 along the south coast of Cuba, and back 

 to home waters. 



In 1915, she returned to Cienfuegos, and 

 on her journey north met with her first 

 mishap, for she parted her weather shrouds 

 in a heavy sea, sprung her mainmast, and 

 had to return to Miami for a refit and a 

 fresh start. 



On the 9th of July at 9 P.M., when within 

 sight of the lights of Bar Harbor, we were 

 struck by a sudden storm "wind 70 miles 

 an hour and heavy rain." We were driven
