THE ARRIVAL OF GALATEA. 



THE leng and anxious watch for Galatea which bas been kept 

 up for nearly two weeks from INlarblelicad, was ended on 

 Sxindav, when at 5:1.5 P.M. a white yaelitwith nn topmast A>as 

 sighted off Thatcher's Island, and a couple of honrs a,fterward the 

 handsome white cutter dropped her anchor ui Marblehead Har- 

 bor. An immense crowd of small craft at once surrounded her, 

 hearty clieers were given for Mrs. Henn, Lieut. Henn, and the 

 yachts while huge bonfiros were kindled on shore in honor of their 

 arrival. After being reported by the Westernland last ^^•eek, 

 Galatea was next heard from tbrongh the folio wing report brought 

 by pilot Michael IMcDonald on the steamer Edam on July 31, from 

 pilot Frauds Coimor, hot li of the pilot boat A. M. La.^^'rence: 



"July 29. on board tlic pilot boat A. M. Lawi-ence, No. 4, of Now 

 York, 480 miles east of_ Sandy Hook, 360 miles east of i\larbleliead. 

 8 A. M. — I have just been on board the Galatea and had a good 

 sbfike hands with Lieut, and Mrs. Henn, who. with all the crew, 

 arc well and hearty. Lieut. Henn reports lea\-ing the Azores on 

 the 14th. since which time he has had a succession of light ^^inds, 

 ■with which, with bis light rig, he bas made but poor progress, bis 

 day runs beiiig from 00 to 1:.'0 miles only. His best day was the 

 27th inst., when he made 185 miles. He has now a lending four- 

 knot breeze from the north. Her rig is only a Ingniainsail, fore- 

 Staysail, and jib. with flag pole at the masthead. Noon, July 29— 

 Latitude 41° 30 n.orth, longitude 63" 10' ivest. With the aspect of 

 the weather she will i)robably arrive Monday." 



On Sundav evening Com. Hovey and Messrs. Appleton and Jack- 

 son visited the A acht and offered the courtesies of the Eastern Y. C. 

 to Mr. and Mrs. Hean. On Monday morning General Butler also 

 paid a visit on board. After the yacht was partly put in order 

 yisitoj-H were freelv admitted and a very large nvunber boarded 

 her. Lieut. Henn is greatly pleased with Marblehead and pro- 

 poses to reflt there. The cruising spars which have been waiting 

 for some time in Boston will be sent to Marblehead. They in- 

 clude a main boom 72ft. 6in. long, gaff 48ft., topmast -Sift. Sm. 

 bowsprit 52tt. 6in. and spinnaker boom 65ft. The racing spars 

 arrived at New Yoi-k on the Tower Kill on Saturday. Galatea is 

 fltthig out as rapidly as possible in order to be at Ne^^^Jort by 

 Saturda\'. The following messages passed yesterday from Messrs. 

 Smith and Krebs of the N. Y. Y. C. Cup Cominittee: 



New Yokk. August 2, 18.S0.— To Lieut. W Henn, Marblehead, 

 Mass: On belialf of the America's Cup Committee, I tender ray 

 congratulations and salatations to yourself and IMrs. Henn.—

Mr. Beavor Webl) left for Marblehead on Monday night. We 

 arc indebted to the Boston Herahl for the following copy of 

 Galatea's log: Lieut. Honn's intoresting log is headed "Voyage of 

 the Galatea from PI yraouth to Marblehead, U. S. A." During the 

 early part of Wednesday, Juno 30, the Galatea's crew was em- 

 ployed in watering ship and preparing for sea. It x^'as 2:50 on that 

 day when she weighed anchor and proceeded out of Plymouth 

 Sound. It was but tin hour and 20 minutes before the ■\'sund cbed 

 awaA' and so light did the air remain that at 7 o'clock Lieut. Henn 

 sent' the ship's cutter away after flsh. The expedition was not 

 very successful, however, as at 9:20 the cutter rettirned with only 

 one'lobster, and that wa,s all the fresh flsb the voyagers had until 

 they met an American fisherman on this side of the ocean. 



