The story these records reveal Is one Of
tragedy and inspiration.
One tale of hardship, skill and
courage by the Guardsmen Is told in
the account of-the wreck Of the Nor

outlying bar. OF the Seatacks Coast

The Dictator was laden with lumber
bound from Pensacola, Ea.. to West

In addition, the captains wife and
4-year-old son were on board. A
heavy storm was encountered soon
after the bark passed the Bahamas,

But under Commodore Smiths lead
ership the committee went directly to
the foremost figures In the sport-Gar
Wood and Horace Dodge. At that

time Dodge was one of the few men
financially able to build big boats, and
it was those boats that the Washing
ton group wanted.
Convinced Of the magnitude of the
enterprise. Dodge not only consented
to compete, but entered four of his
best boats and thus became the first
important entrant in the first Presi-
dents Cup regatta. To this day those
closest to the classic insist that it was
Dodge's decision to enter which made
possible the success of the 1926 event
and provided an impetus which it
never has lost.
That year Wood. driving his Miss
America v, gave Capital citizens their
first taste Of real motor boat speed,
tearing through the waters at more
than 80 miles per hour. More than
that. he and his brother Phil set
precedent for thrills when their two
boats, Miss America v and w, finished
2 feet apart-after miles Of racing.
That finish, never to be forgotten by
those who saw 1t, left spectators wild
with excitement.
Although the first regatta ran but
two days, 1t was estimated that over
$4,000 persons saw the events. This
week twice that number are expected
for the three days racing, which
stars on Friday with the salboats.
So many yarns revolve about Gar
Wood that no mention of him Is COM
plete without reciting a few incidents
from his often thrill-soaked. and con-
tinual water soaked career. One of the
favorites concerns the time that he
and his famed mechanic, Orlin john
son, smashed up when travelling
faster than 100 miles an hour, the
crack-up plunging Wood 40 feet be-
low the surface, with the steering
wheel Of Miss America vi In his
hands.
It seemed ages before he came up,
and when he did he was alone. john
son was still below. He came up,
with his life jacket many minutes
later and many thought he had raced
his last. Hours afterward, he opened
his eyes while laying on . hospital
cot, over. which Wood was gazing
down anxiously into the face Of his
invaluable mate.
well, I guess we'll have to build
q new Miss America, won't We, Carp"
were his first words.
Two weeks later, Miss America VII
was ready for action, and johnson,
who sits beside Wood In every race,
but never hears q word (thc roar of
their motors is deafening), resumed
the old position, which he has held
ever since. Wood handles the wheel,
Johnson the engine, and together,
they represent Americas No. l power
boat team.
Put though they have done their
share in keeping the Harmsworth
Trophy, the international prize power

year since it was put into, competition

the opinion that the United States
Government does far too little expert
mental work on marine engines.
Because private motor boat manu-
facturers say there Is no market for
new-type engines Of more powerful
and faster design, no new engines have
been developed.
The British government, on the
other hand, continually Is experiment.
ing, with resultant benefits to their
national defense. Wood and johnson
insist that the United States Naval
and Air Forces would reap untold
advantages from such an expert
mental program by this Government.
