SHAMROCK Wis DUE
TO START SATURDAY

LONDON, July 1.-THE present
prospect is that the Shamrock v will
be converted into an ocean craft and
ready to start the crossing to the
United States next Saturday.
It was announced at Portsmouth that
the work on the yacht was proceeding
well and that the farewell ceremony
had been set for Saturday morning.
Sir Thomas Upton is rapidly recov-
ering from an attack of lumbago and
is expected to attend the departure of
his yacht He will leave for America
early in August. In an interview yes
terday Upton discussed the prospects
of the Shamrock.
Our biggest handicap won't be in
the ocean crossing ITSELF" he said.
"Our worst trouble is that we've had
to interrupt her tuning-up to put her
in ocean rig. Then when she reaches
the other side she has to be put back
in tune for racing. That may be a
matter of a week or 10 days.
yachts are as sensitive to tune as
a fiddle. Although the places where the
rigging was are all marked. so that
conditions are bound to lead to altera-
tons.
1.-THE conditions are strange to us.
Although we've never raced at Newport.
we assume it will be better than at
Sandy Hook
The Shamrock will be accompanied
on the ocean crossing by a steamship
carrying radio equipment, which can
give her a tow in case of prolonged
calm. It is expected that the crossing
will take about 80 days.
