THE "ftUUO" BOAT WINS.
Runs Away with the Challenger
without the Least Difficulty.
Communicated

Creek Motor Boat Club" issued a
10 Mr.. w. B. Braithwaite
for a race on College Creek. ater he
csrted' his boat over from Queen s /
Creek. The following IS the &C
count furnished The Gazette Of what
Mr.. Braithwaite did for the chal-
lengers:
On Saturday week while running
down Queens Creek we hit a log ana
had 10 take our boat out o. the wa
ter to put on a new blade and
straighten the shaft. We had in
tended running around to the College
Creek to accept their challenge;
distance Of about 100 miles-but as
long as our boat was out OF the wa
ter. and already on a cart for repairs
we decided to haul it over. rather
than 70 shove il back in the water.
Preparations were being made TO
have a race on Tuesday. September
26. We were at the creek ready tor a
start. We had been waiting for
over three hours. when we saw Mr..
B. +. Wolfe. commander of the
boat, which intended racing US.
coming down to the creek with his
crowd. After he got his boat in
trim and put enough people in It 10
balance it TO the best advantage. he
started out to race US. On his boat
was gentleman. Mr.. Inman. an ex
pert seaman. who Mr. Wolfe had
brought with him TO Try and beat
the "Ferro." They started from
the College Creek dock at 2 2. m.
Mr.. Wolfe in the lead. When we
started our engine and in about a
half a minute we were ready 10 pass
him. bat Mr.. Inman. their pilot.
knew that we did not know the
channel and therefore made US run
in the grass. bv turning out when
we tried 20 pass him. They went
ahead then for about a mile. while
we stopped our boat and backed it
up 10 shore and got the sea grass
from around our wheel. Then We
started our engine. and in about ten
minutes time we were close behind
them. bnt this time the creek was
wide and we had a little more space.
and deep water 10 run in. Mr.. IN
man this time, tried to run his boat
zig gag across the creek to keep Us
from passing him but he slipped up,
for our pilot knew his business, and
our boat was too fast for him. even
when running at two third speed
We were side by side. when he tried
10 run the bow of his boat into the
side of the FeIro." He succeeded,
but We were too much for him. We
opened our engine full speed, showed
him sideways out OF the way, then
We gave him a yell and walked
away from him. We arrived at the
river. after leaving him at the (thor-
ough. fare) about five minutes before
be did, and waited for him.
Presently We saw him coming,
and We let him again pass US. AT
ter ne had passed Us. he made a run
as if ne was going 10 Hog Island 50
we opened up the engine and soon
We were side by side. We saw that
we could beat hem. and do it easy.
so instead Of leaving them we made
a circle around them and caught up
with them again. and again we run
around them. We would have done
1t again but they turned their boat
around and made run up towards
jamestown Island. this time they
got tired of Us running around them
SO they continued running around
in a circle. and we did the same,
we kept the outside circle. they had
