FOREST AND STREAM. 



SB 



about an hour it is resolved to push on for GuernviUe at oueo 

 that, the neeossitities of camp can be replaced and supplies laid in, 

 so puddles are kept moving-, and about 4 o'clock the cheers of an 

 expectant crowd announce, the arrival. 



The purchase made and the canoes thoroughly examined and 

 commented on, camp is pitched about a mile below the town in 

 a. magnificent redwood canon; the commodore and crew return to 

 sleep at a, hotel, all their blankets being wet. After a hearty din- 

 ner of scrambled eggs, chops, stew and peaches, Columbia aud 

 SnoUy proceed to huilrl a campfire worthy of the name, then 

 spreading the cushions and wraps iu the warmth, pipes being 

 lighted, they give themselves up to solid enjoyment, Reposing at 

 length they watch the great redwood logs crack and consume in 

 the intense heat, -v aried "by fireworks when a big fellow falls into 

 the red ashes, till finady they get too sleepy to swap yarns and 

 conclude to turn in. Mrs. Columbia is snugly tucked in on a fine 

 hed of redwood shoots in the canoe, and declares the interior of 

 the canoe teni to be the perfection of snugnoss. Columbia and 

 Snolly make a joint couch between the two boats. 



When the Commodore appears the next morning ho finds break- 

 fast already disposed of, and it does not take long to get afloat. 

 The river is now getting broader aud deeper, with very few rapids, 

 and occasionally in favorable bends the Commodore's little 

 auxiliary sail cornea into use, when the other two paddle along- 

 side and hang on. At noon a halt is made at the lovely pool made 

 famous by the annual camp of the Bohemian Club of San Fran- 

 cisco, and a bath is proposed and agreed to. The water is some- 

 what chilly so early in the year, and Mrs. Columbia, going in with 

 a very scientific header, makes a hasty exit and cannot be per- 

 suaded to try it again. From here it is hard paddling, the current 

 being slow and a strong wind blowing up stream. Poor Snolly, 

 who is right on the top of the water and gets the full benefit of it, 

 has to put iu big licks to keep up. However, at 3:30 Duncan's 

 Mills bridge heaves iu sight, and very soon the canoes are run up 

 for the last time, the crews receiving a heartv welcome from 

 friends on shore. The trip is over, and with heavy hearts t he 

 canoes are packed and put in a box car, and then Snolly, that 

 nothing should be wasted, proceeds to manufacture out of the re- 

 maining eggs and milk a consolatory milk punch. Having some 

 doubts, however, as to the clean bill o* health of the ingredients 

 after their journey, he invites Columbia to first mug, and though 

 that bold mariner declared it to be delicious, a certain stricken 

 look in his face awakens suspicions, aad developments are 

 awaited. Sad it is that in the hour of victory so fatal a wreck 

 should have overtaken the Columbia.. It suffices to say that 

 Snolly and the Commodore did not drink punch. Returning to 

 the city and to the routine of business we treasure up the remem- 

 brance of our short holiday, and refreshed inmiud and body pitch 

 in with a will that the days may appear short till we can again 

 float away with the rippling of the water and woodland sounds in 

 our ears in happy contrast to the busy hum of city life.

ROYAL C. C. SAILING RACE AND REGATTA. 



FOR the sailing race on the Sthinst., held in Teddington Reach, 

 the following canoes started: Charm, W. Stewart: Sabrina, 

 Rede Turner; Pearl, 1885, F. G. Knight; Etna, G. F. Holme; Illa- 

 warra, A. B. Ingram, and they had a trying time of it in a strong 

 wind, believed to be blowing f rom S. W . , but as it came down 

 through the trees on the Middlesex shore from several points of 

 the compass, varied by an occasional twist up or down stream, it 

 is somewhat difficult to record its precise direction. With such 

 tempting opportunities before them, it is scarcely necessary to 

 say that Sabrina aud her skipper took their customary bath at an 

 early period of the race; in fact the swimming entertainments 

 given by this canoeist are becoming sucli a regular feature of the 

 R. C. C. sailing races that oue is naturally led to wondering 

 whether those of the future may all have such happy endings as 

 those of the past. 



