The crews lost little time in getting !
to the start, which was out Of sight of /
both club houses and judges stand, |
and what seemed a long wait ensued !
before the two crews were sighted.
| Suddenly the two boats emerged into
sight from behind the wharves. They
were both together and seemed to be
tracing -ovel, but as they entered the
straightaway course is was seen that
the inside boat (Myrtle) had a
distinct advantage. Rowing with
long steady stroke we'll pulled through
the wearers of the red and white gra-
dually forged ahead and on passing
the judges barge on the outward trip
had a lead of almost two lengths. The
Healani crew were pulling in a jerky
fashion and did not finish at all well,
apparently ending the stroke while
the blades were still in the water. The
cheering which greeted the crews as
they passed the boat clubs seemed to
infuse more life into the Healani crew
and they put more power into their
stroke, but they could net hold their
opponents. The race developed into
a procession and on the return journey
the Myrtles had the race we'll in hand.
Vociferous cheering greeted them as
they passed their own club many
lengths ahead, and this was renewed
: as the gun was fired anoucing their
success. The Healani crew finished
"a As seconds later than the winner.

Myrtle got the better Of the start,
catching well from the jump off, while
/, the IIealani splashe1 badly. How
ever though the Myrtle crew had the
advantage of the start, the Healani
freshmen did not give UP hope and
stuck doggedly at their task. As they
approached the Spar buoy it SCENE l

l there was little in it though the Myr-
tie crew were rowing the steadier
stroke of the two and this made all
the difference, for on the return jour
ney they went ahead and soon had a