On July 1 the wind was so light that at 2:ao A. ]-/f . the mastliead 

 spinnaker was set. At 10:30 that morning Galatea made out to 

 signal Li7.ard's station and a request was sent to report all ^s'ell. 

 It was 4:30 that afternoon when the yacht lost sight of land, bear- 

 ing northeast bv east. The gig was secured to the deck and the 

 anchor w^i'^ unbent and stored below. The wind freshened enough 

 toward midraght to cause the balloonforesail to be sto'^ved, and the 

 sailing record of the first whole day out was 41 miles, the course 



Atl) 3o'.Vel<')ck m of Friday, the 2d, the lieutenant 



observed a steamer standing southwest, and in the afternoon 

 sighted a bark standing northward. The cutter was secured on 

 deck that afternoon, the last precaution when standing out on the 

 " waste of waters." The record that day was PjO miles, and the 

 course south. 8-3° west. . - „ 



On the following day the yach t's course was west, and, with a 

 light cast wind, she made but ys miles. i „ „ „™ 



^hile loyal Americans were making the spreading eagle scream 

 on the " glorious Fourth." the cruisers were spending a very quiet 

 day. At noon the yacht*s course was changed to west-half -west, 



porpoises came ahuigside. heading west. At 5 l .M. a bug was 

 sighted, standing southeast^vard. Otherwise the day was une v en i- 

 fiil, but the yacht made 120 miles during the 24 hours, witn a light 

 northeast wind, oour.riing north, 82° west. 



At 2.30 o'clock on tiie following morning there was weatUer to 

 warrant the setting of the spinnaker. I'he wind was variable, 

 with passing light showers from tlie north, the sea smooth, tbotig 1 1 

 there was a swell. The weather continued so all day, but t le 

 swell went down at night. The sloop made 117 miles that day, the 

 cour.se being north, 80° west . , , ^ ^ ^ ^ 



At daylight next day a brig was observed standing to eastward, 

 and at 5:30 o'clock exchanged, and Lieut. Henn found out that the 



brig wa.s a fellow-countrpnan. The weather was fine, but the 



sea was smooth. Later on in the morning a bark was sighted, 

 steering eastward, and at sunlight there were four sails in sight,, 

 the wind being light and varial Je. with rain. Nevertheless, 12U 

 miles '^s'ere made during the day, tlie course being south, 87'' west. 



Early on the morning of the 8th Galatea passed south of a bark 

 standing to the eastward. There was as little vnnd as there wfts 

 anything else to interest the drifting voyagers, and with a variable 

 westerly to ncn-th-uortbwesterly air, but 91 miles was made, cours- 

 ing south, 72'-' west. 



I'he principal otiject of interest on the 9th were a fleet of Portu- 

 guese men-of-war and a big school of jelly fish, and the -wind was 

 from light to moderate, so that the Galatea made 141 miles, course 

 south, 85= west. 



On the morning of the lOtli, a big turtle tliat hove in sight gave 

 the crew someth ing to do. A dinghy was lowered and pursued the 

 turtle, but after along chase returned without it. The picture 

 with which this incident is illustrated is almost as interesting as 

 the clia-se must liavo been. The air was light fi'om the north-north- 

 west, the sea smooth. The record of the day was 118 miles, south, 

 87" west. 



Just before noon on the Uth Galatea exchanged colors with a 

 Portnguese bark standing to eastward, and in the afternoon a lirig 

 standing to eastward was observed. There was a swell from the 

 nortliwest, aud barely steerage M'ay. Only 91 miles were made, 

 the wind northwest to west, light, and the course south, 70° west. 



On the 12th Galatea made lier number to a steamer standing to 

 westward, and observed a tiark standing to eastward. During the 

 morning a whale showed up, but wasn't signalled. He was going 

 northeast. In tlie afternoon a bark standing to eastward was ob- 

 served. Only 65 miles were covered in the \'ariable light airs, the 

 course being south, 63" west. 



On the hltli, the distance made was even less, only 60 miles, with 

 variable nortliwesterly to northerly winds, the course being south, 

 77" west. 