Pearl 1885, remarkably well handled, crossed the line at gunfire, 

 followed 15s. later by Charm and Elna. Tliis latter, built iti great 

 measure by her owner, who also designed her, may be described 

 as an excellent specimen of a second class cruising canoe and 

 would most probably have taken second prize, but for having 

 fouled buoy at end of first round. Hlawarra. also a new second 

 class canoe, showed a rare turn of speed in the first run down, but 

 was apparently over-canvassed for the day and for the inboard 

 position of her skipper. Charm speedily assumed the lead, and 

 despite broken reef-gear, she was pluckily kept going by her 

 skipper, who succeeded in keeping her bottom downward and 

 securing the first prize. With Sabrina capsized, Illawarra retired, 

 and Elna disqualified, second prize fell to Pearl 1885.

The annual regatta of this club took place on Saturday, July 9, 

 and was very well attended. The proceedings were again en- 

 livened by a camp, and a camping competition, which proved suc- 

 cessful last year, was repeated on this occasion. In this competi- 

 tion points were awarded: First, for rapidity of making camp; 

 second, the canoe as a single-handed cruiser; third, the tent and 

 its set, up; fourth, the cooking gear and mess traps; fifth, the hed 

 and other tent fittings; sixth, the appliances for camp, carriage of 

 food and clothing, and for fresh water and clothing for rain. The 

 competitors were P. Nisbet, A. C. TIamerton, G. F. Holmes, T. H. 

 Holding and S. Futcher. Nisbet and Holmes both showed canoe 

 tents, but the others preferred shore tents. Hamerton's canoe 

 was an open Canadian, while Holmes and Holding had second class 

 sailing canoes, those of Nisbet and Futcher being more of the 

 ordinary paddling type. Holmes was very smart "setting up his 

 deck tent, and was ready some minutes before the rest. Holding's 

 outfit, was very neat and well arranged, and, after a careful in- 

 spection all round, the judges awarded him the prize, Holmes 

 secured second honors. Another tent which attracted much at- 

 tention was that of W. Baden-Powell; but this was not entered 

 for competition. With regard to the racing, the entries for some 

 of the es r ents were larger than have been known for some years, 

 notably in the paddling and sading race, when ten starters put in 

 an appearance. The paddling challenge cup again fell to Porter, 

 and the club four beat a crew from the R. N. A. V. over a half- 

 mile course. 



Sailing Race, for Open Canadian Canoes.— G. A. Robinson was 

 ordered to sail over for this race, hut carried away one of his lee 

 hoards, and was unable to get round the course. 



Paddling, Canadian Singles, y 2 Mile.— E. B. Edwards, 1; J. Day, 

 2; A. C. Hamerton, 0. E. B. Edwards, of Toronto, Canada, soon 

 took the lead, and eventually won easily by four lengths. 



Paddling, any Canoe, Canoe, (and load if necessary) not under 

 lOOlbs., 1 Mile.— G. J. B. Porter, 1; P. Nisbet, 2; E. W. Lewis, 3. 

 This was the closest race of the day, Nisbet pressing Porter very 

 hard for the best part of the course. Porter, however, drew ahead 

 slowly, and won by a, clear length. 



Paddling, Canadian Tandem, Open Canoes, Single Blade Paddles, 

 M Mile. — D. H. Marrable and J. S. Ellis, 1; G. F. Yeo and C. Tower, 

 0; P. Nisbet and J. Day, 0; A. C. Hamerton and C. F. Mendham, 0. 

 Won bv a length. 



Challenge Cup, Paddling, 1 Mde.— G. J. B. Porter, 1; E.W. Lewis, 

 2; P. Nisbet, 0. Porter soon went ahead and kept the lead to the 

 finish. Nisbet retired at the half distance. 



