:O5, five minutes late. La Paloma
.ot away first, Lurline next. AS we
assed the breakWater of San Pedro
arbor, the Anemone was flying along.
hundreds OF people were out in boats
bid US Godspeed and the pretty
Anemone seemed to dip her bows in
rateful recognition.
June IL, p. m.-Lurline and La
aloma are lying not far away, can I
as happlng like our own. From the
lowIng made during the afternoon, / J
Mould say that La Paloma is out of
ne race, and that Lurline is likely to
IN, unless we have very strong winds.
everal launches have been over from 2
lie island to greet Commodore Tut. c
hey come up to the Anemone and

good luck' and return home It b

Ihayer is the life of the boat. He
everywhere, watching, helping and d
ughing.
June IL, late p. ma stormy wind
IS come up with rough sea. There t
crew enough to handle the boat so n
