little craft, admitted. 1t laid her fiat
up against the flank of huge billow
pressing her down until the water slid
over the bulge of the masts and boiled
green in the slack of her sails. This
was on November II.
Two of the crew on the Typhoon were
swept overheard by that mighty buffet
but we're rescued. They were Uffa Fox
master of sea scouts at Cowcs, who
joined the vessel on the other side, and
James Dorset, Of Washington.
Twice during the voyage, which slant
ed down from Cowes to the edge Of the
northeast trades, the Typhoon ran

brought her into port only few hours
after word had been flashed to craft
along the coast to watch for the Ty-