Sailing and Puddling Race, Paddle First Round and Sad the 

 Second.— There were ten competitors in this race, who all came to 

 the starting line, and at the completion of the paddling round In- 

 gram had a good lead, Math Turner, Powell, B. Quincey, Knight, 

 Holding, Stewart, R. Qnincey, Edwards and Tredwen following in 

 the order named. The first class canoes, however, soon worked to 

 the front in the sailing round, and a good match concluded as fal- 

 len's: W. Stewart, Charm, 1:56:45, first, E. B. Tredwen, Pearl, 

 1:57:12, second; W. Baden-Poweil, Nautilus, 1:57:35; F. G. Knight, 

 Pearl 85, 1:57:45. Others not timed. Turner capsized. 



Sailing Race, Four Rounds.— First Class: W. Baden-Powell, 

 Nautilus; E. B. Tredwen, Pearl; F. G. Knight, Pearl 85; W. Stew- 

 art, Charm. Second Class: Sabrina, Rede Turner; Vanessa, B. de 

 Q. Qnincey; Illawarra, A. B. Ingram, At the conclusion of the 

 first round the order was: Nautilus, Pearl, Pearl 85, Charm, Van- 

 essa and IllaWarra; Turner having seized a favorable opportun- 

 ity for another capsize. The wind was very puff y and variable, 

 and afforded no true criterion of the merits of the canoes, which 

 changed positions constantly during the race. Pearl held the lead 

 at conclusion of second round, Nautilus regained it in the third, 

 while tbe conclusion of the race saw Pearl once more to the fore, 

 with Nautilus second and Charm third. In the second class race, 

 Vanessa had first prize and illawarra second. 



Paddling Tandem— G. J. B. Porter and E. W. Lewis, 1; Percy 

 Nisbet and C. O'Malley, 0. Porter aud Lewis led from start to 

 finish. 



Sailing (Running)— Pearl '85, F. G. Knight, 1; Pearl, E. B. Tred- 

 wen, 2. 



Chase over Land and Water— W. Brundrett. 1; B. de Q. Qaincey, 

 0: Percy Nisbet, 0. This, as usual, created great amusement among 

 the spectators. Nisbet was first across the river and back, but 

 v Brundrett was round the Middlesex shore post first on the next 

 journey, and, taking things very coolly, won the prize. 



Four-Paddle Race-R. N. A. V. vs. R. C. C.-R. C. C. crew: G. J. 

 B. Porter, E. W. Lewis, S. Futcher, A. C. Hamerton, 1; R.N. A. V. 

 crew: S. Roberts, H. Macluro, Percy Nisbet, J. Day, 0. A good 

 race, won by little over a length. 



Scratch Fours-G. Porter, P. Nisbet, J. Day, D. H. Marrable, 1; 

 E. V. Miles, C. O'Malley, E. W. Lewis, J. Paul, 0. Won easily by 

 Porter's crew. 



The races were umpired by Mr. G. Herbert, the senior mate of 

 the club, assisted by Messrs. E. A. Leach, H. Church, S. Futcher 

 and the secretary. Mr. Barnes again kindly placed his launch at 

 the disposal of the committee for the day.— London Field. 



BROOKLYN 0. C— The eighth race for the B. O. C. challenge 

 cup was sailed on July 30, over the club course of Wi miles, with a 

 strong southerly breeze and flood tide. At the signal Evangeline, 

 H. C. Ward, was first to cross the line, closely followed by Minx, 

 M. V. Brokaw; Niente, F. L. Dunnell; Kolpio, R. S. Blake; and 

 Queen Bess, R. J. Wilkin, followed in the order named. On the 

 run up to the first buoy, Minx gained a few feet on Evangeline 

 aud rounded ahead; here the steering gear of the latter gave way, 

 and the time lost in making repairs ended her chance of winning, 

 though she gained considerable on the beat home from the second 

 buoy. Kelpie got the best of the Monte and secured third place.

ANOTHER CAPSIZED CENTERBOARD. 



