 He recommended urgently that they go aboard and get ready to sail.
 Others Make Pleas.
 Mrs. Jonathan Raymond, wife of a substitute member of the internation- al racing committee, urged the men to go out and race to show the world what Gloucester men were made of.
 Secretary Denby gained a few re- cruits and Mrs. Raymond a few more Wilfred w. Lufkin. collector of the port of Boston. and chairman of the committee with other committee members made appeals to the fisher men with indifferent success.
 Finally Gets Crew.
 Then Captain Morrissey, surround ed by a group of his men, asserted that they would actually decide the matter. With indications that many of them would race, he placed him self at their head and went aboard his schooner Enough sailors from other boats joined them to make up a full crew. ...... ...
 The Bluenose meanwhile had start ed out, passing the wharf where the Ford lay, It is believed that one fac tor in inducing so many of the Ford's men to sail was the possibility that the Canadian schooner might go over the course alone and the race be given her by forfeit.
