HARTFORD C. C. CRUISE. 



ON THE deck of the steamer Capitol City, when she left Hartford 

 July 3, at four o'clock P.M., were safely stowed six canoes, 

 while their owners and crews in groups of two or three were scattered 

 in shady nooks about the steamer. Wreaths of smoke curled about 

 these groups, while the talk was of the briny waters of Long Island 

 Sound, toward which the steamer swiftly bore them, down the beau- 

 tiful Connecticut River, and on which thej^ hoped next morning, 

 Independence Day, to 



" — hoist the anchor, mates, and let the sails 

 Give their broad bosom to the buxom winds, 

 Like a lass that woos a lover." 

 The canoes en route were: Venture, Commodore Jones; Vision, 

 Dodd and Davidson; Phyllis, Girard; Oahu, Parmele; Leilah, Abbot, • 

 Edelweiss, Francis. The Kestrel and the Kundry were already at 

 Saybrook. Mrs. Oahu, honorary member of the A. C. A. and H. O. C 

 and a member of the C. C. G, were with the party. At 8 o'clock the 

 Oahu and Leilah with their respective crews left the steamer at Rock 

 Landing, about thirty miles distant from Hartford, while the re- 

 mainder continued on to Saybrook, sixty miles from Hartford and at 

 the mouth of the river. 



During the next two days the Oahu and Leilah cruised leisurely to 

 Essex, twenty-five miles, and returned to Rock Landing, beating 

 down and returning with fair wind and tide. The Oahu spent an ad- 

 ditional day cruising in the vicinity of Rock Landing, one of the 

 many picturesque points on the Connecticut. The party which c6n- 

 tinued to Saybrook, the Venture, Phyllis, Edelweiss and Vision ar- 

 rived there about 11 P. M., and put up with hospitable Mr. Pease for 

 the night. 



Early next morning sail was set, the last of the ebb aiding a beat 

 to windward out of the river. The end of the breakwater reached a 

 fan- course was laid for Thimble Islands with a good south wind and