THIS time it is no sanclballasted coaster, nor open skimmini 

 dish in the hands of a drunken crew, but a large deckec 

 yacht with lead ballast, fully rigged and equipped, handled by an 

 experienced captain, familiar with the yacht and the waters he 

 was sailing in. The yacht was a "good honest American center- 

 board sloop," with plenty of beam to make her stand up, and 

 plenty of "bottom for to sail on" and a nice, roomy cockpit, for 

 comfort. A squall, such as we have had dozens of during the late 

 sultry weather, and such as may be expected any day in summer 

 in these latitudes, struck the yacht while she was under way with 

 her captain at the wheel; sh-j capsized, sank, and two of her crew 

 were drowned. Fortunately the mishap occurred in a crowded 

 river where tugs were close at hand and the others of the party 

 were rescued; but had the capsize occurred a little later, when 

 further on the cruise, the loss would have been much greater. 



The Miuerva has long been known as the crack yacht of the 

 Delaware River, where she was launched from Albertson Bros.'s 

 shop in 1865, being christened Delaware. She has been altered 

 and rebuilt at times and for 7 or 8 years has belonged to the Min- 

 erva Y. C, of Philadelphia. On Saturday, at 2 P. M., she left her 

 moorings off Camden, N. J., for a cruise to New York and New- 

 port, with fifteen members of the club besides the captain and a 

 crew of four. The members of the party were : Deputy Coroner 

 Thomas J. Powers, Common Councilman Charles Hammill, Dr. 

 Sidehotham, Thomas Kennedy, Lawrence Coleman, George Alden, 

 Thomas Casey, Jr., James Farley, William Arnold, Frederick 

 Kusch, A. Lincoln English, William Clark, Clayton M. Hun- 

 sicker, Nicholas Lockett, James Wetherill, R. P. Thomson, sail- 

 ing master; Thomas Miller, Francis Richards, Andrew Richards 

 crew, and William White, steward. 



Before going far a violent squall of rain and wind struck the 

 yacht and capsized her, the big cockpit fiHed, then the cabin, and 

 she quickly sank. The river is crowded with tugs, and two of 

 these, the Minnie and Archambault, came to the rescue, passing 

 a line to the yacht and towing her into shoal water after picking 

 up those who clung to the rigging. Mr, Kennedy unfortunately 

 attempted to swim toward the shore and was drowned in spite of 

 the efforts of those on the Archainbault, while White, the stew- 

 ard, sank with the yacht, although on deck with the others. 



The boat sank with 4ft. of water over her house, and on Sunday 

 a diver descended and secured the watches, money and other 

 valuables of the party, after which the Minnie towed her into 

 shoaler water, aud as the tide fell she was bailed out and towed to 

 Market street, Camden. Beyond the damage by water to furni- 

 ture and cabinet work, and a small hole in the side, she is unin- 

 jured, and will soon be refitted and ready for another disaster. 

 The bodies of the two men were not recovered until Monday. 

 Mr. Kennedy leaves a wife and two children and Steward White 

 leaves a wifo and one child. 



The capsized boat is a very fair example of the type to which 

 she belongs, fully as safe as two-thirds of her kind. She is 52ft. 

 over aU, 48ft. 1. w. 1., 17ft. beam, and 4ft. Gin. draft, with 10 tons of 

 ballast. She has been deepened and hipped of late years, but is 

 still shoal in body. On deck she has the usual large cockpit, wide 

 companion and low sill, with high trunk cabin. Of course she is 

 a centerbo'ard hoat, aud with the big rig necessary to obtain any 

 speed from such a model. 



It would seem that one such instance would be enough to con- 

 demn the entire type, but does any one for a moment suppose that 

 it will have the slightest influence on the great majority of those 

 who go afloat in search of pleasure? The capsize of the Mystery 

 was satisfactory explained by the friends of the type in the 

 usual way, ignorance, drunkenness; not the fault of the boat, etc.; 

 but no such excuse will avail here. A boat with a big local repu- 

 tation as the best, of her class, handled by a skipper who had just 

 been t he recipient of a gold medal as a testimonial of the esteem 

 iu which ho was held by his employers, with a full crew and bal- 

 lasted as well as the model would admit. No doubt the squall was 

 violent, but the great danger to which vessels are exposed in 

 American waters comes from just, such squalls, which are frequent 

 and heavy and may be expected any day in summer. What Min- 

 erva has done is nothing unusual, not unexpected by those who 

 are not wilfuUy blind, nothing that two-thirds of the American 

 pleasure fleet are not just as likely to do to-morrow, for they are 

 like her in principle and detaU. 



