THE DEATH OF MR. McMULLEN. 



THERE is sometliop particularly sad about the death of Mr. R. T 

 McMulleti, on board thelirtip sniKle-hander Perseus. Alirilpmore 

 than a w^ek Ufjo he fet our. in the Perseus to sail ^iu^le hanrierl to the 

 Land''? Eort. He had done such tuiiiK.s before— notably hi ISGT, when 

 he made his wcll-lmowu single-handed Ciuise in the Proeyon; hut 

 perhap.s the.^e feats wei e edipsed hy his achievement in 1880, when 

 his crew havu e: left him, he .sailed his 19 ton yawl Orion from 

 Cherlx.nrt; to the TmIc of Wight. In poblishins' the account of tbis trip, 

 under tbe titin of "How [ cametri Sail Alone in the 19 tons Yawl Orion," 

 he took The opportunity to make some very origiuil reni.ark-R on the 

 labor C|U^stlon whi h showed him to be a very deep thinker Mr 

 MnMullen «a'^ anything but a foolhardy sailor; all his plans were most 

 carefully tiiouj?lit out, atid so carcfuhy executed that he never bad to 

 write the worn failure. His sail over the "Jubilee course" round the 

 British Isles in the urion in lys'i' (a lont? account of which was pub- 

 lished in the /' ield) shows what he .?ould do in the way of organiza- 

 tion. After this achievement iie sold the Orion to Mr. C. C. Dallas, 

 and, in writitis' to us on the subject, said : "I cannot conceal the in- 

 tense pleasure I derive from the thought that .she was not sold at the 

 time .'ilie was last advertised, which was two vears prior to the Jubi- 

 lee course. Whether T should have taken her to sea a^rain would proba ■ 

 bly have depended upon as sudden a faucv as tlie last; at all events 

 ray determination was never by any inferior performance to lessen 

 the efl'ect on my own mind of that most perfectly orpanized and 

 successful cruise. My first cruise in 1850, whiih then seemed to me 

 very toruiidatiie, was round the Nore and my last id 1887 round the 

 British Isles; and there I am content to leave it. It is not impro- 

 bable, however, that 1 may build another craft of ibe Procyon class 

 for quiet arans. meut; but as far as I know at present, my more am- 

 bitious ijiidf rfakr r^s arc. at an end." This other craft was the Perseus, 

 and It vv.qs on board her that Mr. ilciUnllen sailed and died alone on 

 June !.">. 1 n.'it it was the way he would have met his death, alone 

 upon t i e si'O. but withoui disaster, we cannoi help believing: by what 

 cause hfo failed hiai wo have not yet heard, but it was Chrouph no 

 disaster or misadventure by tempe.st, or by his handling of the yacht, 

 and we feel sure bi.s end was serene and confident, ^ijr. iMcMullen was 

 unhke any ottier yachtsman we ever met; we have known men just 

 as fond of the sea as he was. but never any one who regar leo it with 

 such reverential interest, yachting and yacht racing in tbe ordinary 

 sense of the terms had no charms for him'; out he v>'as ju^-t affected by 

 that ''mystic spell which none but sailors knov\- or tee'i, and none bur 

 they can tell." He had just told the story of his last cruise in tbe 

 Perseus, a.nd we sent him the last proofs of ttie account on .luae 11, 

 -which we believe he received upon calling in at Dover, 'the cruise of 

 the Pe^-seus is told at length, and we hope to be able to puelish it io 

 the Mield as soon as the yacht racing season is over.— JYe/rf, June 30 

 The end of Mr. R. T, McMullen was much the same as we expected' 

 —peaceful, and not the result of any accident or misadventure. He 

 left Greenhithe cn June 10 m the high spu-iis common to bitu when 

 about seitmg out on a trip to sea, and all had gone well with him 

 as usual when he lauded at Eastbourne on the iSih, and posted a 

 card containing a brief extract from his log up to date. Tne next 

 heard of Jiira was the telegram on the 16th referred to in our last issue. 