On the morning of the 14th Galatea rati with balloon foresail to 

 the Flores, aud hove to, proceeding on her way again at 4:10, Imt 

 coming to again before 5, and a boat wa.s sent to shore. The crcv,' 

 was employed watering ship, and at noon shev eighed and pro- 

 ceeded with spinnaker. A fore-and-aft scliooner w'as observ ed to 

 the northward. Seventy miles were made that day, in spite of 

 stops, the course being south, 7;y' w est. 



Next day the wcotlier wa.s line aud sea Hinnoth, tliough there 

 were passing showers of light rain, aial 1' , observcflto 



nortliward. Late at n;ght the balloon : : - taken in, in 

 time to escape a passing squall. An even iniics -re made tliat 

 day, the winds being light, east to south, course north, 78" west. 



Se\'eral heavy shoAs^ers fell on the Galatea's deck next day, 

 though the \\dnd remained light and variable aud the sea smooth. 

 Many flj'ing flsh interested tlie sailors durhig the morning. The 

 sea rose anil lieeame lum])y later in the day, and the balloon was 

 shifted for working foresail. A school of porpoises going south 

 was seen closely enough to give Lieut. Henn an opportunity to 

 add another litt le sketch to his log. The weather was changeable 

 during the remainder of the day, with passing rain squalls. In 

 the afternoon the sea was cross and lumpy and showers frequent. 

 The ressel made 10 miles better than on the day prev ious, course 

 north, 39" west. 



The liglit air monotony was relieved on the 17tb by a fresh vind, 

 and there was a moderate sea. A bark was observed standing to 

 eastward. That afternoon gulf weed was observed Ijy Lieut. Henn 

 for the first time. There wei-e I'lenty of flying fish all around to 

 afford the captain a chance to display his artistic skill. Late in 

 the afternoon a bark was observed passing to the northward. The 

 sloop made 155 miles, A\dnd west to north, squally, course north, 60" 

 west. 



Next day the wind was light, and a1^7:15 colors were exchanged 

 with the French iiark Grosiiere of Nantes, standing to eastward. 

 The sea was smooth, and progress, as usual, slow. In the after- 

 noon a bark was observed standing to the eastward. An incident 

 rather out of tlie usual occurred that daj', or, at least, was dis- 

 co'.-ered then. On examining Ms patent log, Lieut. Henn found 

 tliat a shark had been tampering with it. Though the shark hadn't 

 found it palatable, he succeeded in seriously deranging it. The 

 wind, northerly and light, carried the vessel 140 miles that day, 

 course north, 75^ west. 



Next day the captain sighted a trunk of palm tree, but as it was 

 found to be covered with baruacles it hadn't recently left America. 

 That afternoon again Lieut. Henn found that another hungry 

 shark had been after his patent log, which had been disabled by a 

 hi fe which was plainly apparent. The wind being moderate, north- 

 ^^-est and westerly, aud the course north, 39° west, only 95 miles 

 were made. 



There were plenty of showers next morning, and the crew was 

 kept busv scraping and varnishing the dinghy. A steamer, stand- 

 ing eastward, was observed, aud Lieut. Henn found an insolent 

 dolphin followinc the cutter and easting an admiring eye on the 

 galLant sailors. Light airs from west-northwest to west carried 

 the sloop onlv 65 miles, course north. 40° west. 



Verv early next morning the balloon was shifted for the work- 

 ing fo'resaih and by 5.45 o'ehiek the weather was threatening and 

 sea rising. At 10 o'clock there was a cross and heavy sea; and the 

 foresail ^vas stowed. An hour later therii \va,3 a heavy head sea, 

 and the sloop was laid to on the port tack. In the afternuaii there 

 were strong winds and a passing rain squall, but toward nighiJaU 

 it ■became more regular, and the vessel tilled and proceeded north- 

 west by west, half west, but just before midnight she lay to again 

 on the'port tack. She made 110 miles in the 24 lionrs. 



