FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Mat 2(i, 1892. 



low. We thought it would have been a little more comfortable in 

 Port Huron, but none thought of turning tail to the storm. 



During the night we had three thunder squalls in close succession, 

 and the wind raised a heavy sea which would frequently splash up 

 through the centerboard bos. Here is where the Admiral got in his 

 good work, as he stood with a determined look on his handsome face, 

 grasping a pair of trousers in his hands which he pressed firmtv 

 dowu on the spot where the water came in, aod was thus succesKf hi 

 in keepiug out large quantities, He stood there for three long hours 

 without a murmur while the remainder of the crew were busy out- 

 side pumping and handling the yacht generally. The Admiral 

 received immediate praise for bis part of the night's work. At day- 

 light it was blowing fresh, the wind and sea nsiug all the time. We 

 were out of sight of land and had no means of telling exactly how 

 far up we were. 



Our course we altered a little so as to get the land in sight 

 and pick out a harbor, as it was plain to be seen we were in for a 

 regular nor'east blow. After an nour's run we made out the land, 

 which was a high, bold shore, but no signs of any harbor, we could 

 see a depression in thelaud which we thought might be a river, so it 

 was agreed that we should proceed nearer and fry to get a lee, as 

 the water appeared good. Just here our dingy broke loo?e and it 

 took a little time to pick ber up, which was done in good style. 



We could now make out a dock and some boats lying in what 

 appeared to be a harbor, so we started directly for it. A closer ex- 

 amination proved this to be correct, and presently we rounded the 

 breakwater at Bayfield and the waves were breaking clear over the 

 pier. From two men on the other side of the harbor we learned that 

 there was plenty of water in the narrow channel to allow us to so up 

 into the basin. We did so, and were snug and out of the heavy surf 

 which rolled in at the center pier. 



The gale raged all day and all night and filled up the channel so 

 that we were unable to get out the next morning when we made an 

 attempt to start. During our short stay ;at Bayfield we made the 

 acquaintance of Mr. John Swartz, proprietor of the River Hotel, a 

 first-class hostelry for summer or other visitors, and at the time of 

 our visit his bouse was filled with guests from all parts of Ontario 

 and certainly they could not find a more obliging, klndhearted host 

 than the same John. 



While at dinner at Mr. Swartz's, we received a most startling 

 piece of news from the Stratford Beacon . Our genial landlord came 

 nto the dining room looking very serious, holding a paper in bis 

 hand, he says: "Do you fellows know that you are all dead?" We 

 looked at him in astonishment, and answered that this was the first 

 intimation of the fact that we had received, and from the way the 

 eatables had been diappearing from the table, we did not believe it. 

 "Well," he said, "you are all drowned, for here it is in black and 

 white." He then read the following : 



"Wiarton Echo: It is rumored that a number of young men from 

 Meaford, who started from there in a small boat last week for a 

 cruise, have all been drowned by the boat upsetting. The following 

 are the names of the voung men who are from Meaford: J. C. Sing, 

 H. R. Cleland, Geo. Griffith, C. T. Sutherland, A. B. Stephen and 

 E. R Whittington." 



This item knocked all the appetite out of Daddy, and he exclaims: 

 "Boys, this is too bad." The others were rather inclined to smile, 

 but he made for the telegraph office, vowing vengeance on the re- 

 porter who started such a yarn. After he had sent off the dispatch 

 his mind was easier. 



How any person can taire any satisfaction out of circulating such 

 a report without first being satisfied that it is true, is more than I 

 can understand. Every person must know that one's friends are 

 anxious about them when they are on the water, and exposed to cer- 

 tain dangers, and for a newspaper to deliberately put such lies in 

 circulation that are sure to reach home is contemptible to say the 

 least of it. 



With the assistance of Mr. Swartz, two spans of norses and about 

 half the town, we were pulled over the bar at 4 o'clock, and once 

 more floated on the bosom of Lake Huron. A tug happened to be at 

 Bayfield en route for Gaderich, and as the wind was very light and 

 ahead, we gave him our line and in two hours were between the 

 piers at Goderich. We will all al svays keep a warm spot in our re- 

 membrance of J. Swartz for his extreme kindness to us while at 

 Bayfield, and 1 am sure he has the unbounded thanks of the crew of 

 the Olivette. 



We left Goderich early, head wind again, but were making good 

 time up as far as Point Clark, when Major said to the Com., who 

 was steering, that he was told there was a bad shoal running out a 

 long way from some point near Kincardine. He was asked the 

 name of the point and said he thought it was Black Point. The chart 

 was consulted and no such point appeared. However it was decided 

 to put the yacht on the starboard tacE and stand further out into 

 the lake. 



We had gone only a short distance when up came the board and in 

 another instant we were hard and fast on a shoal covering about 

 one-eighth of an acre, "two and one-half miles from Point Clark 

 Light, no buoy to mark this dangerous patch which lies in a direct 

 line from Goderich to Kincardine. By moving ballast and dispens- 

 ing with part of it altogether, we managed after three hours 5 hard 

 work to work ourselves off. 



