weather was very poor. and after the
finishes. which were late. all hands de-
clared that the trip down the wind on
the nrst legs OF the different courses
were the worst they ever experienced.
The heat was intense, and to make mat
ters worse the light wind was very ftful
and fiuku and every one had to work
hard changing sails and watching for

squalls passed along the shore and
threatened 10 break. but the worst these
furnished was a little rain.