Next day there ^vas a strong wind, ^^n.th rain, the sea Ijeing very 

 heavy, btit the ship making good weather of it. Oal.-itea made 

 numbers to a steamer standing to eastwaro. A brigantiue v,-a 

 obser\-ed standing to the southwest. Galatea filled aud prooeoed,- 

 but before 31 she lay to, it being squally, with rain and a cross sea" 

 In the afternoon the wind and sea subsided somewhat and slie 



served standing westnorthwcst. In the afternoon, Lieut. Henn 

 fell in with his first foggy weather, which was accompanied «dth 

 light rain and cross swell. Only 95 miles were made, course north, 

 75° west. 



Next dav, 24th, the wind fell light, wuth rain, but by noon there 

 was again' a heavy cross swell. Lieut. Henn entered the wind fresh 



to calm, criurse north, iW' west; distance made, 91 miles. 



On the 25th tliere n'as a li.ght air and heavy swell. The Galatea 

 exchanged colors with, and made uumbers to a British steamer 

 standing to eastward, and before noon passed a. bark, standing 

 eastward. Rings around the sun were observed at the time, betok 

 eningbad weather in prospect. In the evening a fotirmasted steamei 

 was obser od, well do^vn, standing to wcstwai-d, and she showed 

 colors. Just an even 100 miles were made that day, with a moder- 

 ate to light wind, south to southwest, course north, "lO" west. 



On the 261 h tlic wind ^\-as ver>' light and ariable, and at noon a 

 steamer was obserred, bound eastward. Thunder was heard to 

 westward, so that tlie voyagers got a little touch of what people on 

 shore were ha ving during that thundering week. In the afternoon 

 there were squalls with heavy rain, and only 80 miles were made, 

 the prevailing direction of the light wind being north-northeast to 

 southwest; ship's course, north, 75'' west. 



At 11:30 ne;vt morning Galatea: exchanged colors and made num- 

 liers 10 the Dutch steamer Zaandani, standing 1o eastward. That 

 night Lieut, and Mrs. Henn eajoved the beautiful aurora which 

 was visiljle on shore. The ^-ossel made 155 miles, wind west, south- 

 west, fresh to moderate, course north 45° west. _ 



Earlv at 2:30 A. M., on the 28th, a heavy squall, accompanied wtli 

 thunder, Ughtning and hcavT rain, -was experienced, and the 

 weather continued squally all the morning and the sea lumpy In 

 the afternoon there was a heavy, confused swell, and barely steer- 

 age \vav on, and the sky was overcast witli ram. It was on that 

 day thlt the best run was made, 185 miles, south-southwest to 

 southwest, course north, 70° -west. 



At daylight on the 29tb, Galatea observed a schooner to north- 

 ward, aiid at 3.30 o'clock made immbers aud exchanged colors with 

 the schooner Alex-ander Lawi-ence, the New York pilot boat Avliich 



liUed and proceeded west-northwest, and the pilot left. In the 

 afternoon a steamer was obser\-ed, well do\vn, standing to west- 

 ward. Weather fine and smooth. Only 75 miles were made all 

 dav. Wind west-southwest to northwest, course north, 67° west. 



Earlv next morniae-, the HOtli, Lieut. Hean shifted his balloou for 

 working foresa il, and at 8:10 o'clock sounded on Great George bank 

 in 50 fathoms '-sand, shell and small stone." At 10 o'clock, thUatea

 LCi'age way being difficult. The v essel made J2;j 

 miles, coursing nort'h, 07° west. , . , . , -..^ , . 



Earlv next morning Galatea ran into a dense tog, which litted at 

 6 o'clock, when Lieut. Henn set the balloiui foresail, but the tog 

 soon settled down again, bringing the i " :■. constant use. 



Again at dark the fog lifted, and the ay,,- ... yx: on the oow 



and cable beut, preparatory to ruimmu .- I'-tL l che coast, the 



vessel made 90 miles in the 34 honrs in a southwest light wind 

 coursing north, 70° west. 