After the yacht was again put in trim, we made sail and 

 started again for Kincardine where we arrived at daylight next 

 morning. Captain had left us shortly after we struck the shoal to 

 procure a tug to assist us off, and we saw no more of him until about 

 noon next day, when his smiling visage appeared on the dock at 

 Kincardine, mighty pleased to see us all safe and sound in port. 



We remained in port all day Sunday, met some very hospitable 

 people who made our short visit very pleasant indeed. Next day we 

 went to Port Elgin, and here Daddy left us and drove home 46 

 miles, while by water we were 180 miles from home. 



Next night we laid at Golden Valley, near Round Island. This is a 

 very hard place to take, as the channel is very intricate and full of 

 dangers in the shape cf sunken reefs. Next day we made as far as 

 Cape Hurd and passed through the Cape Hurd Channel and once 

 more found ourselves in old Georgian Bay. 



I am not wide of the mark when I say that a great feeling of relief 

 took possession of all hands when we sailed in our beautiful Bay so 

 free from those many traps with which the east shore of Lake Huron 

 abounds. Instead of having to keep six or seven miles from the 

 shore, as you have to from Port Elgin to Cape Hurd, you sail so 

 close to the land that you could toss a biscuit ashore. Just off Half 

 Way Rock we met the steam yacht Straightaway, of Bay City, who 

 heartily saluted us and we returned the compliment. We had a 

 spanking good breeze until off Wingfleld Basin when it fell entirely, 

 so all went to explore the Basin except the Com. who was left in 

 charge. 



Lying in the Basin was the White Wings, of Meaford, with several 

 ladies and gentlemen aboard. All were glad to meet each other, and 

 as they were getting ready for a start, the yachts sailed in company 

 until the White Wings was headed for Dywer's Bay and Olivette for 

 Lynn's Head. On arriving we took a hearty supper, went down to 

 the yacht and turned in. Up at daybreak and started, light air, but 

 fair, splendid run to Cape Croker, as the breeze had freshened. 

 There we stopped for two or three hours to clean up ship and get 

 everything shipshape before reaching home, now only 32 miles 

 distant. At dark we were off Cape Rich, and as the wind had died 

 away completely, it took all night to make Meaford. 



At daylight the Com. took the dingy and rowed to Swarthmoor 

 Camp, where he soon had them all awake and found everybody in 

 good health. The boys reached the harbor soon after, and here 

 ended one of the most enjoyable cruises ihat it has ever been the 

 good fortune of the writer to participate in. 



I cannot close these rambling remarks without commenting on the 

 great contrast between the Canadian and American shore which 

 must be apparent to every person who has ever taken a trip down 

 the St. Clair and Detroit rivers. Take a belt of country five miles in 

 width, commencing at Port Huron and extending to and including 

 the city of Detroit, you find apopulation of 300,000 people, there be- 

 ing beautiful towns between Detroit and Port Huron, for instance, 

 St. Clair, Marine City, etc. Everything denotes prosperity and a go- 

 ahead, businesslike appearance which on our side is conspicuous by 

 its absence. Now take a similar belt on the Canadian side, and what 

 do you find? Why, the population, including Windsor, Walker ville, 

 and Sarnia is not more than 25,000 ah told. Why is this? Our side 

 of the river is the better land, and there is no reason tha t suen a dif- 

 ference should exist in the short distance of half a mile. Will some 

 of our politicians please explain? 



The Georgian Bay with a superficial area of 5,000sq. miles and 

 its 57,000 islands (Bayfield's estimate), along the north shore and up 

 the North Channel, offers better opportunities for cruising, camp- 

 ing out, fishing, hunting, than can be found in any body of fresh 

 water. 



A fairer spot would indeed be bard to find than in the neighbor- 

 hood of Moon River or Point Aux Barrie, but there is no necessity 

 to particularize as the tourist cannot go astray, The islands extend 

 out into the Bay in places on the north shore 18 miles from the main 

 land. The American people as well as ourselves have come to the 

 conclusion that it is the campers' paradise, and large parties come 

 every summer from Philadelphia, Buffalo, and as far as New York 

 to spend a few weeks there. Many of the islands are already sold, 

 and many applied for. The government charges $5 per acre, an 

 office fee of $5 and the purchaser pays for the survey. Many Toronto 

 families remain on their islands all summer as they find it more con- 

 genial than in the city. S. 



Mr, Robert Goelet has ordered a 65ft. steam yaoht of 0. L, Seabury 

 & Co., of Nyack. 



THE FISHER CUP. 



The following conditions have recently been drawn up to govern 

 the contests for the Fisher cup, now hold by Norah, Mr. John 

 Bell, of Belleville, Ontario: 



Whereas, The rules governing the competition for the Fisher eup 

 for sloop yachts, have proved in practice wholly inadequate. 



