 simullaueously. Wind fresh from southwest, giving the smaller 

 craft all tho work they wanted, and right bravolv were they put 

 through it. Zulu lost so much time in reeling that sho gave up 

 off Half Tide rock, aud Curlew split her mast step, hut made re- 

 pairs noil proceeded. Nattio eapsi/ed. tho Firefly and Wideawake 

 going to her rescue. Judges : 0. C. Hamlet, H. Davenport and S.
