eers Of the two racing vessels, and shat
If they had disregarded our signals
and our message they could on their
own responsibility continue on their
course.
''It was decided that If the vessels
we're determined to continue, the
course should be patroIled in order to
safeguard these vessels from any pos
sibility Of collision with the many
craft which were attempting to close
down on them in order to gain q bet
ter view.