And whereas, Mr A. J. Fisher, the generous donor of the said cup. 

 has declared that "I have given up yachting entirely" and declines 

 to further interest himsslf in the matter; 



And whereas, the Chicago Yacht Club, under whose auspices the 

 cup was first offered for competition, is extinct and no authority 

 competent to render said rules practical and workable exists outside 

 of tne Bay of Quinte Yacht Club: 



Therefore, be it resolved, by the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club, by and 

 with the consent of the. trustees of the said cup, that in order to en- 

 courage bona fide, competition for the Fisher Cup aforesaid and thus

 ment, as existiug in 1891. upon the following conditions: 



1. It is to be held bv the winner thirty days after race without

 1st of September in each year, the wiuner must accept any chal- 

 lenge, and be prepared to sail a race for the same within thirty days 

 from the receipt of such challenge in writing, or forfeit the cup to 

 the challenger; but should any yacht succeed in holding tne cup in 

 two consecutive races during one season, it will not again be liable 

 to challenge until the commencement of the yachting season of the 

 following year. 



3. The challenge for this cup shall be in writing and shall fix the 

 day of the race not less than twenty five days from the date of the 

 receipt of the challenge by the holder of the cup, unless otherwise 

 agreed between the parties. 



4. This cup will become the bona fide property of any yacht hold- 

 ing it successfully for four consecutive races, or for two consecutive 

 yachting seasons without a race. 



5. The yachting season in reference to this cup, is to be from 

 the first Saturday in June until the last Saturday in September in 

 each year. 



6. Should a yacht holding this cup be destroyed or rendered unfit 

 for racing, or the owner thereof die, or should she be sold out of the 

 club to which she belongs and not into another yacht club, the cup 

 shall be returned to the club to be again sailed for; and if the cup 

 should be held by a foreign yacht, and she should be sold out of the 

 club to which she belongs and not into another yacht club, the cup 

 shall not go with her, but shall be returned to the club to which she 

 belonged when the cup was won, to be sailed for again; and in case 

 any yacht is sold and her owner enrolls her in another club the cup 

 shall go with her to such other club, to be sailed for the same as if

 race, has been completed, the cup shall be awarded to the other com- 

 petitor. No restriction as to crews or steersman. 



The sailing rules, time allowance and regulations of the L. Y. R, 

 Association shall govern in all other respects.

OSWEGO AND LAKE ONTARIO. 



Editor Forest a n d Street m : 



The season of 1892 on Lake Ontario will be an interesting one for 

 yachtsmen: 



The opening cruise of the Oswego and Rochester Yacht Clubs both 

 occur on May 28 and their destination, Great Sodus Bay, being the 

 same, there will be more than usual interest. 



In the Oswego Y. C. fleet, which races for the club pennant on that 

 day, are the noted flyers Yama, Pappoose, Cinderella, Choctaw and 

 others. In the circuit races of the Lake Yacht Racing Association 

 Oriole aDd Yreda will have to try conclusions with Cinderella, and 

 White Wings and Verve with Pappoose and Choctaw. 



In the 40ft. class the new Fife cutter Zelina, of Toronto, especially 

 designed to beat the famous Yama. of Oswego, will compete. Every 

 one expects a close race between Katie Cray, Dinah and Gracie in 

 the 35ft. class. 



A new Fife yacht is also building for the 30ft. class which, with 

 Samoa, Kelpie, Erma and Nancy, should make a pretty race. 



The new Fife Soft. No, of Rochester, is expected to keep the Maud 

 B. and the rest of that class in her wake. Our club houses are re- 

 ceiving an overhauling and repainting. Unusual preparations are 

 already begun to make this a memorable year. Tiller. 



YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



The spring meeting of the New York Y. C. was held on May 39, 

 with Com. Gerry in the chair. Several of the proposed amendments 

 to the constitution and by-laws, including those relating to officers of 

 the U. S. Navy, to nominations of officers, to representation and to 

 racing numbers, were adopted subject to ratification at a special 

 meeting to be held on June 9, when the date and place of rendezvous 

 for the annual cruise will be decided. The proposed amendment 

 making the measurer a paid servant of the club instead of an officer, 

 was opposed by every one of the voting members and was lost. The 

 new cap device recently submitted for the club's approval was unani- 

 mously adopted. For yacht owners the device is a red cross, with a 

 white star in the center, on a blue ground, shaped like a half globe, 

 resting on two foul ancbors in gold, and the whole fastened to a 

 broad band of black military braid. For non-yacht owners the de- 

 vice is the same, except that the colws rest on a single foul anchor. 

 The report of the special committee on an exhibit of models at the 

 World's Fair was to the effect that the club had no authority to re- 

 move or loan the collection, and nothing will be done. The following 

 members were elected: Geo. B. De Forest, J. Edward Aekley, John 

 Henry Purdy Wm. Salomon, Benj. R. Bedle, Thos R. Chanej,Traey 

 Dows, Dwight Braman, Daniel E. Starr, H. R. McHarg, George H. 

 Belcher, James Clinch Smith, John Junius Morgan. Jos. R. Hegeman,