She is of shoal draft, just the boat for "our waters," could run 

 into any harbor, needed no legs to hold her up when aground— yet 

 she capsized in water deep enough to drown her crew. 



She had good beam to hold her up, sailed on a even keel, no 

 hanging on by tbe eyelids or walking on the side of the cabin, as 

 in the despised cutter— yet ber beam could not save her from a 

 fatal calamity. 



She has a "bottom for to sail on" and a good American bilge, no 

 "plank on edge" or weighted shingle about her model— but neither 

 bilge nor bottom would have sa ved the dozen helpless men cling- 

 ing to her rigging. 



She had a nice, roomy cockpit, plenty of space for chairs, room 

 to carry ladies, easy entrance to cabin, wide doors and low sill, no 

 crawling down a ladder as in a cutter— but this cockpit and door 

 proved a death-trap as soon as her limit of stability was passed. 



A pleasant, prospect certainly for all who sail in such boats, and 



•-.••ally for those who take wives and children with them. A 

 puff ot wind harder than common, as in the Mystery and Grayling, 

 an incompetent captain, as in the Mohawk; a summer squall, as 

 in the cases of Sarah J. Craig, Sophia and Minerva; a moment's 

 hesitation, a false move of the wheel, or a line jammed, and you 

 are drowned like a rat in a hole. 



The risk of drowning is ever present on the -water; no vessel 

 floats that, may not be "holed" by some means; collisions occur 

 in spite of all laws and regulations, and boats of all kinds are lia- 

 ble to be cast away through stress of weather; but the one great 

 cause of loss of life is the only one of these mishaps which is abso- 

 lutely preventable. No thickness of skin will prevent a yacht 

 being "holed," and watertight compartments are not always 

 practicable in this class of vessel; there are mishaps and errors 

 of navigal ion, and chances of weather which may entail unavoida- 

 ble risks; but the great evil, capsizing and filling, may be easilv 

 and certainly guarded against. 



Less beam, greater depth, low ballast, reasonable sail area, 

 shoal cockpit, well drained, small companion aud high door sill; 

 with these the evil is avoided and yachting and pleasure, sailing is 

 made as safe or safer than any method of water transfer in large 

 vessels. 



The opposite of these points has always prevailed in American 

 practice and theory, with the result that the drownings here in a 

 single season exceed by far the total of the yacht fleets of the 

 world. Great beam, shoal draft, bad ballast, over-snarring and 

 open deckwork claim their victims by the score every month in 

 summor, and will continue to do so as long as the old principles 

 and theories hold sway. 



LAKE Y. R. A. 



THIS year the round begins at the head of Lake Ontario, the 

 events being, July 26, R. C. Y. C, Toronto; 28, Toronto Y. C; 

 Aug. 1, race at Charlotte. 'Rochester); 4, race at Oswego; 8, King- 

 ston: 11, Belleville. The fleet gathered at Toronto on Julv 25 and 

 on the following day the race of the R. C. Y. C. was started, but 

 failed to finish within the time limit. On Julv 27 the race of the 

 T. Y. C. was sailed in order to leave the 28th for a resail of the 

 R. C. Y. C. 



The course for Class A and Class 1 yachts was from line between 

 judges' boat (Vivid) and Buoy No. 1, moored off Exhibit ion wharf, 

 and S.W. by W. % W. 5 miles to Buoy No. 2, then S.E. by E. % E. 

 to Buoy No. 3, then due north to Buoy No. 1, then a second time 

 around same triangle. For Class 2 yachts, once around triangle, 

 and back into bay, finishing in front of club house. 



At the time of starting there was little wind, and the larger 

 boats were handicapped. The time for their start was 10:20, with 

 5m. to cross, while for the small ones the time was 10:40, with same 

 limit. The actual times of start were:
