 As soon as the Black Arrow an- chored in Portland Harbor, Roose- veltand his companions taxied to Hotel Eastland. There, after don- ming his paiamas and notifying ms Marion, Mass, summer home that he was safe, Roosevelt told the United Press of his adventure.
 "We left Manchester-by-the-Sea yesterday morning" he said. 'There were six of us abroad. They were John Knowlton of Nassau Bahamas, owner; Paul D. Rust.

 Ut became so. blowy that one of our sails was torn off, but this didn't make any difference. We had an auxiliary motor but in connec- ton with the race we were limited to 12 or IA gallons of gasoline so we had to go easy on the engine and use our remaining sail as much as possible.
 After we lost the sail we de- cided that we couldn't go on with the race. We thought at first we might return to Manchester-by-the Sea-, but finally we have to and decided to, head for Portland somewhat to the north.
 ''So we cruised along, taking our time, with nothing much to worry about. We took our meals regu- larly and all of us got our sleep. It was something of a lark.
 we had no radio abroad and so we didn't know about the coast guard search that was underway or the greater one that was plan ned for tomorrow.
 '"By alternating with engine and remaining sail, we finally put into Portland harbor without any as- sistance.
 We went ashore soon after ward and taxied to the hotel.
