Best Cruising Weather Ia 42.Years
History Of the Club.

Swans Island, Me-, July 10.-A
southeast gale broke up the Eastern
Yacht Club cruise at this port, today.
At a meeting of the captains it was
decided not to proceed to Bar Har-
Dor and to call off the windup dim
ner.
Early in the day the weather con-
ditions looked favorable for the com
pletion of the cruise but, during the
forenoon the gale increased to a small
sized hurricane and at noon the cap
tains decided that there was no
chance of reaching Bar Harbor. The
disarmament gun was fired, at 6 O'Clock
tonight.
The fleet was safely anchored in
one of the best harbors on the Maine
coast and while the wind ratified
through the rigging the harbor was
comparatively smooth. AS soon a.

will return to Marblehead, while 9TH
ers will continue further East. A
race may also be arranged. tomorrow
for the Norman cup from this port
to Marblehead.
The yachts that were storm boune

While the racing contingent was

Tuesday, several of the fast boats ran

The prizes for the racers. this year,
nave been as valuable as ever, but
even these incentives failed to arouse
much sporting enthusiasm and less
than half score of yachts have gone
in for the racing game. In fact in
terest in these contests have been con-
fined almost wholly to the continual
ton of the three years duel between
the Elena and Iroiita. and rather
close contest between the Shimna and
Dorello. Once in a while some of the
other yachts would take a hand in
the game and there would probably
have been more racing had not the
calm weather of July g. and the fog

Yachts been able to explore so many
of the little harbors. coves and inlets

In former years dependence on sail
power compelled all craft either to
participate in the racing or follow
closely those fast yachts in order that

deviate.

The salutation given when a vessel
lowers or dips" its flag is one of the
oldest and most honorable of all forms
of marine greeting. This firm of salute
has always been demanded by English
speaking seamen, and it's exaction has
warmed the hearts and used up the
powder of generations of naval COM
manders. In the old days. for a foreign
ship, whether merchant or naval, to
enter an English port without yelling
topsails or dipping it's national flag was
to run the risk of war. although the
profoundest peace existed. Without
warning or argument, the shore de-
lenses of man-of-war would send 4
round shot across the bows or between
the masts of the foreigner. and If the
offending flag did not instantly come
down the insolcnt intruder was brought
to her senses by being raked through
and through. Such was the reception
accorded by Sir John Hawkins in the
sixteenth century TO the Spanish adj
miral. who. in time of peace. sailed into
Portsmouth sound without yelling his
topsails or lowering his flag. Statutes
are essential matters of naval etiquette,
and are exchanged on an elaborate code
fixed by the maritime powers. The
number of guns to be fired in all cir
cumstances is mnutely stipulated.