 He was found on the loth sitting in tbe cockpit with his face looking 

 towar,i ihe sky, and the vessel saiUng herself along. The doctor 

 said he had been dead twenty four noiu-s, when his body was found 

 the cause of death being failure of the neart's action. He must| 

 therefore, have died in mid-Ctiannel on Sunday, tiie I4th. ae was 

 lauded at Beuztval .about sis miles west, of Trouville). and the Vice- 

 consul, Mr. A. O'Neil, at once communicated witu his family and 

 arranged for the funeral. Mrs. Mcftluilen and his brother Mr J 

 McMullen, reached Beuzeval on the 18th, and Mr. K. T. McMullen 

 was buried the next day m tbe cemetery at that place, after a 

 simple service in the Protestant church.— ifleW, June 37. 



"SMALL YACHTS." 



THE vigorous a.nd trenchant pen of Mr. Kunhardt, ever ready 

 111 the cause of yachting, whether to report a stirring race, to 

 repel the assaults of adversaries and write the praises of houf at, 

 seawortny ships, or to win fresh converts to the special form oJ 

 yachting, single-hand sailing, which was his chief delight, never 

 did better work than in the volume which, already familiar to 

 yachtsmen all over the world, has just appeared la inert ased bulk 

 and a new dress. Since tho booK first appeared in 1S85 it has 

 round a ready sale m all places where yachie or boats are sailed, 

 a.nd_ )Tb sterling merits have been generally recognized. In pre- 

 paring a new edition a great deal of the original matter has been 

 tJhanged and entirely rt-wntten to meet the increasing demands 

 of yachtsmen; in particula.r, the chaoters on designing, in which 

 Ibe ent.re series of operations is described at lengtn, all thtj calcu- 

 lations being given, making this part of the subject far more com- 

 plete than the original scope of the work seemed to call for. Since 

 the first edition appeared tho range of types lias become far wider, 

 and m conformity with this growth a number of new plates have 

 been added. In doing this much attention has been paid to the 

 very large class of shoal boats which must always flaa a general 

 use In American waters, and which from their moderate cost 

 simplicity of consiruorion and adaptibility tor such water as is 

 round ever.v where, both inland and on the coast, are esnecially 

 valuable to the amdteiir designer and builder and the Corinthian 

 cruiser. The hook as a wiiole is too well known to yachtsmen to 

 require a detailed description, but to those not familiar with it we 

 may say that it covers itie whole range of designing, construction, 

 nttmg up and handling, the information oeing of the most .-imple 

 and practical sort, and based in every case on examples taken 

 from all types, deep and shoal, wide and narrow. Tbe new 

 volume cont.iins b50 pages and 87 plates, compared to 500 pages 

 and t.i plates m the old; and in addition is handsomely bound in 

 leather with cloth sides. 



CAPSIZE OF A LAUNOH.-On July 12 a partv of four, Messrs. 

