Why, Indeed?

With our magnificent coast line
and the Sound right at our back
door, why don't more people go in
for yachting? Nutting wanted to
know.
He succeeded so we'll in keeping up

tire displacement was only fifteen

sickish misgiving that perhaps those
earlier voyages, over which YOU
thrilled in your youth, had been over
dramatized and that history had
played mean trick upon you.
Anyway, here was William Wash
burn Nutting to prove it was not so
much of q trick after all. and that
the smallness of ship, provided it
was structurally sound, did not
necessarily increase the danger of
making cross-seas voyage in it.
And yet there was that incident of
the unexpected sea which knocked
the tiny vessel flat and washed two
Of It's crew overheard. Nutting had
told the story to newspaper report
ers before, but repeated it for my
benefit. The Typhoon had made
the voyage to Cowcs safely. Nut
ting had reported the boat race for
his magazine and was on the way
back when the big storm struck.
The Typhoon was in latitude 35.33
longitude 70 Of the Gulf Stream.
Aboard, in addition to Nutting, was

The Typhoon rolled about consid-
erably that night, but remained up

was delayed by it, Finally the wind
wore itself out and the rest of the
voyage was made without mishap.
'1t was a trying experience, and I
would net recommend crossing the
Atlantic in ships as small as the
Typhoon as a pleasure trip" said
Nutting. Il don't want lot of
youngsters going in for dangerous
expeditions which may cause them
to be drowned. But the voyage of
the Typhoon proved that small
ship can be made safe in anv kind
OF sea and it certainly ought to en-
courage explora tions in much safer
waters. There is nothing more fas-

The First Missiving

The storm increased in vigOr. The
Iyphoon clung tenaciously to her
course, however, flying along under
trysail and a mizzcnsai. A few
hours before the tempest reached it's
height the Typhoon sighted the
threc-masted schooner. very much
larger than herself, which had long
since found it necessary to strip her
masts. Leaving the schooner wal
lowing in its track, the Typhoon
held to her course until that sea
struck which raised the first mis-
giving in the mind Of Nutting as to
the outcome Of the voyage.

RUM

question: have enough to rummy
out except a pair Of treys in hand.
On drawing a third trey, I lay them
all down. The argument Is that must
keep one card to discard, and there
fore cannot lay down all three treys.
F. J. r.
Answer-The rule that a player must
always discard after laving out a com
blnation is in order to give the next
player some card TO take or leave in
place Of the one the previous player
has taken up. AS the game is over
trc moment any one rummys out, there
IS no necessity to lay out a discard, as
no one can use it; so any player who
can get down all his cards without dis
carding may do so.

AUCTION BRIDGE

Question-We had a duplicate con-
test in which deal came up on which
three different opening declarations
were made. and there is bet as to
which one was the correct one. The
dealer held seven diamonds to the
king, queen, ten; five spades TO the
ace, queen, ten, and the ten Of hearts.
Some bid diamond, some spade,
and some passed, waiting to hear what
others had to say.-C. c. C.
Answer-This is a typical two-suiter
and the rule is TO call the higher rank
ing suit first, when either suit is strong
enough to justify free bid. The dealer
should start with one spade, and if he is
oSercalled he should bid the diamonds
4nis practically commands his partner
u pick the suit that he is stronger
IN, spades or diamonds, and not to 90
no-trnmps. The reason for declaring
the spades first, although diamonds
are longer, is TO enable the partner
10 make his selection without increax-
iHk tHc contract.
Question-Playing duplicate, four or
eight hands at d table before changing
partners, is it necessary TO make the
30 points for game on one deal, or
can partial score be used, 80 that
1875 may be added if game is made in
two deals?-~B. NJ. T.
Answer-The rues adopted by the
Knickerbocker Whist Club Of New
York, which arc generally regarded as
the authority for duplicate auction, re-
quire game to be made on one deal
TIE reason for this is 10 avoid the
Inequalities Of getting partial score

Hoyle, etc.
A MONG the exceptions to the
IA rule Of always leading your
Il long suit against the de-
clarer, your partner not having
made bid, must be noted the
cases in which all three of the
plain suits are better if led up
to than if led away from. For the
benefit Of the beginner, it may be
explained that a suit is led up to
when the holder is the last player on
the trick. 1t is led through when
he is the second player. 1t is led
away from when he has to open it
himself.
The advantages of finessing have
already been explained at length in
Ehese articles, and the combinations
that are chiefly used in finessing
have been given. The best known is
ace-queen, the position of the king
being unknown. Another is king
jack, the play of the jack being a
fnesse against the queen, hoping the
jack will drive the ace.
In order to get the full benefit
from such combinations of cards as
these it is essential that the lead
should come from the weaker land,
so that at least one adversary should
have to play to the trick before the
fnesse is made. 1t does not require
any argument to prove that if these
combinations are "led away from"
all the advantage of the finesse is
lost. A declarer who had two small
clubs in dummy, with ace-queen
small in his own hand, who led the
suit away from ace-queen would be
set down at once as a dub, because
unless one Ct his opponents has seven
clubs and the other has the king
alone the declarer must lose two
tricks if he leads the ace or queen
and will probably lose two if he leads
small.
The same is true Of the lesser
combination, king-jack and others.
If it is led away from every trick in
the suit may be lost, no matter how
the high cards lie. To less extent,
but still to a disadvantage, the lead
from any single honor that might
kill an honor il the hand of the ad-
versary on the right presents itself
That is why so many players will
not lead away from an ace when
they have only three small cards Of
the suit. They hope to kill some
thing with it. Il they lead it three
small cards drop, and perhaps the
opponents are relieved as to the
safety of poorly guarded king.
Suits headed by any two honors
not touching" that is, not next each
other III value, such as king-ten,
queen-ten, or suits headed by the
king, are all bad ones to lead away
from. This is universally recognized
by the declarer, who carefully avoids
them if he can. They are just as
weak leads for the adversaries, but
they are not always as carefully
avoided.
When there is a trump declaration,
and the leader finds himself with
two or three suits that are bad ones
to lead away from, he can do one of
two things: lead some weak, short,
or worthless suit, or lead the trump.

