sHAMRocK's DECK ROSE UN-
DER THE STRAIN.
After that wonderful brush we
had along The Shrewsbury shore
meaning the beach from Highlands

ing away on the long track for the
! first marx and we we're close hauled.
one OF the men ran over 20 me and
said, steady. Mr. Burton. The deck
Is coming up.'g
81 looked about and saw that the
deck had risen an inch or perhaps
little more because Of the strain upon
the runner. OF course eased the
strain and did not permit the pull OF
the block on the runner to be so hard
again. The sailing OF the boat was
not affected perceptbly because II
happened that the heaviest wind We
had was right there. We wee able
10 see in a moment OF two that no
harm had been done, and 1t was easy
enough to give the added reinforce

have been done right here at the
mooring had not the yacht been go

during the armistiCe in daily racing
except for a readjustment and test

and restricting of the seams OF
some OF her sails TO take up slack

easy, graceful way in which th'