At 7:30 o'clock Sunday morning the captain sounded, but found 

 no bottom. The fog was dense. Sounding again at noon, there 

 was fonnd to be 35 fathoms. The density of the fog hadn't been 

 affected up to noon, but at 8:30 P. M. lighted, and the captain 

 observed laud ahead. At 5;30 Thatcher's Island was alieam. The 

 course was changed for Marblehead, and at 7:30 Galatea came to 

 anchor in Marblehead luvrbor. The last day's run was 63 miles. 



THE LAKE Y. R. A. ROUND. 



THIS year the cruise of the Lake Yacht Racing Association be-

The following account of the race is from our correspondent, 

 " Port Tack "• . 



BeHeviUe, Out., July 31.— The eleventh annual regatta, of the Bay 

 of Quinte Y. C, which was sailed over the usual course yesterday, 

 was the greatest success in the number and quality o'f I lie com- 

 petitors that the club has ever bad. Tlie starters in the first class, 

 over 28.ft. corrected length, numbered eight of tlie fastest craft on 

 freshwater; m the se(-oi]d class, over 35ft. aurl under 38ft., five; 

 and in the third class, under 25ft., se' eu. Tlie wind was, unfor- 

 tunately, light, but the beauty of the spectacle was unharmed by 

 that part, as all the fleet were enabled to carry their kites, which 

 gave them a line appearance. The result in the first class was a 

 glorious surprise, as nobody supposed that the Norah could beat 

 the Atalanta. even with time allowance, but she did so to tlie ex- 

 tent of 18m. 1214s. heyond allowance. The idea al-o that the 

 ^Vhite Vv iugs, a new craft of medium size, half finished in hull and 

 so hastily got ready that she had only been under canvas twice 

 before the race was started, yet she won third prize very easily. 

 She will evidently be a, dangerous one in her class. It is only 

 necessary to state that Norah and Atalanta at once ran away from 

 their followers, and that the former, having obtained tlie lead 

 before the first buoy, kept on increasing it every foot nf tlie way. 

 The start Ava.s, as the tigures show, a very fine one, aud the \yind 

 was so light that topsails had to be shifted only once, The oflicial 

 figures are as follows:

In the scond class there was another supri.se in the victory of the 

 little Minnie A., of ttanauoque. a craft v^dl^ch was built here sev- 

 eral years ago by Mr. John Addinii Vi lio, althotigh a profes.sional 

 vachtsman, is an anialeur rule-oi^-tliumli designer, llcj' victory, 

 however, was tlio i-esult more of mistake and accident than any- 

 thing else, though the wind ^vas just what she wanted. The start 

 in this class, although there were but. fl\'e starters, v, as very slov- 

 enly, Laui-a 'being hatidieappcd Ifi.^as. and lolanthe Im. tis. Tlie latter, 

 which came out the day before the race with a. new stern and new 

 mainsail, jib and foresail, very soon ran into seeond \)osition and 

 was within a length or two of the Gracie at tlic tirst mark, but 

 standing too far to windward for the second mark slie lost nearly 

 a mile and let tlie others up again. When liauled on the wind it 

 was fonnd that the experiments worked badly. She steered \'ery_ 

 hard and worse than all, licr ne^v stern was found to have leaked 

 so badlv that the water was up over her cabin floor. In this plight 

 she was of course beaten, hut made a splendid fight. The times 

 are as follows;

THE 111th regatta, second championship, was sailed at Swamp- 

 scott , July^ol. The club had unusually bad luck in the way of 

 weather; the cntrv was a \ ery good one, 23 boats, hut the day 

 opened wuth rain and a flat calm, making it impos.sible to reach 

 starting point e.^cept by rowing, aud to all appearances ma.king it 

 hopeless to start the race. The start was adver..sed tor 12 o clock, 

 but it was 1 when a verv light air struck in, and e\ en then stake- 

 boats wdiich had started home before were not near their positions, 

 so course was changed and boats went round Egg Rock and the 

 Little Nahant stakeboat, 5 miles. ^- „ t 



■watch had a walk over for a prize and practically the same for 

 pennant: but the i-atboat race was close and interesting. In second 

 cla'^s Hoideu did best on the beat to Kgg Rock, but overstood to 

 the eastward, and Peri picked a good deal by tacking earlier. After