 Louis Caemmerer, G. i\L Norwood, D. R,. Uennis and Louden 

 White, left Ji.ast Rockaway for a run omside in a S8rt. naphtha 

 launch, the Ethel. Mr. Caemmerer, the owner, and his two friends 

 knew nothing about managing the boat, and White, a fisherman 

 and boatman, was taken to run the launch. On first starting out 

 two ladies were in the party, but as they became seasick they 

 were sec ashore, the launch then ran out tnrough Long Beach In- 

 let, though the sea was very rougb, tbe partv probably being 

 ignorant of the danger. When attempting to come m, at about 3 

 o'clock, the launch capsized in crossing the bar. After a long 

 swim, Wnite succeeded in reaching a large spar buoy, tue other 

 three being drowned. For three hours the man clung to the tmoy, 

 which was tossing about in a heavy sea, the sun beating down on 

 nim. A little after 5 o'clock he was seen by a passing boat, the 

 sloop Agues Dean, with a sailing party on boax'd; and after great 

 rilfliculiy, on account of tne heavy sea, he was taken off m the 

 Bloop s yawl by a young man, John Martin. WhUe was badly 

 bruised and so exhausted as to be nearly helpless, and it was only 

 through the skill and daring of Martiu that he was hauled into 

 the yawl and transferred to the slo.- p. He was weil cared for and 

 finally reached home, the sole survivor. The launch came ashore 

 next, morning, with a hole in the bottom and boiler and stack 

 missmg. Wnite has told several different stories about an ex- 

 plosion, but the facta all point to the conclusion that ihe disaster 

 was a capsize due to recjilessaess ou tne part of the owner in 

 takmg tne boat into such water, and ignorance In handling 

 her, 



ALBOBAK.— A single race has proved the need of radical 

 cnanges m the new Paine boat, both in construction and trim. 

 She nas been out at Lawley's lor new channels, to carry three m 

 place of two shrouds, while the interior will be braced as strongly 

 as po.ssible. She leaked so badly m the race thai the water was 

 up to the cabin floor. The other changes are a longer bowsprit by 

 rftt., the cutting away of tbe forefoot, the removal or l,0O01b-^. ot 

 lead from the tore end of K-bcI, and the boning of a foot ot wood 

 xo her rudder. The onb boats in the. new fleet which were fitted 

 witn channels not obviously defective arc Barbara ana Nautilus. 

 IJoth ot Obese boais are strapped over tne trumes wuhsttel, Bar- 

 bara very tuorougulj . The other boats, witn tne exception of 

 Wonana, are very deficient in tne special .strapping and bracing 

 lba,t IS the vital feature of light construction, there being no 

 straps under deck or across the frames. The worst part is i hat it 

 will oe impossible to remedy this defect In a satihfaciory manner 

 in a boat already completed. While Gloriana is far better than 

 TUe iiostou boats m her bottom and sidiiS, her original deck con- 

 .struociou was very detective in the lack of diagonal stiaps or 

 pracea, and after Per trial trip a complete system of uiagonai flU- 

 mg pieces between the beams, backed by steel straps ax^m.. was 

 added. All of the 46-tootbr,s, with one or two excciitiuus, nave 

 been enjoying a mucn needed rest for the pj.SL ten days, either 

 being repaired and strei.gtneued or underguiug al orations iu rig.

EDWARD BURGESS. 



T"^' v^^f*!.^*'™ generally known for some weeks that Mr. Burgess 

 1 ^ ?i seriously ih with t>phoid f. ver at his Boston home, 



but 01 late Ihe Mev,s had been so reassuring, at, lesst in the reports 

 that have appea.red in the papers, that there was no thought of a 

 fatal termination. Late last week, however, he experienced a 

 senous relapse which resulted in his death on Sunday a-: 4 P M. 

 Edward Burge.ss was the tourtli of the five sons of Boniamin F 

 Burgess, a. wealthy Boston merchant and ship owner, Ed wai'd 

 was born at Sand wich. Barnstable county. M k«s , on June 30. 1848, 

 and like all of his brothers was tamilior witii boats from hi- early 

 years. In the ten years from 1870 to 1880 their yachts— and they 

 ownid nian\— were famous abrut Bevetlv, Marbl-head and Na"- 

 hanta.H prize winners, alwavs being well handled: while in model 

 and outfit they were generally abend of their fellows. A^ a hoy 

 young Burgess fitted for collecre at EpesS. DixwelPs private Latin 

 fSi'^^Uf" Boston, entering Harvard College and graduating in 

 1871. With all his love for yachting and open air life, Mr. Bur- 

 gess was by nature a student, qniet, thoughtful and retiring- a 

 great deal of his lime when in college and after graduation b' iin' 

 devoted to natural history, in particular to entomology, in which 

 he was long recognized as an authority. In 1872 hewaseleeied 

 spcretary of tho Society of Natural History of Boston, which 

 of&ce he held for fifteen years, yvhen the pressure of his new pro- 

 fession compelled him to resign it. While on a trlii throuKh 

 Europe some time after leaving colleee, he became af quaintred 

 with Migs Catherine L. SuUivam.of Columbus, O., and they were 

 mfirried in 1877. 



