| In a moment the mate had brough
the schooner up into the wind and hat
ordered the stern boat away. A few

| be lifted in bodily. Then the three mel
| in the tender were taken on bOarC
and all were brought back to the Saw
yer.
Everything the men had on board the
motor boat was lost except the clothe.
they stood in and all were anxious t.
get back home to New York as quickl.
as possible. The kind hearted captain
of the Sawyer was readily prevailed
upon to turn out of his course and loSt

cred his strength, and beyond a few
bruises and scratches and great wear
mess none Of the party was much the
worse for his experience. At Ga,
bluffs the men caught a steamer t.
New Bedford. from which place they
made tic quickest connections TO
New York that they could.
The men were naturally somewhat
dow ncast at their misadventure but
perhaps their keenest regret at frs
was the loss of the race.
The Ktcinquc was new type of crui-
ser and cost $4,000. The men estimate
that the combined personal loss, in.
Guiding clothing, at about $1,000, but
the sportsmen made light of their loss
They were mighty glad to be on land
again they said. and their one great
regret was that the accident if it must
have happened, couldn't have taker
place after they had crossed the finish
line at Marblehead. The loss of the
boat was fully covered by insurance.