sitting about in wicker chairs on
large yachts. And it is one Of the
least costly Of recreations. Never
theless, although the youth Of Amer
ica have taken so eagerly to the au-
tomobile and all the sports related
to it, they have not gone in for the
water sports anything like they have
in England. There is no more exclu-
sive organization in the world per-
haps than the Royal Yachts Squad
ron Of England, but its members are
constantly puttering about in small
boats and have a thorough love for
that form of recreation.
"But in the United States cruis-
ing about in such craft frequently
has been considered incompatible
with high social standing, and the
sport has been retarded as a result.
This is all the more to be deplored
because the opportunities for devel-
oping it are so extensive. We have an
excellent coast line, which offers
many attractions for small boat
cruising. Here at New York are the
Sound and magnificent facilities for
sailing. 1t is q sport in which Eng

and which should be encOurag gnd in

to return to port for repairs.
But the little Typhoon outlasted
all these dangers, and is now safe
in her home waters. Which seems
to give strength to Nutting's con
tention that just because a boat is
small she is not necessarily unsafe
even for transatlantic travel.

he bid no-trump Y would have
taken him out with two spades. Al
one table, in the actual play, A used
the conventional double, which We
shall come to presently in these
articles, and B called the clubs. The
Interesting play was when hearts
were trumps, A to lead. The hand
was played at seven tables and only
two of them saved the game, in both
cases by avoiding the error of lead
ing away from suits headed By
honors that were not touching
The only alternative is the trump
For years | was the only player in
large card club that would lead
trumps right up TO the declarel.
Partners protested that it killel
their kings and queens. The answe,
is that they do not have to put On
those cards. If they can be caught
by being led through, dummy will
get in and lead through them, no
matter what suit is opened.
In this hand the trump lead killed
the partners king. II would have
been caught by the finesse in any
case. The moment A get in again
he led another trump, if the de-
clarer had not done so. 1t is in
possible for Z to win the game
against the trump opening.
But if A starts with a small spade
or with any diamond L makes four
odd to a certainty. At one table he
made little slam against the spade
opening, winning the jack with the
queen and going right back TO
finesse the ten. Thel he caught a.
the trumps and led club. A

put his king right on and made his
ace of diamonds, but he let the
queen win and z got three diamond
discards on the three good spades.

After he caught the line it kept
slipping through his fingers as we
hauled and we were in constant fear
Of losing him. When we got him
close enough to lay hold with our
hands we didn't have strength
enough at first to pull him up. We
had not been eating much that day
and were pretty weak. But at last
we made united effort and got him
on board. Then, having lowered all
sail, we went below and let the ship
take care Of itself. We had a good
rest and sang songs to pass the
time. Fortunately, we had a little

side and burying deck, masts and
rigging in the smother of waters.
Then, convinced that seamanship
could do no more and that the ship
would have to fight out the storm by
herself, Nutting and his companions
including, Of course, the two who
had been washed overheard and
miraculously rescued-retired to the
cabin. First, to be sure, they furled
ell sail and battened down every
thing movable, after which, in the
comparative security Of that rolling
cubicle, they had, as Nutting after
ward described it, "a good sing"
They sang songs like the brave souls
they were, and in the end the ship
justified their faith. She came
through gallantly and tied up at
length at St George, S. l.
"There is no reason why a small
beat cauaot be made strong enough
to withstand any sea-" Nutting IN
sisted several days aftcrward, in
the Office Of Motor Boat, the semi
monthly magazine of which he is the
managing editor.
Sea Was Far AWAY
must say that Nutting was very
casual about it, and perhaps the
surroundings accumulated his manner.
The publication of which he is the
editor is in a huge Office building in
Thirty-ninth Street, this city, given
over to class journals, and the in
terror presented a very busy scene
indeed. There was no suggestion
anywhere of the sea.

ing Of the sort What he is is a
writer, an editor and mechanical
engineer And he looks it. He is
about thirty-fve years old and is
just beginning to get bald, which
adds to his intellectual appearance.
He is of medium height, compactly

of the Royal Geographical Society
of London, q title that was bestowed
upon him not long ago in recogni-
tion of scientific expedition which
he was too modest to talk about.
He is an enthusiastic yachtsman
and from what l could gather it was
to promote the cause of yachting
more than anything else that he

Was No Navigator

There is one thing which Nutting
said in connection with the exploit
Of the Typhoon which deserves men,
ton. He is not a professional navi-
gator, and until he started away in
the Typhoon Mad had little expert
ence in the use Of a chronometer. On
the trip to Europe Nutting was ac-
companied by f. w. (Casey) Bald
win, designer of the Typhoon, but
Baldwin was as inexperienced in
finding longitude and latitude at sea
as Nutting.
Casey had played a bit with his
sextant and had gained some ac-
New-York tribune., 1920-12-12

Quaintance with the various methods
of obtaining longitude by casual
reading Of several textbooks" said
| Nutting, "and / had written an ar
ticle on the 'S9-49' method of OBJ
tanning latitude
"But until we were in mid Atlantic
neither one Of us had ever had occa-
sion to work up a time sight with a
real live chronometer. 1t is dam
aging admission, but it goes to prove
that navigation is really not the for
midab,e thing we are likely to con-
slider it,"
Which is another proof of Nut
ting's determination not to view his
exploit in heroic light-and from
what ! could see this was not a pose
on his part.
The Typhoon was built at Alex
