ANNAPOLIS, Md, July IA
bowling northerly laden with rain
and hail swept over Chesapeake
Bay and the Severn River here this
afternoon to bring a sudden and
near tragic close to the second day
of the sixth annual Annapolis
Yacht Club regatta
The tail end of the violent squall
struck just as the large cruising
yachts had completed the first leg
OF an 18-mile course out in the
Bay. Continuing on into the Severn,
the storm played havoc with nearly
30 smaller racing craft sailing the
second races of the day.
Numerous masts were snapped,
rudders were swept away and skip
pers and crews thrown into the
river as boat after boat went over
under the force OF wind which
reached a velocity OF 40 miles.
Naval Academy, Coast Guard and
local pleasure craft went to the
rescue, bringing wet and battered
crews to safety.
Races To BE ResaiIed.
Regatta officials announced later
in the day that the second and third
races would be sailed tomorrow
morning and afternoon. The re-
gatta was scheduled originally to
close with morning events.
The morning events, sailed in rela-
tive calm weather, found Washing
ton shippers leading in two classes

Trophy Presentation Today.
Disaster was averted in the after
noon races by stars, Hampton one
designs and 20-footers whose skip
pers saw trouble coming in time
to drop sail. Some of the big
yachts on the outside course headed
for the Eastern Shore, where they
managed to find some protection
from the high wind and seas.
Gov. Herbert R. O'Conor and
prominent Maryland leaders have
been invited to be present at the
trophy presentation at the club
house late tomorrow. The ceremony
was planned for pm. but probably
will have to be advanced to permit
officials to complete the scoring.
Competition will resume over
three courses tomorrow at $50 am.
and again at 80 pm.