Mr. Burgfcss was never idle, he was instrxietor in entomology at 

 Hirvard for many years, while a great deal of his time was given 

 to mathem4tieal studies, but it was not until the failure of his 

 father, obf ut IHKO, that he went into business, forming with his 

 brother Sidney the firm of Burgess Brothers, yacht designers and

agents, at 13 Exchange place. Boston. His skill as a yachtsraao 

 Eind an .amatuer designer naturally led him to select a vocation so 

 closely allied with his tastes, but for a lime the work of the firm, 

 which was practically Mr. Burgess alone, his brother soon wiih- 

 drawing. was merely buying and selling yachts. His first order 

 for a design was in 1884, when he turned but the cutter Rondina, 

 a staunch little cruiser that has made her name known along the 

 whole Eastern coast, for Dr. W. F. Whitney. When, in the'same 

 year, the news came ot a challenge from the fastest cutter in 

 GrcEit Britain for the America's Cup. held bv the New York Y. C , 

 Mr. Burgess had nothing more imposing to show of his work than 

 this same little cutter, but he had among his friends men with 

 the prido of Boston and the East at heart", and with snflacient con- 

 fideiice in him to venture with his aid on a task that was com- 

 monly condemned as presumptuous and absurd. Although a part 

 o' the credii must he given to his associates who shared tbe risk 

 and cost, the leader among them being Gen. Paine, (o Mr. Burgess 

 was intrusted the task of desiening and superintending the new 

 yeninre, soon to become famous everywhere as the Puritan 

 How she came to New York almost unnoticed, save for the sneers 

 of some of the papers and the usual anonynnous "prominent 

 yachtsman," how she carried all before her in the trial races, 

 and later on defeated Genesta twice; how she was followed 

 next year by Mayflower and a year later by Volunteer, each 

 repeating the victory of Puritan, is a tale too familiar to 

 need telling again. After Puritan came Sachem, schooner, 

 Titania, cutter, Pappoose, cutter, and the long list that was 

 crowned when last season closed by little Gossoon. O C this year's 

 work It is too early to speak yet. not until the season closes can 

 the final result be known, butthe fl-et whose accounts are already 

 practically closed through the short life accorded to all modern 

 racing boats before they are outclassed, ha\^e made a reputation 

 for their creator which will live as long as yachts are sailed. 

 I hough his fame rests chiefly on his yachts, Mr. Burgess has done 

 equally good work in diflferent lines, fishermen, pilot boatc and 

 ot Her craft. In 1887 he was appointed bv Secretary Whitney as 

 one of the commis-ion to pass upon the desiens of new warships, 

 holding ttie office until his death. He was one of the first mem- 

 bers of the Ea-^tern Y. C, anl for many vears its .secretary. In 

 1888 he WPS appointed pc^rmanent chairman of the Board of Life- 

 feavmg Apph mces. That Mr. Burgess's home life was peculiarly 

 happy will tie readily apnarent to all who knew his kindly, gentle 

 and agreeable disposition. His winters were sp- nt in a handsome 

 hons^' built by him on Beacon street, Boston, and his summers in 

 a large cottage on Marol'-hRad Harbor. He leaves two children, 

 William Starling Burgess, about 13 years of age, and Charles 

 Paine Burgess, about 3 years.

 Warner challenge cup to the Stranger. Sbe was entered in class 

 4. but ancorcing to the club rules sailed in class 3 by assuming the 

 minimum time allowance of that class. As a matter of course 

 when sue made the best time of any of tbe boats in class 3 she 

 was given the first prize of $30 and no protest was made on that 

 grotind. Tbe ciaina ot Mr. Waterhouse is, however, that although 

 the Strar.ger was eligible to compete f'^r the cash prtze, she could 

 not be justly admitted in competition for the Warner chaHen-^e 

 cup. iae quBstiou now is did or did not the Stranger gain aU nf 

 the rights of a boat which belonged to the class above. The 

 judees decided that she did. The appeal is fiom the decision of
